academic projects

Apr 2017 Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago, IL

Advanced CAD/CAM class

Design and analysis of robotic arm

Design and analysis engineer for a 5 member team.

Applied a load of -50 N in x, y and z axis one at a time to simulate bending and axial loading. The model with plastic arm crashed due to excessive load while the model with steel arm survived the load.

Performed heat transfer and coupled temperature displacement analysis. A temperature of 373K was applied on gripper and 273K on the arm. The result indicated that heat flux was small and will not damage the arm by melting it.

Presented the model and analysis in front of an open audience including Professor, faculty and classmates.

Apr 2016 Illinois institute of technology

Design of Mechanical Systems class

Simple coffee machine Chicago, IL

Design and prototyping engineer for a team of 5.

Manufactured and assembled the coffee machine using 3D printer, laser cutter with materials like acrylic and PLA plastic.

Solved problems like improper flow of water, random servo motions and excess friction in auger motion.

Performed tests to verify optimum flow rate, optimum brewing temperature and servo motions. It took around 3 minutes to brew an 8oz cup of coffee. Hot water temperature was around 200̊F.

Jan 2016 Illinois institute of technology

Design of Mechanical Systems class

two wheeled paper based chariot Chicago, IL

Modeling and assembly engineer for a team of 5.

Drafted and assembled the Chariot using laser cutter, CNC machine for cutting foam core board and foam.

Executed off-road tests to test durability, dynamics, friction analysis on snow and dirt ground. Top ground speed was 5mph with a weight capacity of 200lb.

Performed reliability and weight testing using the heaviest rider (200lb).

Presented the model in front of an open audience including Professor, faculty and classmates.

Independent Project

June 2016 simple leaf blower hovercraft Chicago, IL

Modeled and fabricated a working hovercraft using plywood, shower curtain and a 160mph electric leaf blower.

Gained knowledge about pressurized air flow thereby understood air cushioning.

Conducted tests on various surfaces like wooden floor, carpet and concrete road. Ground speed was 2 to 3 mph.
