Academic Projects

FULL VEHICLE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS (FMVSS 208/214) AUG 2015 - DEC 2015

Project Category: Analysis.

Software’s Used: Hypermesh, LS-PrePost, LS- Dyna

Goals Achieved: A pick-up truck and a car loaded with belted dummy and air-bag analyzed for FMVSS 208/214 crash conditions. The HIC and CSI numbers studied to observe severity of chest injuries and head injuries due to seatbelt and airbag during frontal crash condition. The position of the airbag optimized and the material properties of the seatbelt changed to reduce the severity of the crash and to secure the cabin occupants. Similar tests were conducted to test the vehicle for side impact using fixed and moving barriers and also for roof crush injuries. In the final stages of the project, composite materials were utilized to reduce severity of the crash. THERMAL ANALYSIS OF FLIP-CHIP MODEL USING ABAQUS MAR 2016

Project Category: Analysis.

Software’s Used: Hypermesh, Abaqus.

Goals Achieved: Effect of temperature variation on flip-chip studied using Abaqus. A temperature gradient from

-40 ̊C – 125 C̊ applied to analyze thermal stress on the flip-chip. Also, effect of improper sealing in the under-fill studied by removing under-fill material around the solder. FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF BRACKET MAR 2015 – APR 2015

Project Category: Analysis.

Software’s Used: Hypermesh, Optistruct.

Goals Achieved: An automobile part in the form of a bracket was analyzed to deduce Stress and displacement readings. The geometry was then optimized for reducing stresses and weight, keeping the other dimension’s constant in the second stage.

DESIGN OF 6 BAR COMPLIANT GRIPPER MECHANISM JAN 2014 – MAY 2014

Goals achieved: A seamless geometry for gripping small objects was effectively developed. This gripper has technically zero frictional losses and is hence much more effective than any other conventional gripper geometry. This geometry simply utilizes the elastic limit of a material and works on the principle of Hooke’s Law of Elasticity. The gripper geometry was developed iteratively using CATIA V5 and its design was optimized by carrying out Stress analysis using ANSYS 14.5. Future scope involves better experimentation and development of effective robotic end effectors.
