Internships

Indian Railways, Hyderabad, INDIA Jan 2010–Mar 2010

Mechanical Engineering Intern

Involved in hands-on with the overhauling of a WDM2 locomotive as per the set guidelines

Tested, replaced the worn-out components of the locomotive and documented the same

HMT Bearings Ltd., Hyderabad, INDIA Sep 2009-Dec 2009

Mechanical Engineering Intern

Worked in the Research &Development (R&D) Department of the company

Performed Tribology and NVH tests on the bearings to ensure the usage of appropriate material and right amount of lubrication to achieve better quality and durability of the product

Graduate and Undergraduate Projects

I. Discrete Topology Optimization of Structures using smooth boundaries

Optimized the structures using Design Optimization techniques using MATLAB

Performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the structures to record stress and displacement numbers using SolidWorks and Ansys

Result: High stiffness of the structure is achieved by utilizing less material, directly reflecting the core value of lean production - doing more with less

II. Design and Analysis of a locomotive wheel and brake shoe

Designed wheel and brake shoe of a locomotive using CATIA V5

Performed thermal analysis of the assembly using Hypermesh and ABAQUS
