Programming Language Basics of C++

Simulation/CAD Tools SolidWorks, MATLAB, AutoCAD, Inventor Platform Windows

Professional Tools MS Office (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) Projects

Crack length at failure of an Aircraft’s wing plate – Software used – MS Excel code

The project was aimed at finding the crack length of a centre cracked plate subjected to different loading conditions during the flight. The problem was dealt by finding Life of the plate by extrapolating Residual strength diagram and for this well-known PARIS and WHEELER equations were used

Radiation exchange and View factor of infinite parallel plates – Software used – SolidWorks and MATLAB

Used Simulation tool of the SolidWorks to examine the effect of Radiation emitted by heated plate on cold plate. Project also included calculating the View factor between these plates

Failure Mechanics Analysis of a Bicycle Suspension Fork – Service life of bike fork was predicted through various Fracture Mechanics analysis techniques viz. LEFM and EPFM (Linear Elastic and Elastic Plastic Fracture Mechanics)

Crack growth in TGO (Thermally Grown Oxides) –

Software used – MS Excel and MATLAB

The main objective of the project was to examine the dependence of thermal barrier coatings thickness on parameters like nature of stress, number of stress cycles, Stress Intensity factor, maximum temperature of the coating, etc. We were able to pinpoint the mechanisms behind failure of Aircraft turbine blades

Simplified Fuel Model -

Software used – MATLAB

A problem of heat transfer inside a fuel pin (Nuclear Rod) was studied and its numerical solution was presented. We were required to calculate the time available until the centre line temperature reached its melting point for designing and calibrating the reactor shutdown system

Development and Inspection of HMT Tractor Axial Shaft – A case study on development of Tractor axial shaft was undertaken. A new product development route was presented to minimize the manufacturing and handling cost incurred during various development phases viz. designing, manufacturing, quality control and inspection Work Experience
