Project Experience
Proposing installation of photovoltaic cells in USC campus to charge electric vehicles
• Technical analysis relating type of cells and power to be generated to charge vehicles
• Economic analysis of installing photovoltaic cells to estimated pay back period
• Designed a solar calculator for the analysis
Formula SAE aims to test the student’s ability to design a small formula style race car which is then
evaluated on various technical and reliability parameters.
• Conceptualized and designed the body of the car.
USC
• Instrumental in designing the differential of the car.
Final year B.E. project Mechanical Characterization of Fiber reinforced plastic
• Investigated tensile, compressive and flexural properties of FRP honeycomb panels of
varying cell size and height.
• The effects of panel configuration and cell were accounted for to obtain analytical solution for
the flexural properties and correlate them with the experimental results obtained
• Planned and directed the research by integrating the individual work of the team members
and interpreting the results
