Student Work experience

Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, USA

Volunteer Lab Assistant, Advance Composite Research Laboratory June 2017 to Present

• Currently working on Side Crash Impact simulation using Composite Materials.

Volunteer Lab Assistant May 2016 to May 2017

• Modelling of Structural components like, beams, columns, truss member using CATIA V5 for Formula SAE.

• Perform meshing of the components using HyperMesh and analyzing it with Abaqus CAE.

• Performed structural calculations to compare the results.

Teaching Assistant, Manufacturing Process Mechanics course January 2017 to April 2017

• Assisted Professor Cong Wang as a Teaching assistant for Manufacturing Process Mechanics Course.

Student Assistant May 2016 to January 2017

• Worked as a Student assistant at Housing Department.

Gogte Institute of Technology, Belgaum, KA, INDIA

Optimization of Chassis and Analysis using ANSYS 14.0 January 2013 to May 2013

• Worked in a team of 4 on the comparison of a Space frame chassis to a Semi-Monocoque chassis on the grounds of torsional stiffness on a Formula 3 car.

• The results showed that Semi-Monocoque chassis has higher torsional stiffness than a Space frame chassis.

• Contribution to the Project: Modelled the vehicle chassis using CATIA V5. Measured the dimensions of the entire chassis and the calculation of the weight of the chassis thus doing manual calculation to compare with the analytical results.

Academic Projects

• Successfully simulated a Buckling Load Analysis on a Bracket using ABAQUS CAE and HyperMesh and to check if the bracket can withstand the buckling load applied on it and to make improvements to the bracket by applying a patch.

• Successfully designed a 7-layered composite slab which is a part of the blade of the Wind Turbine and applied the calculated Bending and Twisting loads.

• Successfully Completed a Project which involved surface modeling of the front bumper of the Car using CATIA V5 and performing the crash analysis of the same using composite materials with tools like HyperMesh and LS-Dyna.

• Successfully simulated Front Crash Analysis (FMVSS 208), Side Crash Analysis (FMVSS 214) and Roof crush analysis (FMVSS 216) and made improvements to the models to bear more loads using HyperMesh and LS-Dyna.

• Worked on Projects involving the linear, non-linear analysis of Bearing Press fit, Bolt Pretension, fatigue failure due to thermal loading and explicit analysis of 3-point bending beam.

Hobby Project

Hovercraft September 2010 to December 2010

• Prepared a working prototype of a Hovercraft (Amphibious Vehicle).

• Design of the Hovercraft was prepared in CATIA V5. Three motored fans were at the bottom to provide the balanced lift required. Skirting was done to conform the air below the chassis of the Hovercraft.
