PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Student Intern at Defense Electronics Research Laboratory, Hyderabad, India. (12/2013 - 05/2014).

Design and Analysis of Spiral Helix Radome with Mounting Bracket

-A radome with mounting bracket is designed for helix spiral antenna using SolidWorks software, which will be mounted on aircrafts which is flying at 0.8 mach.

-The structural strength, natural frequency and mode shapes are to be determined using finite element software Abaqus V6.11.

-Static analysis is carried out by considering due to wind and self-weight. Modal analysis is carried out to find natural frequency and mode shapes.

Summer Intern at Lakshmi Tool Tech, Balanagar, Hyderabad, India. (06/2013 - 08/2013).

Manufacturing of Press Tools using Mould Bases

-Parts are designed using CATIAV5.

-Parametric modeling for regenerative shape designation.

-Bill of Materials (BOM) is developed, in which the information of all the raw materials, assemblies, sub-assemblies, parts and each needed to manufacture the end product are included along with the CAD drawings, datasheets and work instructions are sent to all work stations.

-DFMEA & PFMEA analysis is done to the final design, to know the causes of failures in part designing and various operations in its manufacturing.

GRADUATE COURSES AND TECHNICAL SKILLS:

Vehicle Ergonomics

Automobile: An Integrated System

Auto Assembly Systems

Application of FEM in Auto Structure Design

Stress and Strain Considerations in Design

Skilled in CATIA V5, Solid Works, PRO-E, HyperMesh.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

Driver package evaluation of a Mazda 3 2014 touring hatchback:

Package dimensions of the specified car is conducted and is compared with the existing SAE and FMVSS guidelines to inspect the ease of perspective driver comfort and necessary improvements in the dimensions are suggested.

Task analysis of entry and egress, opening of trunk and cargo compartment of Mazda 3 2014:

Task analysis is conducted on the above car and the issues with the opening of the trunk and cargo compartment are evaluated from the users belonging to different age groups and height. Suggestions are made on the data obtained from the subjects.

Field of View study, Vehicle lighting evaluation, Controls & display evaluation on Mazda 3:

The issues with the turn signal lamps, lighting under low beam and high beam are recognized by conducting experiments on a highway with poorly light conditions and the response time study on the instrument cluster is applied and corrections are made.

Occupant Packaging Design and Analysis – (Human Machine Interface Analysis HMI):

Occupant packaging is done by benchmarking the exterior and interior dimensions using SAE standards. Applying static anthropometric data for few interior dimensions by which HMI analysis is carried out.

Benchmarking, Quality Function Deployment(QFD) and Design specification of “Concept RC 2020” Vehicle:

A reference vehicle (2015 Subaru Legacy 3.6R) was selected for “Designing Concept RC 2020” and a benchmarking exercise was carried out. Pugh diagram is developed to compare target vehicle (Subaru Legacy 2020) with reference and competitor vehicles (Honda Accord and Toyota Avalon).

Vehicle systems analyses: Cascading requirements, interfaces and trade-offs of Subaru Legacy 2020:

To cascade design requirements of the system and develop vehicle level attributes and sub-attributes of the system and sub-system. Interface diagram and interface matrix are developed and there by suggesting major trade-offs.

Developing Business Plan Development, Technology Plan and Systems Engineering Management Plan(SEMP):

A business plan was developed for the Target vehicle identifying key customer needs and attributes, developing timing and gateways for the product development process. Costs and revenues are estimated and the graphs are plotted for life cycle costs. Preparing a systems engineering management plan and presenting it to all the required teams.

Analysis of Cantilever Beam:

Analysis was performed on a cantilever beam under three point bending, which took into consideration 1D, 2D, 3D solid elements. The analysis resulted in procuring the knowledge for the appropriate size and element type to be used which is important in any CAE work, using HyperMesh software.

Natural Frequency and Normal Mode Analysis:

Global modes of vibration is identified for the given Aluminum space frame and improving the first natural frequency by 1HZ using HyperMesh and OptiStruct.

Body and Frame Stiffness Analysis:

Bending and torsional stiffness analysis of a gibe space frame is carried out. Modifications are done by increasing the stiffness’s each at a time and also seen the effect of improvement of bending and torsional stiffness’s. Also, calculating the percentage change in weight due to modification.

Optimization of 2014 Honda Civic Disc Brakes using DFA and DFD Analysis:

Assembly and disassembly of the disc brake is carried out, in order to reduce the part count, cost and time involved in assembly and disassembly of the brake by better optimization of techniques.

HONORS & CERTIFICATIONS:

Awarded “UM-Dearborn Graduate Student Scholarship” for 2014 -16 academic year.

Professional certification in Auto Cad from ‘Advanced Training Institute’.

Certified in CATIA V5 from ‘CADD Institute’.

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:

Lead a team working for an orphan organization ‘SWARA’ calling for help.

Coordinator for an Auto expo “Srushti” held at Bharat Institute of Engineering and Technology.

Coordinator for organizing a national Symposium Acutuators-2k13 held at BIET.

Worked in a team oriented organization for “Street Cause BIET”.
