Master's Thesis and Courses
Thesis Topic - Applications of Sensitivity Data to Eigensolution
Reanalysis of Modified Structures
Developed a new approach for approximating eigenvalues and
eigenvectors of large structures modified due to design change. Computed
the approximations for various modifications in frame structure using
Matlab 2008a. Potential applications include faster structural
optimization with eigenvalue constraints, quick estimate of effects of
structural damage on eigenvalue and eigenvector.
Finite Element Method Design optimization
Structural Dynamics Structural Aspects of Design
Thermal Conduction Fluid Dynamics
Analytic Methods Engineering Engineering Analysis
Academic Projects
> Solid modeling and assembly of a reciprocating compressor using
Pro/Engineer wildfire 2
> Vibration analysis of a frame structure using ANSYS. Eigenvalues,
eigenvectors and forced response
> Topology optimization of a truss structure with stress and eigenvalue
as constrains.
> Weight optimization of a bar with eigenvalue constraints.
> Optimization of arrangement of heat sources to minimize the peak
temperature of the plate
