PUBLICATION

Comparative Study for Static Analysis of Connecting Rod for Different Materials April 2019

• The main objective of the paper is a comparative study of connecting rod for three materials i.e. for steel, titanium, and aluminium. It deals with static analysis of connecting rod and crosschecks failure by FEM. CERTIFICATION

Hybrid Automotive and Race Engine Dynamics July 2018

• Designed the chassis (roll cage) & wheel assembly of an ATV on SOLIDWORKS.

• Carried out surface modeling on SOLIDWORKS to design panels and car bodies. PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Static structural and fatigue analysis of crankshaft using ANSYS Oct 2019 – Dec 2019

• Designed the crankshaft on SOLIDWORKS and performed iterative meshing using ANSYS.

• Implemented static structural analysis to obtain total deformation and equivalent stresses.

• Performed fatigue analysis to calculate life using various tools like fatigue sensitivity, FOS.

• Performed geometry optimization which resulted in an overall weight reduction of 9.11%. FE Analysis of connecting rod of Toyota Yaris for cost and material optimization Dec 2018 - May 2019

• Modeled connecting rod on SOLIDWORKS and performed meshing in Hyper-mesh using OptiStruct.

• Performed static structural analysis for different loading conditions with three different materials.

• Calculated the areas of excess stress concentration and performed mesh refinement in Hyper-mesh.

• Calculated the life of the connecting rod and gained 6.9% weight reduction for the best of all the 3 materials.

Improvement in paper car manufacturing process using lean tools Feb 2020 – May 2020

• Constructed a Current State Map and calculated the production lead time and takt time.

• Prepared Standardized Work Combination Sheets for each work station.

• Implemented line balancing so that the cycle time is close to the expected takt time.

• Constructed a Future State Map where the improvement opportunities are mentioned using kaizen burst.

• Optimized the process further using various lean tools line bottleneck analysis, continuous flow, waste elimination, kanban, poka-yoke, value stream mapping, and 5S.

• Proposed improvements like complete automation of the processes, SMED, and prepared CAD models.

• The production lead time was reduced by 59.1% and process lead time was reduced by 65.7%. SKILLS
