Experienced with interpreting engineering drawings and creating inspection methods and aesthetic specifications of Automotive Components & Shock Absorber components

Involved in six-sigma (cost reduction), statistical capability studies, continuous improvement and safety.

Gained experience in Product development & Improved quality of manufacturing product ENGINEERING PROJECTS:

1. Thermal Analysis and optimization of Disc Brake

Performed Design, assembly, 2D drafting and exploded view, rapid prototype modelling of Disc Brake Mechanical System. Also created BOM for the assembly in UG NX 11

Studied the motion simulation of Disc Brake and analyzed maximum force on disc

Performed meshing for the assembly and analyzed 3D, 2D contact for friction for simulation

Conducted thermal analysis on disc and CFD analysis on brake pads.

Optimized the efficiency of disc for long durability 2. Design and Analysis of 900 V-Bending by Press Brake Forming using NX UG and ABAQUS CAE

Designed parametric model using NX UG 11.0 and modelled the blank using solid elements (C3D8R) in ABAQUS CAE to find the best die and punch design. Also, used shell elements (S4R/SC8R) for the comparison. Re-iterated for different punch heights, punch strokes and different punch angles

Analyzed Stress-Strain, Displacement, Elastic-Plastic Deformation, Fatigue Life Cycle in ABAQUS.

Optimized design near severe deformation & critical stress areas to overcome spring back effect seen in V-bending

Optimized design near severe deformation & critical stress areas to overcome spring back effect seen in V-bending 3. Finite Element Analysis – stress performance of components

Analyzed a plane stairway truss for maximum tensile-compressive stresses and maximum displacements.

Computed to the truss loads in different members with “Method of Sections” in MOM

Analyzed a bracket for stress performance using RBE2-spider force application and creating mid-surfaces in Hyper mesh for performing the baseline analysis. Further, reduced its maximum stress by 10% by reinforcing the regions where stress concentration is high, by making the structural changes like increasing the fillet radius to 10mm and by placing the rib at those locations.

4. Crash analysis - Frontal crash test simulation – Component/Full-scale barrier impact Tests

Performed FRONTAL crush for full-frontal crash of a vehicle as per FMVSS standards

Converted the car to a convertible and simulated according to the requirement

Improved the vehicle body structures that incorporates progressive crush zones to absorb part of the crash kinetic energy, maintained vehicle integrity of the passenger compartment and simultaneously controlled the crash deceleration pulse, barrier force, structural deformation force to achieve the crashworthiness goals. 5. Design of injection molded automotive door handle using NX UG

Designed the automotive door handle considering the design aspects using surfacing options in CatiaV5

Added design features like ribs, lips and screw bosses to strengthen the design in the critical areas

Conducted draft analysis to verify if the design can be molded

Ensured that the product can be manufactured considering functional requirements, tooling, manufacturing, and plastic part feasibility
