EDUCATION

University of North Carolina, Charlotte, NC, USA. December 2019 Master of science in Mechanical Engineering (GPA: 3.4/4) Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune, India. May 2016 Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering (GPA: 3.2/4) PROJECTS EXPERIENCE

Fibre optic strain gauge using pseudo random code interrogation: (Ansys Workbench LabVIEW)

• Aim of this project was to utilize the properties of fibre optic cable lasers and pseudo random code correlation to determine strain induced in a pressurized cylinder

• Designed the pressure vessel and assembled all the components including fibre optic cable, transceivers and myDAQ to make the setup lightweight, compact and organised.

• Performed FEA on the vessel and calculated strain induced in the pressure vessel using Solidworks 2018. Simulation results were verified by comparing strain values obtained from fibre optic cable

• Presented a paper at the International Wire Cable Symposium held in Charlotte, NC. Publication - http://www.iwcs.org/68696-iwcs-1.4566027/t002-1.4566479/f0012-1.4566573/7-2-1.4566587/7-2-1.4566588 Temperature distribution in a 2D plate using implicit and explicit methods: (MATLAB)

• Simulated temperature variation in a squared plate as per given initial conditions and boundary conditions

• Explicit simulation was done using FTCS method and Alternating Direction Implicit method was used to carry out implicit simulation

• Comparison was made between both methods considering time taken, computational data required and accuracy for both implicit and explicit method

Time domain simulation of SDOF spring, mass and damper system: (MATLAB)

• Simulated the vibratory response of a SDOF system when subjected to forced excitation.

• Euler integration approach was used to study the relation between excitation frequency and the steady state response of system, which was verified using FRF.

• Accuracy of the solution using Euler integration was determined based on the time step interval, by comparing it with FRF

One – Dimensional finite element analysis of a bar: (MATLAB)

• Developed MATLAB code for static, modal and dynamic analysis of a One-Dimensional Bar Element. Used Finite Element Method and MATLAB to calculate displacement and stress at each node of the 1-D bar element.

• Galerkin approximation method was used to convert governing equation from strong form to weak form and create mass matrix, stiffness matrix and force vector

• Analysis results for modal analysis were 100% accurate with exact results for the first 20 modes. Dynamic results were verified by observing change in displacement values while varying stress
