PROJECTS

CAD Modeling Project

Utilized NX 8.5 to model and assemble the components of a pair of vice grips

Setup nodal mesh on individual parts and performed a FEM analysis on the pair of vice grips

Documented each step of the process and wrote a technical report on the process and how the simulation compared to real world application

Wind Tunnel Project

Designed, modeled, and built a wind tunnel for flow analysis

Performed a flow analysis in SolidWorks to be compared to the physical model

Utilized LabView VI with a pitot tube setup to collect data and compared it to the values obtained in the flow simulation

Ammunition Testing Project

Tested claims for expansion of several types of self-defense ammunition against sheets of 16-gauge steel

Used muzzle velocities provided by real world tests to calculate the forces and impact stress of the bullets to accurately predict which would penetrate the sheet of steel

Placed retrieved projectiles into a SEM to analyze where they began to fracture and expand if they worked successfully or to see why they failed if they did not expand
