Design and Project Engineer Oct 2012 – Dec 2014

MS Krishnas Fittings Chennai, Tamil Nadu

• Engineered CAD drawings using drafting standards and geometric dimension & tolerancing (GD&T), 3d modelled them using SolidWorks, determined their manufacturing possibilities, carried out FMEA, PFD and developed production part approval process (PPAP) for them.

• Provided cost estimates for materials, equipment, and/or labor. Implemented Human factors and ergonomics

(HF&E) and foolproof techniques and increasing the quality of the product.

• Identified potential design improvements, developed design calculations and ensured designs to meet legal guidelines and safety requirements.

• Acquired a 10% increase in production under my

supervision and kept the factory running successfully over two years without any breakdowns.

Project Engineer Jul 2012 – Oct 2012

Pure Enviro Eng. Pvt. Ltd. Chennai, Tamil Nadu

• Planned Degassing, Deionization, Desalination,

Microfiltration processes and the plant layout for waste or sewage water treatment, Managed and monitored

each stage of project.

• Recommended modifications for design improvements and simplification in methods of water purification of industrial effluents and sewage, by determining

coagulants and microbes present, and controlling ppm level of output, using multilevel filtration, as per its usage and technical documentation.

ACHIEVEMENTS

• Achieved 50% increase in efficiency in the damping process by designing a manually operated indexing

fixture for cylinder head covers, based on Geneva

mechanism at Krishnas Fittings.

• Slashed a cost of 600,000 by careful analyzation and planning of components like micron filters, grid

separator, screeners, clarifiers, valves, clamps etc., while working in Pure Enviro.

PROJECTS

Design, Analysis and Fabrication of a Modular Staircase Climber

• This modular staircase climber is mainly designed for elderly and physically challenged people to carry heavy loads over staircase. It works on the principle of epicyclic gear train assembly with 3 planetary gears 3 idler gears and a main gear. This is an innovative helper bot, fusing mechanical technology with robotics, for the elderly and physically challenged, to help them carry heavy objects through the staircases.

• There are three hundred and ten components that are designed and fabricated using GD&T specification and Bill of Materials (BOM).

• It was selected as one of the best project by Tamil Nadu state council.

3D Metal Printing

• A revolutionary ergonomically friendly cutting-edge technique to see the imagination taking life.

• Based on the fused deposition modelling technique, the UR5 robotic arm with 6 rotating joints coupled with a controlled metal feeder, programmed by RoboDK, is used as a portable multi-utility 3D printer.

• Intricate metallic designs and composite products with varying density and strength can be made.

POKA YOKE Fixture for Filter Head

• Designed using SolidWorks/AutoCAD, fabricated a tool to check misalignment, center point distance, Metal Insert

• Position, Flatness and presence of Burr.

• This process reduced the inspection time drastically, thus increasing the yield from 600 to 1000 numbers per day.

• This fixture prevented the faulty components supplied to the customers and increased the company’s reputation. Design and Fabrication of a Strain Gauge Rosette for a Cantilever Beam

• A simple yet efficient device that calculates the elastic and compressive stress produced in a cantilever beam, from

• deflection caused in micro springs, with 4% greater accuracy than existing systems.

• Using the Samuel Hunter Christie’s wheat stone bridge circuit and replacing the two resistances with the known

• load, the deflection of the beam can be calculated.

• The minute difference in the weight can be calculated using the Kirchhoff's circuit laws.

Static Analysis of a Cricket Bat

• Using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to perform static structural analysis on the behavior and stress

distribution in a static object.

• The cricket bat was the study subject, as it has a complex contour. The stress and strain caused in the bat, caused due the impact of a load (ball) is determined using ANSYS.

• The deflection caused by the application of force determines the mechanical strength of the bat.

Indexing Fixture for Damper Process

• Incorporating a manually controlled indexing/Geneva mechanism into a fixture, for holding the cylinder head

• covers and to carry out operations in all sides without repetitive removal of the work piece, in the damper process.

• This fixture reduced the manpower by 50% and allowing them to work without much strain.

• This design is ergonomic and portable, making it suitable for working in any environment.

NSF MoS2/Graphene as Nano Lubricants in Engine Oil for Increased Engine Efficiency

• This is a research project and writing a NSF proposal about it. This research analyzes the properties of the lubricating oil when MoS2 and Graphene nano particles are introduced.

• The nano particles complement each other and give better lubricating properties.

• An increase in brake thermal efficiency and less wear and tear of the components can be observed.

Measurement Methods of Young’s Modulus for

Nanotubes, Nanorods and Nanowires

• This is a literature review project covering the measurement methods of elastic modulus of 1D nano

materials.

• This involves a study of different methods of

measurement and comparing their results and their

performance.

• To determine the actual tensile strength of a nano structure the direct and indirect methods of determining the young’s modulus, like TEM, Piezo Electric

Manipulator, AFM, SEM are discussed.
