Performance Driven Workforce (PDW) – Dearborn, MI May 2017 to Present Vehicle Evaluator

Test drive pre-production vehicles on designated test routes (duty cycle, EVAP, local city, high mileage and transmission) and provide specific feedback (engine, fuel system, ignition system, electrical system, exhaust system, drive train, suspension and steering systems, brake system, frame and body) to the original equipment manufacturers.

Evaluate pre-production vehicles under static (inspect for damage in interior trim, seating, exterior body) and dynamic (NVH issues, unusual engine and transmission noise, brake noise, inspection of steering system and HVAC system) conditions.

Conduct Sync test for the infotainment system to evaluate Bluetooth connection, radio, climate control and navigation (SIRIUS Travel Link).

Graduate Research Assistant January 2015 to March 2015 Worked on a Project “Life Assessment of Lead Free Solder Joints” for Center for Manufacturing and Research.

Arranged the experimental setup to perform Modal Analysis experiments.

Carried out Modal testing on the test vehicle to collect the modal data. Natural frequencies were mapped for the lead-free solder joints to study the dynamic properties of the structure. EDUCATION

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Modal Analysis of a Commercial Vehicle Brake Rotor April 2016 to August 2016

Successfully executed a research project on a commercial brake rotor to analyze dynamic properties implementing Modal Analysis. Both FE and experimental modal analysis was carried out to correlate the natural frequencies and mode shapes and validate the model of the brake rotor.

3D model of the brake rotor was remodeled in SOLIDWORKS and FE modal analysis was computed in ANSYS Workbench. A free boundary condition was applied by using the elastic chords to carry out the experimental modal analysis.

Impact hammer test was implemented to acquire the modal data and post processed in the ME scope software. Natural frequencies from both the analysis were compared and there was less than 10% of deviation which concludes that the material of the brake rotor (Grey Cast Iron) used for experimental modal analysis was same as the material used in FE modal analysis. Impact test of a tire-wheel assembly March 2015 to May 2015

A solid geometry of a tire-wheel assembly was modeled in PTC Creo and impact test was executed in ANSYS followed by an experiment to validate the model.

Both the FEA and experimental testing had consistent tire deformations and expected stress locations. Design and FEA analysis of a lube filter end cap February 2015

With fully annotated drawing of a lube filter endcap, a solid geometry was modeled in PTC Creo perform FEA in ANSYS workbench.

By applying a differential pressure to the upstream side of the endcap FEA was operated and the results were correlated with the hand calculations.

Self-Proclaiming Generator (undergraduate design project) February 2014 to June 2014

Built a prototype of an electric car with a basic motor generator coupled to it. The electricity generated would be used to power the main battery and an auxiliary battery, which would power all the accessory components.

Incorporated a microcontroller and GSM module to communicate with the electric car and enhance the security features.
