Mr. Gonzalez initiated his professional career in the aerospace industry in 2003. As a Certification Engineer with B/E Aerospace, Inc., he witnessed static tests of business jets interior structures like passenger seats, divans, and cabinets. He also developed flammability test plans and reports to show compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations. As a Structural Engineer working with Piper Aircraft, Inc., he gained experience in structural static, dynamic and fatigue analysis of aircraft primary structure like the wing, fuselage and empennage. The analysis methods he applies include Finite Element Analysis combined with classic hand calculations for buckling, dynamic, and static analysis and Palmgren-Miner hypothesis for fatigue analysis.
