Projects

DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF TENSION CLIP ANGLE FOR AIRFRAME STRUCTURE Winter 2013

Designed Tension clip angel from scratch which used to support Airframe structure.

Tension clip are used to transmit relatively light tension loads from clip to clip or another member.

Designed formed and extruded angle clip in Ansys for Linear and Nonlinear static structure analysis.

Generated fine Meshing to accurate results to compare results from Airframe Stress analysis and Sizing by Michael C. Y. NIU. Book.

Improved the results for more load capability with safety factor consideration.

DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF HYDRAULIC PUSH ARM IN AEROSPACE Summer 2014

Hydraulic Push arm is used on aircraft to move and actuate landing gear, flaps and brakes. In many larger aircraft they use for flight controls, spoilers, thrust reversers.

Designed Hydraulic push arm from given dimension. Designing safe, light weight and less costly component.

Assembled parts in Ansys to make sure load transfer capacity and frequency of displacement.

Applied Finite element method for static structure linear analysis.

DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF HEAT SINK Fall 2014

Heat sink is a heat transfer device that commonly used in computers and other electronic devices to extract heat generated in components such as microprocessors.

Designed Heat sink in Solidwork from physical model’s dimension. Analyzed heat flow from bottom of the sink to fin in Ansys Thermal.

Tried different fin design (rectangular, square, round) for efficient heat flow. Compared results with hand calculation, experimental calculation. Also designed the program in MATLAB to calculate nodal temperature at fin.
