Work experience

Volvo India Private Limited - Bangalore, India 02/2015-07/2015 Graduate Trainee

Created Assembly instructions to aid operators on the manufacturing floor

Optimized warehouse storage space to store higher volume of truck assembly parts (savings: $150,000 / month)

Redesigned Oil Stores layout using standard procedures such as “First in First-out” and 5s to improve the ease of accessibility of Oil barrels

Implemented lean manufacturing principles on shop floor assembly line and reduced shop floor congestion

Introduced and implemented just in time concept for parts at tuck cab assembly line

Simulation and Analysis of Shift Process for a 6-speed Front Wheel Drive Automatic Transmission

Developed dynamic model of a Ford’s 6 speed Front Wheel Automatic transmission powertrain and shift control simulation using MATLAB & SIMULINK.

Involved modelling of Torque converter, throttle response, and Transmission Controller Module considering one-way clutch and disc clutch as clutch variations.

Involved estimation of shift time, Torque hole parameters, and clutch torque curves of all the involved clutches for all the phases including Torque and Inertia phases of 1st to 2nd gear shift.

Involved deriving and using Specific state variable equations for transmission system and embedding it into transmission controller module

Modal Analysis of rear Disc Brake

The goal of Modal Analysis is to determine the natural mode shapes and frequencies of a rotor during free vibration the results which could be used to determine the modal parameters of the plate, i.e. resonant frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shape. In-turn helps to decide the best material to be used for rotor.

The geometry was designed on CATIA V5 software and modal analysis in ANSYS.

Experimental analysis was carried out with impact hammer method using an accelerometer and LMS SCADA software.

Fabrication of Solar Air Cooler

Implemented non-conventional solar energy to produce electricity, which was used to produce cooling effect.

Assembled different parts of the Solar Air cooler such as solar panel, battery, charge controller, inverter, blower, ceramic slabs and cooling pads.

Achieved comfort thermal conditions by decreasing temperature from 32 to 28 degree Celsius in 21 minutes with 28.1 CFM air flow to 2375 cubic feet room using this air cooler. PRASHANTH YELIYURU CHANDRASHEKARA
