ACADEMIC PROJECTS

- Tolerance Allocation and Structural Analysis of a Modular Robotics Kit Mar 2017 – May 2017

Studied various Tolerancing Techniques and allocated Tolerances to different materials of Snappy XO, a modular robotics kit manufactured using Laser Cut parts.

Revised existing drawings and performed Finite Element Analysis on various parts of Snappy XO using Autodesk Inventor to estimate stress variations, deflections and wear prediction.

Investigated the use of alternative thermoplastics like PET for replacing clips made of Acetal Resin (Delrin).

- Joint Limit Avoidance and Motion Planning for a 6 DOF Redundant Manipulator. Apr 2017 - May 2017

Modelled a 6 DOF Redundant Manipulator in MATLAB and used Inverse Kinematics based Path Planning algorithm and Kinematic Optimization for Motion Planning of the Robotic Arm and its Joint Limit avoidance.

Determined poses and joint angles using pseudo-inverse method and discretized using Euler time step. Implemented the model on Baxter Robot Arm and results obtained were visualized in MATLAB.

- Finite Element Analysis of a Fracture Specimen using ABAQUS Apr 2017 – May 2017

Modelled a Fracture Specimen in ABAQUS and designed a mapped converging mesh for FEA at the crack tip.

Calculated Stress Intensity Factor and compared theoretical value with FEA value. Plotted curves comparing opening stress distribution and angular variation near crack tip. Predicted crack propagation and suggested improvements.

- Finite Element Analysis of Truss using MATLAB. Nov 2016 - Dec 2016

Performed Finite Element Analysis of 2-D Truss by discretization of the structure into 26 different nodes, creating a mesh and calculating various design parameters.

Used MATLAB code for calculations of nodal stresses and deformation plot and suggested design changes for increasing the strength of the truss and avoid failure under loading.

- Vibration & Modal Analysis of 3 DOF system problem using MATLAB. Nov 2016 - Dec 2016

Used Modal Analysis for analyzing a 3 DOF System for Vibration study. Calculated the natural frequencies of the system, plotted the different Mode Shapes using MATLAB. Suggested improved design for controlling vibrations.

-Effects of Varying Equivalence Ratio on SI Engine Performance Apr 2017 – May 2017

Conducted Experiment on CFR SI Engine and recorded data for Emissions, Power, Torque, Cylinder Pressures and Exhaust Temperatures. Indicated Parameters like efficiencies and work output were calculated/plot using MATLAB.
