PROJECTS Stabilization of mass, momentum and energy conservation Sep 2013-Nov

equation for fluid flow 2013

A stabilization term is introduced into conservation equation based on

taylor series expansion and it is natural, intrinsic and second order

accurate. Higher order accuracy can be obtained but require more

computation. Solved a 1-D fluid flow problem using stabilized Finite

difference approach.

Propagation velocity of spherical detonation wave front Sep 2013-Nov

Detonations. 2013

Computing non-singular solution for spherical detonation wave front for

CJ detonation for non-uniform and uniform initial density throughout

medium. And critical size for direct spherical detonation.

Bi Directional Evolutionary Structural Optimization hard Jan 2013-Mar

kill approach with SIMP interpolation model 2013

Performed optimization for MBB beam with a single load and single

material .Topology optimization using this approach we can avoid

intermediate densities in optimized structure. And it further minimize

the compliance

Topology Optimization of Cantilever Beam using Level Set Jan 2013-Mar

method and topology derivative 2013

Level set is an implicit method where we define variable design domain.

Using Topology derivative with Level set helps in further nucleation in

design. Optimized design is free of intermediate densities. Number of

iterations required to solve is less compared to explicit interpolation

functions.

Constitutive modeling of a Visco-hyperelastic material Jan 2013-Mar

property and its Finite element Discretization 2013

Constitutive model is based on Zener scheme with hyper elastic and

Maxwell material in parallel. A numerical approach is implemented in

finite element method for 2-D beam made of Visco-hyperelastic material.

Element Free Glerkin (EFG) method for 1D beam analysis Sep 2012-Nov

2012

Developed MATLAB code for EFG method, and performed static analysis for

1D beam. Concluded that EFG method can perform static analysis and

therefore eventually reduce meshing time.

Heterogeneous solid optimization with SIMP interpolation Sep 2012- Dec

model using Hierarchical approach algorithm 2012

Using Hierarchical approach, at any point of time we are working with

single design variable and can add new material into any design without

need to perform whole optimization again.

Sweet spot of a cricket bat Jan 2010- May

2010

Performed implicit and explicit analysis to study vibration and inertial

behavior of cricket bat using Ansys and LsDyna. Analyzed results and

predicted best location of sweet spot
