Hasnaa was a M.S. student in Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University working on the “Post-Crash Fire Forensic Analysis on Aerospace Composites.” She received a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from the International University of Rabat (UIR) where she acquired a solid foundation and knowledge in various disciplines related to the aerospace domain. She pursued a Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering at Mississippi State University (MSU). As a master student at MSU, she worked on the “Validation of the Two-Parameter Fracture Criterion (TPFC)” an equation developed by Professor J.C. Newman (my Master advisor). The TPFC equation can be used to correlate and predict failure loads on cracked metallic fracture specimens. During this work, she performed two-dimensional finite-element simulations using the critical crack-tip opening angle (CTOA) to analyze the fracture data of middle crack tension specimens made of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. She was awarded full scholarships from both UIR and MSU. She also worked on the development of a technical report about “RADAR absorbing materials and their implementation in aircraft structures.” She was a teaching assistant for a “Statics and dynamics” and “Solid mechanics in mechanical design.”
