ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

FORMULA SAE:(Chassis Design, Analysis and Development) 2016-17

Collaborated with 2 engineers to set design targets i.e. weight reduction of the frame and increasing torsional stiffness.

Remodeled the chassis and executed the FEA static structural model in Solidworks.

Reduced the weight of chassis by 15 pounds and increased torsional stiffness by 800 Nm/deg.

FORMULA SAE:(Engine Intake Design) 2015-16

Designed and developed the 20 mm venturi air restrictor for the FSAE racecar.

Modeled 5 different prototypes with different converging and diverging angles to establish a pattern of fluid flow.

Optimized the design to minimize pressure losses and maximize air flow through the restrictor through CFD simulations.

Conducted a study on using hot wire anemometry to plot flow field of restrictor and cross reference it with computational models to understand the discrepancy.

Design, development and testing of a catapult: Aug 2014- Dec 2014

Led a team of 5 engineers to design a robust, cost efficient and an accurate catapult for shooting ping pong balls

Designed the shooting capability a range of 16 feet and utilized DFMEA, DFA to reduce the assembly time by 9 minutes.

Successfully accomplished the target accuracy of 95% with a paltry budget of $22.

Design of a flywheel energy storage system for a solar vehicle: May-June 2015

Conceptualized to use flywheels as mechanical batteries to replace electrical batteries in the solar energy vehicle.

Designed energy storage system 8 lbs lighter than the battery to fulfill 20 % of the energy requirement of the vehicle.
