Title: Design of advanced Bike Lock Mar’17 – April’17

- Performed ethnography and applied conceptual design principles such as axiomatic design method, TRIZ design contradictions leading to design of a robust and novel bike lock focusing on preventing bike theft.

- Used back of the envelope calculations and SOLIDWORKS package to model and perform static analysis of the bike lock. Title: Design and Stress Analysis of a Centrifugal Governor Nov’16 – Dec’16

- Designed a repeatable eight-legged centrifugal governor contained in given annular space in a team of four members.

- Generated all possible parameter combinations satisfying our design criteria with the help of an Excel design sheet.

- Modelled the governor using SOLIDWORKS and performed linear static analysis using COSMOSWORKS.

- Assisted in the frequency analysis of the governor, preventing resonance.

- Documented every step in the design process and coordinated with co-author to write the project report. Title: Steady, Two-dimensional Boundary Layer flow Nov’16 – Dec’16

- Solved the steady, two dimensional, viscous Navier-Stokes equation to determine the velocity profile over a flat plate.

- Used the fractional step/ time splitting method with first and second order discretization to solve the Navier-Stokes equation.

- Developed a Matlab code simulating the above flow and compare the results with analytical results for error determination. Title: Study of Time Varying Flow Conditions in a Shock Tube Mar’16 – April’16.

- Studies the variation of parameters such as temperature, pressure and shock strength in a shock tube with respect to time.

- Performed analytic study using Method of Characteristics to determine a solution for reflected shock and expansion waves.

- Developed a generic code using Matlab for above analytic solution to analyse the effects of change in initial conditions. Title: Material Selection for Hip Replacement Prostheses Oct’15 – Dec’15

- Analysed for material selection the needs of customer undergoing a hip replacement prosthesis as: ease, safe and affordable.

- Applied Ashby method of material selection aided by CES Edu Pack database for the replacement of femoral head. Title: Design and Manufacturing of attachment for Potato planting Sept’14 – April’15

- Designed and fabricated an attachment prototype for the sugarcane planters that enables simultaneous potato planting.

- Worked in a group of four students. Modelled the attachment using CATIA V5 and performed stress analysis using ANSYS.

- Increased profits by INR 30,000 per acre of land per month. Title: Designing a portable air compressor Feb’15 – April’15

- Designed a single cylinder, single acting mobile air compressor for operating a Pneumatic drill for 12 cfm at 120psi.

- Performed analytical design along with use of Microsoft Excel to link variable values for a parameterized design.

- Modelled the compressor using CATIA V5 solid modelling and performed stress analysis using ANSYS simulation.
