GOE, Hyderabad (INDIA): Oct ‘12 – Mar ‘13

• Served as a team leader for 6-member team to meticulously study various components involved in power generation including boiler, air heaters, fans, compressor, turbine, and mountings.

• Conducted boiler efficiency calculations to show that the boiler was operating at efficiency of 80.9%.

• Observed boiler / retrieved required values for needed calculations to increase boiler efficiency by 0.01% through use of quality coal with calorific value of greater than 3200 (3600 Kcal/Kg), resulting in increased power generation by 0.5MW.

GRADUATE THESIS WORK

Graduate Research Assistant Aug ‘15 – Present

Title: Computational analysis and evaluation of vehicle occupant response and structural damage of a car onto a rigid pole according to FMVSS side impact regulation.

• Evaluated critical injury parameters of the occupant and vehicle structural damage according to pole test in FMVSS 214 side impact regulation. Tools used: Hypermesh, LS-Dyna.

• The pole test was simulated to report the critical dummy injury parameters and intrusion sustained by the vehicle in both the scenarios.

• Modified seat design to replace the current seat in a Toyota Yaris car.

• Seat was designed to provide the occupant with an average of 15 to 20 mm clearance from the struck door.

• The structural damage (intrusion) of the B-pillar for the pole tests was evaluated according to the IIHS side impact ratings.

• Determined intrusion and energy absorbing capacity of the door in accordance with the basic principles of crashworthiness.

• Determined effectiveness of the vehicle structure by testing the finite element model of Toyota Yaris car according to FMVSS 214, IIHS and side pole test. PROJECTS
