WORK EXPER IENCE

Design Engineer (R&D), MR F Ti res Limited, Chennai, I ndia J une

2011-July 2012

? Modeled the profile of the t i re section based on the customer?s requirement using

CATIA V5 and enhanced i t by predicting the overall dimensions of the t i re by

performing FEA simulations using Hypermesh and Abaqus

? Car ried out all the testing activities like braking force, stopping distance & NVH

? Assisted Project Manager and Developed schedule for project and prepared scope

? Created and evaluated DVP & R?s

? Performed DFMEA?s on existing/new product designs

? Served as a technical contact between R&D and the plant and developed strong

i nterpersonal skills

ACADEM IC PROJECT EXPER IENCE

Computer Implementation of Finite Element Analysis (FEA), USC

Fall 2013

Purpose: To introduce user-defined routines/procedures to solve finite element models using

M ATLAB

? Plane stress analysis for shear wall under two conditions : applied concentrated force

and uniform temperature change using membrane element

? Static analysis of pipe assemblage(intersection of two steel pipes) using plate-shell

elements under the application of pressure on the edge of the vertical pipe

? Computed the values of stress, strain and deformation & compared the results

obtained from MATLAB with the ABAQUS model

M odeling, Simulation and Control of Hydraulic Cranes, N I T

Spring 2011

Purpose: To model the dynamics of a hydraulically operated crane.

? Derived the model with the t raditional Euler-Lagrange formalism

? Simulated the model in MATLAB which allowed to do parameter changes for fur ther

s tudies

? Established a crane-t ip control using the principle of Inverse Kinematics

D esign of an Electric Two Wheeler, I ndian I nstitute of Technology, Bombay

Summer 2010

Purpose: To design and fabricate an alternative fuel vehicle.

? Single unified body design in FRP integrating styling, ergonomics and engineering

? All the components are mounted on the load bearing FRP body

? Runs on a Brushless electric DC motor of 24V, 250W with 4 Li-Ion batteries(22Ah)

p roducing a maximum speed of 20Kmph and can bear a maximum payload of 90Kg

? Free from corrosion due to FRP body, light weight and no metal chassis
