Modeling and Performance Analysis of Flexible Pavement Structure with an Embedded Energy Harvesting Module (Thesis) June 2015 – December 2016

- Finite element method (FEM) was used to determine an operating conditions that would maximize the efficiency of the pavement embedded piezoelectric energy-harvesting module

- Stress analysis outputs suggested to place an energy-harvesting module at shallow depths

- Recommended to use the soft material around it’s perimeter only, instead of filling completely

- This recommendation led to increase in load transfer to piezoelectric elements by 72%

- Performed Dynamic analysis to quantify strain energy in the pavement structure using ABAQUS

- Used Extended finite element method (XFEM) to study the crack propagation behavior in pavement structure under the influence of an energy-harvesting Module Baseline Measurements of Propulsive Rotor Test Tower September 2015 – December 2015

- Measured Forces and Torques using load cell

- Measured and monitored the vibrations of shaft of propulsive rotor test tower to avoid system failure

- Utilized & Calibrated an accelerometer in each direction and calculated it’s sensitivity

- Developed a LabVIEW program for data acquisition Design and Development of XY Flexure Mechanism June 2011 – June 2012

- Designed and developed XY planar flexure mechanism based on double parallelogram flexure for precision scanning application

- Achieved an increment in scanning range by 90% compared to existing flexure mechanisms

- Modelled a 3D mechanism using CATIA V5

- Performed static structural and modal analysis of mechanism using ANSYS Design of Components for Internal Combustion Engine July 2011 – December 2011

- Designed cylinder, piston, connecting rod, crankshaft, valve gear mechanism using empirical methods

- Executed 3D modeling of IC engine components in CATIA V5

- Prepared manufacturing drawing involving assembly and detailed parts in AutoCAD AWARDS

- UTSA College of Engineering Valero Research Scholarship Spring 2016, Summer 2016

- Most Innovative Project award, ASCE Innovation contest May 2016 Team Project: Hybrid Energy Harvesting and Battery-less Wireless Sensing and Monitoring System for the Next Generation Smart Transportation Infrastructures PUBLICATION (ACCEPTED)
