EXPERIENCE

* Graduate Research Assistant, Johns Hopkins University

April 2012 - Present

. Developed a highly efficient multi-scale computational model for

composite damage that bridges the micro scale and macro scale failure

mechanisms in composites.

. The homogenization based continuum damage (HCDM) model was developed

by performing detailed analysis of the micromechanical model with

explicit representation of micro scale failure mechanisms. User

defined element (UEL) code in ABAQUS was developed to simulate fiber

matrix debonding in micromechanical model.

. HCDM model can simulate damage induced anisotropy, non-uniform rate of

degradation and non-proportional loading histories and is 120 times

faster than the micromechanical analysis.

. Implemented the model as a user material subroutine (UMAT) in ABAQUS

software suite to simulate a large, realistic scale composite

structure which was not possible before.

* Engineer, Modelling and Simulation Group, Eaton Corporation

July 2011 - April 2012

. Conducted stress analysis and fatigue life estimation of various

hydraulic and automobile components using ANSYS and FE Safe.

. Performed design modification of these components to improve the

fatigue life.

* Graduate Research Assistant, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur,

August 2009 - June 2011

. Research goal was to simulate kink band formation in unidirectional

fibrous Composites under axial compressive loading to understand the

associated fundamental micro- level failure events.

. Simulation results show good match with experiments for fiber

rotation, kink band width and the nature of composite failure.

. Micromechanical model is implemented in ABAQUS using user defined

subroutine (UMAT).

* System Software Engineer, IBM

December 2007 - April 2009

. Worked as Java developer and system integration tester. My primary

task was to ensure the end to end flow of the billing system.

. As a team we were able to release many programs and its updates

without any delay and error.
