FEA Academy

👉 Senior FEA consultant, trainer and coach with 25+ years of experience in FEA.

👉 He has an advanced expertise in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of static and dynamic problems for linear and nonlinear structural behaviors on aerospace metallic and composite structures such as aircraft fuselage, wing, empennage, nacelle, engine pylon and systems.

👉 Dominique conducted detailed finite element analyses for aerospace companies in Europe and in North America: Airbus, Dassault Aviation, Safran, Bell Helicopter, Bombardier Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney Canada, Beta Technologies, and their subcontractors.

👉 He is the author of the books “Practical Finite Element Analysis for Mechanical Engineer” and "Harness the Power of FEA", which provide practical methods and guidelines for engineers and students in developing and validating finite element models. Additionally, these books offer valuable insights for technical managers on building and managing effective FEA teams.

👉 Dominique is the founder & director of FEA Academy and FEA Experts, companies offering FEA Consulting Services as well as FEA Training, Coaching and Mentoring Services.

👉 Currently working as a CAE/FEA Project Engineer at Fidelis for 2.5 years.

👉 As the technical project lead, she engages with customers to fully understand their simulation requirements and determine the project scope, material model requirements, interactions, loading, boundary conditions and project time frame.

👉 She works on projects within various industries including aerospace, medical, nuclear, manufacturing and automotive.

👉 Sai earned her PhD and master’s degrees from Clemson University and has a specialization in Computational Mechanics and FEA.

👉 Sai has expertise in solving boundary value problems in theory of elasticity, continuum plasticity, applied solid mechanics and homogenization of periodic lattice topologies.

👉 She is also proficient in formulating and programming finite element analysis code for beams, solids, plates, and shells including geometric and material nonlinearities, and failure.
