RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Graduate Research Assistant (Clemson University) January 2014 – August 2015

Finite Element Analysis of the Effect of Acoustic Wavelength to Hierarchical Side Length and Facet Area for Elastic Scattering from Polygonal Rings and Geodesic Spheres.

Investigated the Steady State scattering of a planar acoustic wave (1-3000 Hz) from structures in infinite external acoustic domain (air).

Frequency Response Analysis compared for two dimensional polygons with a ring and for three dimensional geodesic spheres with spherical shell based on the non-dimensional frequency parameter (ka<55).

Simulated the interaction conditions by using the structure-fluid coupling using the various contact constraints and boundary conditions. (Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions )

The acoustic domain truncated by acoustic infinite elements (approximating Sommerfeld radiation condition), and the finite element model defined in ABAQUS.

MATLAB and SOLIDWORKS utilized for modelling Geodesic Spheres (both structural and acoustic domains) because of their complex geometry and imported to ABAQUS CAE for pre-processing.

Modal Analysis of the structures conducted prior to the Steady State Frequency Response Analysis to capture the resonance peaks in the scattering response and account for the effect of dynamic properties on response.

ABAQUS was used as the solver for the model definition on the Clemson University high performance computing resource (Palmetto Cluster).

Parameters SPL, STL and Directivity utilized for comparing the results of different case studies. MATLAB was utilized for post-processing results obtained from FEA simulations.

The comparison of geometries gives a ratio of wavelength to a local geometric parameter which can be used as a guide rule for design of acoustic scatterers.

JK TYRE & INDUSTRIES LTD., CHENNAI, INDIA

Mechanical Engineer July 2011- Dec 2012

Part of the Greenfield project team for erection and maintenance of the Budde Fördertechnik GmbH Conveyor system, MATTEUZZI SRL TRIMMER 3000 and TYRE INSPECTION MACHINE. Achieved stabilization by KAIZEN.

Responsible for maintenance of Bias and Radial Tyre curing press (L&T®, HF®, GRM® and MESNAC®), PCI, tyre painting machine for radial tyres and Material Handling Equipments. Data analysis using MTBF and MTTR.

Management of planned and preventive maintenance using the concept of TPM and FMEA.

Responsible for Spare Management and Raise Purchase Requisitions for spares in SAP.

FEA Analyst Jan 2013 – May 2013

Performing durability, stiffness and contact patch study of tire subjected to inflation pressure and footprint load by using the symmetric results transfer capability of ABAQUS.

Solving geometrical, material and boundary non-linearity and defining contact in ABAQUS.

Creating 2-D axisymmetric tire models pre-processed in HyperMesh, discretized with 2D axisymmetric elements.

PROJECTS / INTERNSHIPS

SAE–BAJA All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV (Team Project) March 2010 – Feb 2011

Objective was to design and construct an all-terrain vehicle which had to pass the acceleration, hill climbing, maneuverability, and endurance test. Obtained 27 position in all INDIA.

Responsible for the CAD model of the vehicle and Structural analysis (frontal impact, torsional and roll over tests) of the roll cage/chassis. Calculated the factor of safety and optimized the roll cage design accordingly.

Project Lead for the steering design team. A custom – made center take off steering fabricated to make sure the length of the tie rod is equal at both ends. Steering was designed according to the Ackermann steering mechanism. Performed experimental tests to set-up proper caster, camber and toe angles.

Provided with innovative ideas such as the impact energy diffuser and helmet/seat-belt sensors.

Intern at Heavy Axles Ltd., TATA MOTORS Jul 2009 – Aug 2009

Undertook project “Oil Leakage in Rear Axles” in heavy vehicles rear axles assembly line.

First the axles were tested using Leakage Testing Machine and then were checked physically. Various measures were suggested and applied in order to reduce the leakage.

Eradicated the drain plug leakage by suggesting the use of tapered plugs.

Graduate School Projects Aug 2013 – Aug 2015

Finite Element Analysis (Fall 2013). Implementation of 3-D isoparametric stress elements with linear shape functions for linear elasticity problems using MATLAB.

Advanced Finite Element Analysis (Spring 2014): Solving elasticity problems with geometrical non-linearity using MATLAB and ABAQUS. Weak form derived in Eulerian space (spatial description), which is converted into Lagrangian space (initial description) and then model discretized into finite elements. The non-linear equations then solved using Newton-Raphson method.

Modal Analysis (Summer 2014): Modal analysis of a sheet with a 6-sided polygonal unit cell using MATLAB. Shape of the polygon was controlled by adjacent side-lengths and the angle with the vertical.

Engineering Optimization (Fall 2014). Shape optimization of a bracket subjected to uniform transverse pressure with given variables and constraints using ABAQUS coupled to VisualDoc by executing the python script generated by ABAQUS (.jnl and .rpy files) into VisualDoc.

Inelastic Materials (Spring 2015) Implementation of the Drucker-Prager infinitesimal plasticity model with non-linear hardening by solving the non-linear equations by a global and a local Newton-Raphson using MATLAB.
