2007 Class X (CBSE) D.A.V Public School, Ghaziabad

SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENTS

Secured All India Rank of 3659 in IIT JEE’10 which is about 98.74 percentile in approximately 0.6 million candidates (2010)

Won young Scientist Competition at school level (2007)

SUMMER INTERNSHIP – Field Gun Factory, MOD, Kanpur May’13-July’13

Reduce the Pulling Force on the Trigger of a .32 bore Revolver:

Performed experiments on a set of 20 revolvers to find the average trigger pulling force

Average load was 11 kgf which is 4 kgf more than the max. force limit and 8 kgf more than minimum force limit

Developed 3-D CAD model of the part of the revolver to be analysed for pulling force and simulated it

Studied the .32 bore cartridge for it’s threshold value of force to fire it

Designed and Simulated a new hexagonal spring for reducing the pulling force

Reduced the trigger pull force from 11 kgf to 5 kgf

Study of movement of T-72 Ordnance and suggest methods for better movement:

Studied all the manufacturing processes through which T-72 barrel needed to go

Studied the arrangement of the machines on the shop floor

Recorded and Documented the discrepancies between the standard and one that followed in the shop floor

Recommended methods to increase the overall time efficiency

Suggested new CNC type machines because the manual machines were taking approx. twice the time

B.TECH PROJECT: Scanning system for Thermo-graphic Imaging of Solar panels:

Designed a new mechanism and developed a theoretical design for it

Electrical equipments required like servo motors, sensors all their calculations were done

Developed all the CAD model using Autodesk Inventor were created for all parts

Each and every designed part was simulated in ANSYS for Stresses analysis

Code for running the servo motors from the sensors and Arduino circuit was written in C language

Tests were done for debugging the code and then it was working successfully

The camera plane was becoming parallel to the solar panel plane when the system was moved as required

KEY PROJECTS

Wind Load on Solar Panels Aug-Nov’13

Analyzed the effects of wind on Solar Panels in various conditions

Studied CFD (COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS) theory eg. R-S model, K-e Model

Learned the required ANSYS SIMULATION SOFTWARE within the limited time and used it appropriately

Engineered and Designed the 2-D and 3-D analysis model in ANSYS and simulated in Various conditions

Verified the results with various experiments and published papers

Finite Element Analysis Aug-Nov’13

Determined and traced the stress field in the whole plate at successive time intervals

Studied fundamental wave propagation equation in solids for the corresponding differential equation for the problem

Geometry defining, Meshing and Finite element Analysis all done in MATLAB

Code for the problem was written and ran in MATLAB and the results were obtained

Code for the problem was verified by solving the same problem in ABAQUS

Light Source for Pit Loom Weavers (Frugal Innovation Project) July 2013-Nov. 2013

Developed a new and innovative design for a low cost light source

Prepared CAD design of all the parts and assembled them in Solid works

Working model of the design was also prepared presented and tested successfully

Swarm Robotics: (Computer- Aided Engineering Design Project)

Used the concept of Swarm Robotics in Material Handling processes

Developed CAD models of the finalized designs using Solidworks

Simulated the robots for stress analysis by applying appropriate loads in ANSYS using Finite Element Analysis

Coded the robots for line following, lifting the loads and communication between them

Development of Stair Climbing Robot:

Developed a different and new design of the robot

Designed all the parts of the robot in Autodesk Inventor

Simulated the robot for stress analysis in Autodesk Simulation Mold flow

Developed project was judged as the best project among the class

Railroad HAND-CAR:
