Philippe AMUZUGA

Philippe is a Structural Analysis Engineer of CETIM (Technical Institute of the French mechanical industry). He works mainly in the field of steel construction, and more particularly on designing and sizing by the digital chain. Specialized in structural and contact fatigue, he applies and develops advanced analysis tools to correlate and valorize test results with numerical models..

His fields of interest cover structural analysis based on FEA (Abaqus, Ansys) and fatigue analysis (nCode), dealing with strength of structures or mechanical components and training for knowledge transfer to industry.

Areas of Expertise

  • Fatigue of mechanical components
  • Contact fatigue
  • Digital Twinning and Model Reduction
  • Residual Life of Structures and Equipment
  • Training (Fatigue analysis based on finite element calculations).

Profile
