PROJECTS
Crash analysis of a truck model according to FMVSS 208 standards – Frontal Impact
A full frontal impact crash test of a truck model on a finite wall incorporating airbags, dummy and seatbelt – studied the crash pulse characteristics, barrier and structural deformation force and check for intrusion
A 40 percent offset frontal impact of the truck on a car with a belted and unbelted dummy – studied the crash pulse characteristics, dummy reaction and intrusion characteristics
A 40 percent offset frontal impact of the truck on a deformable barrier – studied the crash pulse and the differences with the usage of a honeycomb structure for better absorption characteristics
Identified primary load bearing members and their significance in prevention of firewall intrusion and strengthening of S- rails
A full frontal impact crash simulation of crush rails and testing using composite materials Crash analysis of a truck model according to FMVSS 214 standards – Side Impact
Conducted Side impact of a truck with a rigid pole, finite wall and movable deformable barrier using 5th percentile SID – IIs dummy in the driver seat
Studied the effects of varying yield stress of the side structure components, structural deformation profiles, vehicle velocities and intrusions and dummy responses for 75 and 90 pole impacts
Identified key structural members affecting structural integrity and occupant protection including rocker panel, floor cross members, B – pillar and Roof rail
Evaluation of Fatigue Life of Solder balls in Flip-Chip packages
Effect of Manufacturing induced defects on the reliability of flip-chip package was studied by performing CAE Fatigue analysis on a 2D flip chip with different test conditions
Analyzed the effect of under fill material in completely and incompletely filled flip-chip packages to predict the fatigue life of solder balls
Utilized ABAQUS as a solver to perform strain based analysis Assembly of Multi-Plate Friction Clutch
Study of the assembly of multi-plate friction clutch using constraint based modelling using Siemens NX9
Performed the modelling and drafting of the assembly showing various parts and their exploded views to understand the working of the Multi-Plate Friction clutch
Evaluation of Stresses for a tooth implant
Compare the Von Misses stresses for a tooth implant with varying geometry and sizes
Studied the maximum stress conditions at which the implant would withstand load conditions without undergoing failure and thereby assess the strength of the implant
