MSc Eng. Przemysław Sebastjan
My cooperation with the industry started from an engineering degree project that I carried out in cooperation with Tenneco Automotive in Gliwice. The combination of knowledge gained from studies (mechanics, materials science and strength of materials) along with access to advanced software allowed me to realize a project that has been completed successfully and is in use in Tenneco right now. After completing my engineer degree, I was offered a job from Tenneco. Thanks to the flexible working hours and the goodwill of my lecturers, I was able to study mechanical engineering full-time (specialization: computer aided engineering) while working on a part-time basis. My master thesis project was realized again in collaboration with Tenneco. Knowledge of the theory of plasticity and finite element method acquired in the course of the masters studies has proven invaluable. After completing my thesis I was offered a full-time job at Tenneco. As a part of my job I deal mainly with:
numerical modeling of shock absorbers (mainly MacPherson struts) and their components in HyperMesh and Abaqus/CAE,
creating static and quasi-static shock validation analysis fin Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit,
fatigue analysis based on FEM numerical simulation results in nCode,
in addition: metal forming analysis, reverse engineering (Isight), optimization (Tosca) and development of experimental methods for the identification of material data.
My work is performed for (and cooperation with) the majority of car brands available on our market, like Ford, VW, BMW, JLR, Mercedes, PSA, Renault, Dacia, Nissan, Scania, etc.
