Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, (HAL) INDIA Jan 2013 – May 2013

Intern, Manufacturing Composite Division

Worked on Fiber Reinforced Composite (Carbon, Glass and Kevlar) mostly used in India’s Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas, to determine the mechanical properties of such laminates for better serving purposes by calculating their shear strength, tensile strength.

Worked with the team that carried out destructive testing (DT) and non-destructive testing (NDT), on fiber reinforced specimens.

ACADEMIC RESEARCH:

Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, TAMU-Kingsville Aug 2014 to Current

Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Simulation and EMG analysis of Shoulder Muscles for Archery Sport

The main purpose of the research was to analyze the muscle activity level and muscle forces generated during performance of archery

Used Anybody Tech software to perform the simulation of sport

Used Solid works to obtain interaction between human model in simulation and its environment like a bow in archery.

Validation of simulation tool was performed by EMG (electromyography) experimental setup

Non-linear Dynamic Response of Thorax to Impulsive Loading of CPR

Vibration mathematical model of spring and damper system was considered for thorax of the 95 percentile adult males.

The maximum deflection obtained from Mathematical Modelling and ANSYS for impulse loading of CPR is found closely related.

Design of a biomimetic butterfly- like structure

The purpose of the project was to design a biomimetic butterfly like structure using Solid Works

Fabricated a composite wing by the help of 3D printed wing mold using Object 3D printer.

FEA simulation was performed on the wing designed at differential pressure measured by micro electromechanical sensor of 1.35pa.

PLC controlled Swing Bridge

Worked with Allen –Bradley compact Logix PLC equipment to control the motion of Swing Bridge prototype at Simulation and Automation Lab, Texas A&M University- Kingsville.
