Stevens Institute of Technology – Hoboken, NJ

Analysis and Design of Composites, UAV Wing Design and Manufacturability Designed a composite wing for UAV, selecting the best fiber, matrix materials, for parabolic loads. Engineered a composite lamina using micromechanics having FOS 1.5, a minimum thickness of 0.05mm. Performed tensile, compression, shear and fracture testing on Instron and obtained lamina properties. Applied parabolic load on a wing in Solidworks Simulation and performed static, buckling, flutter analysis. Optimized FOS to 4.3 by achieving the lightest weight of 1.5kgs using Solidworks optimization analysis. Design for Manufacturability, Re-design of Vacuum cleaner Designed a Vacuum cleaner from concept to end product by implementing Quality Function Deployment. Improved Design efficiency up to 33% of 24% and reduced components by implying DFMA rules. Using DFA, reduced the manual and automated assembly cost up to $6.32 by maximizing part symmetry. Using DFM for injection molding, reduced part cost up to $0.93/part, reduced cycle time, molding cost. Using FMEA, identified failure modes, prioritize failures and recommended preventive maintenance. Advanced Product Development, OTIS gen2 elevator

Designed and improved System level reliability, maintainability and life-cycle cost models for OTIS gen 2 elevator. Calculated and improved system reliability up to 74% of 35%, implying MTTF to 2900 hours of operation. Developed and estimated preventative and corrective maintenance cost up to $68000 over time of 30000 hours. Significantly reduced Lifecycle cost up to $5000 with preventative maintenance over the span of 30000 hours. Applied FMEA to deduce risk elements and remedies provided to make a safe, optimum design.
