The Applied Structural Mechanical Analysis team is part of the global operating department of Global Engineering Services within the Flowserve Corporation. The team performs in-depth structural mechanical and rotor dynamic analysis on all product lines of Flowserve, including valves, pumps, and seals. The analyses are done for internal customers during R&D, product upgrades, order acquisition/fulfillment, and for external customers in the aftermarket.

Flowserve has restructured the engineering organization to a centralized global organization. In this organization, Global Engineering Services delivers highly specialized services to all Flowserve’s business units in the following areas:
Fluid Flow, Structural Mechanics, Materials, and Product Compliance.

The Engineer Applied Structural Mechanical Analysis performs structural and rotor dynamic analysis and reviews for order engineering, product development and for R&D for all Business Units and products. This includes optimization of the mechanical product design in accordance with customer specifications and requirements, national and international standards and internal procedures. The engineer performs mechanical and rotor dynamic analysis in all phases of the project, including input for detailed design.

The key objectives are accuracy and quality of the results as well as the on-time delivery of said results. The engineer is the technical specialist on applied structural mechanical analysis for the product lines.

• Perform structural, thermal and vibration engineering analyses on pressure vessels and rotating equipment for our products (including pump, hydraulic turbine, valve, seal and including the auxiliary equipment) in order to judge the adequacy of the design in relation to the applicable design requirements and for R&D activities
• Evaluate the impact of the design modification of components on the structural design
• Define critical dimensions of products and components
• Executes different types of mechanical analysis and reporting, including torsional and lateral analysis on products, such as pumps and skids
• Perform evaluation utilizing classical methods of structural analysis, thermal analysis, and hydraulic analysis
• Carry out finite element analysis (FEA) of machine components, sub-assemblies and related support structures to determine stress, strain and, where necessary, natural frequencies, un-damped and damped
• Review and evaluate customer specifications and supplier quotations related to technical acceptability of the mechanical design
