ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

Predict the fatigue life of solder balls in flip-chip packages: (April, 2017)

Model the flip-chip geometry in 2D as per the given dimensions. Model was meshed such a way that the mesh is fine near the solder ball region as thermal loading acts in that region.

Material properties are assigned to the respective components, equivalence and the normals were checked. Second order elements are assigned to the elements present (CPE8).

The constraints are applied in the X and Y direction using single DOF. Three temperature collectors are applied to all the nodes of the Flip-Chip.

The model was exported as .inp and then was analyzed in Abaqus CAE to calculate the Fatigue Life of both Cleaned and Non-cleaned models by Coffin-Manson’s equation.

Vehicle Roof Crush Simulation - FMVSS216: (Feb, 2017)

Quasi-static roof crush and Dynamic drop simulation based on FMVSS 216 test procedure was conducted.

Strength-to-Weight ratio (SWR) of the FE model was compared to test data.

What if analysis has been conducted using composite materials and also roof has been strengthened with less increase in mass compared to increased stiffness.

FE analysis to determine the Crashworthiness of a pickup truck in a side impact - FMVSS214: (Jan, 2017)

Debug Stabilize and setup the car and pole for side impact. Positioned SID-2s dummy within the truck and determine the vehicle velocity and dummy chest velocity profiles.

75/90-degree pole impact setup at velocities of 20 and 18mph respectively.

The effects of reinforcement to critical components in side impact analysis were observed.

Wind Turbine Laminate Design: (Dec, 2016)

This project discusses the stresses, strains and the failure analysis criteria under the aerodynamic wind loads experienced by the blade of a 5KW Wind Turbine made out of 7 layered composite material.

For the calculation of the Strains and the Stresses, a MATLAB program was generated.

Effect of Nano Fillers on Glass Fiber and Silk based Reinforced Polymer Composites: (May, 2015)

The sandwich structure composed of glass fiber, silk, calcium silicate nano filler and epoxy resin were fabricated using Hand layup method.

Different composition of specimen like, 0 wt%, 1 wt%, 2 wt% and 3 wt%, were fabricated by varying the percentage of nano filler and silk.

The work is focused on study of mechanical properties like tension, flexure, impact behaviour of the composite.

Mesh Element type and sizing using Finite Element Methods: (May, 2014)

Develop and analyzed a 2D simply supported rectangular beam subjected to shear load using ANSYS with three different mesh sizes like Coarse, fine and Very fine.

Compared the results between ANSYS and Numerical solution and calculated the error percentage for different mesh sizes.

Analyzed and compared maximum deflection stress with analytical solution and even plotted von misses to understand the stress level under load condition.
