Project 2: Controls and Display Evaluation of Instrumental panel of the vehicle.

Project 3: Driver Package Evaluation of 2004 Toyota Solara.

Vehicle Integration: Vehicle development for year 2020 right from planning, design to manufacturing, using systems engineering approach, QFD and bench-marking products. Involved in translation of customer needs into vehicle specifications and vehicle attribute requirements, Analysis of vehicle systems, Understanding issues in interface design and trade-offs, organize and manage timelines for the whole project and developing a validation plan.

Mechanical Behavior of polymers:

Applications of Thermoplastics, Thermosets and Elastomers in various industries. Mechanical behavior of polymers and ceramics are considered in relation to their structures, processing and applications. Emphasis is given on their deformation, fatigue and fracture characteristics. Strengthening mechanisms for both materials

Automotive Powertrains:

Vehicle powertrain kinematics and dynamics, vehicle road load analysis, engine-transmission matching, design and analysis of gears and gear systems, planetary gear trains. Design of powertrain components, clutch and transmission design analysis, torque and ratio analysis of automatic transmissions

Finite Element Method (CAE using ABAQUS) - Elevated Bridge Design: Project involved 3D modeling and analysis of a bridge using ABAQUS tool to meet a specific load/mass ratio. The material properties, the beam dimensions and orientations were changed in iterations to achieve maximum efficiency and best load/mass ratio.

Undergraduate Project

Modification of surface properties of AA2014 alloy by Friction Surfacing

Using manual milling machine, AA6061 and High Carbon High Chromium steel were friction surfaced on AA2014(substrate) to improve properties like hardness,pitting corrosion resistance and wear resistance of AA2014.
