Abaqus Mentoring for Composite Bolted Joints

Title: Abaqus FEA Expert Needed – 3D Stress Analysis of Composite Bolted Joints I am seeking an experienced Mechanical/Aerospace FEA engineer for technical mentoring on my Bachelor's Final Year Project: 3D Stress Analysis of Composite Bolted Joints. Scope of Support: Review existing research papers, project guidelines and presentation. Help establish literature-based geometry, laminate stacking sequence, material properties, loading and boundary conditions. Provide step-by-step guidance for developing and validating a 3D solid Abaqus model, comparing metallic and composite bolted joints. Explain contact mechanics, Hertzian stress theory, mesh convergence, stress concentrations and result interpretation. Review my simulation approach and provide feedback on my independently written report. Offer viva preparation sessions to help me understand and defend my engineering decisions. Software: Abaqus 2022 or newer. Experience with composite modelling and access to a suitably licensed full version are preferred. My Learning Edition has a 1,000-node limit. Important: This is an academic mentoring and technical consultation role. I will complete my own assessed work and write my final report independently, in accordance with university academic-integrity requirements. Please share your relevant Abaqus experience, availability, estimated hours, proposed milestones and quotation.
