Knowledge of Crash regulations such as IIHS, RCAR, US-NCAP, FMVSS

Performed Frontal and rear impact crash tests using LS-dyna

Experience in Static side impact test.

Experience in Crash simulation and Post processing (Using hyper view & Hyper graph) of full vehicle considering various regulations to maintain the safety standards.

Knowledge of FE gate for creating Spot-weld, seam weld, adhesives.

Developed FEA models for all the assemblies of BIW (all segment cars including commercial vehicles), Full vehicle modelling and powertrain assembly components using Hypermesh Pre-processor according to the provided standard guideline (3D and 2D modelling).

Responsible for work execution, planning, organizing, improving the effectiveness and productivity of engineers through knowledge sharing.

Projects:

Frontal and Rear impact regulation analysis and results comparison for different designs of BIW

Side Door Strength FMVSS214 regulation analysis, improved performance of Impact Beam by 10.5% by cutting down mass and redesigning the shape
