Master’s Thesis, Dept. of Aerospace Engineering Fall 2010 – Spring 2014
WSU
Research Topic: Analytical Modification of the V-Notched Rail Shear Test Apparatus for Dynamic Testing
Objective - Increasing the frequencies of the test apparatus so that acceptable bandwidth of the measured signal is within the first natural frequency, primarily to improve the accuracy of the measured data by minimizing the effects of fixture vibrations
Structural modifications to the test fixture while evaluating results in the frequency domain
Analytical tools used – HyperMesh, HyperGraph/HyperView, LS-DYNA, CATIA V5
Concepts like Hourglassing, Element Formulation, Fast Fourier Transformation and Zero Padding were studied
Instructor/Teaching Assistant Aug 2008 – June 2009
Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, India
Conducted classes for under graduate students in the courses - Structures, Engineering Drawing
Organised laboratory sessions for under graduate students in the course - Engineering Workshop
Assistant Aerospace Engineer Jan 2008 – June 2008
InfoTech, Manikonda, India
Research Topic: Conceptual Design of an Aircraft & Modeling of the Wing Structure
Detailed study on the design and requirements of short haul passenger aircrafts
Based on the mission requirements, a twenty seated aircraft was chosen for the conceptual design
A sizing exercise was carried out to determine the size and weight of the aircraft and also to determine overall design parameters such as wing loading, aspect ratio, power required etc.
Using design parameters, the wing was designed in detail and modelled in CATIA V5
