Projects:
Gained experience in different types of Finite Element Analysis: Linear, Non-linear (material, geometry and
contact), Dynamic, Buckling, Fracture and Crash through the following projects:
Fracture Mechanics of Human Tibia: (Jan ‘13 – May ‘14)
• Compute fracture toughness and the mode of fracture of human tibia using XFEM and LEFM theory.
• Material type: Isotropic and Orthotropic.
• Static and dynamic loads are considered. Different crack orientations are also considered.
• Catia V5, Abaqus and HyperMesh are used for modelling and analysis.
Crash Simulation of a Super-mileage vehicle: (Jan ‘14 – Apr‘14)
• Study the stress distribution for 100% frontal impact of the whole body at 30 mph and for a concentrated load.
• Materials used: Carbon fibre & Aluminium.
• NX, HyperMesh and LS-DYNA are used for modelling and analysis.
A study of the geometrically exact non-linear buckling of structural member: (Sep ‘13 – May ‘14)
• Studying the buckling and post buckling behavior of a structural member using both analytical and FEM.
• Examining the supercritical and subcritical bifurcations at limit loads.
A Non-linear Analysis of Leaf Spring: (Nov ‘12 – Dec ‘12)
• Study the stress distribution at flat load and maximum deflection conditions.
• Stress distribution in the leaf spring, for a vehicle travelling over a speed bump, at different speeds is studied.
Statistical Process Control of an Industrial Process: (Nov ‘12 – Dec ‘12)
• Monitoring the process flow of a component fabrication using control charts.
• Moving range control chart is generated to evaluate the vendor and u-chart to evaluate the process performance.
