EDUCATION:

University of Michigan, MI, USA January’19- Present

MSE in Mechanical Engineering: 3.37/4.00 GPA

Graduate course work: Vehicle Dynamics, Advanced engineering analysis, Powertrains and NVH, Acoustics and noise control, six sigma methodology, Vehicle thermal management.

Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering, India September‘14 – May ‘18

Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering : 3.70/4.00 GPA

MASTER’S PROJECTS:

Course Project: September’19- Present

The project is based on the modeling of a Formula SAE chassis according to the design and reliability criteria of the SAE specification.

Using ANSYS Workbench to perform static structural and normal mode analysis.

Static structural analysis analyzes and calculates the maximum deformation and shear stresses. Determining and evaluating mode shapes and natural frequencies.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

Performed Modal Analaysis on the steel frame:

Modal analysis is used to determine a structure’s vibration characteristics, i.e., natural frequencies and mode shapes.

Transmission loss of simple expansion muffler:

Muffler geometry and the air inside the muffler are modelled using CAD tool CATIAV5. Dynamic acoustic analysis is performed in ANSYS 19.2 on the muffler geometry to obtain the STL plots and these are compared with the analytical method.

Design Optimization & Simulation Project:

Executed the model-based system analysis of a Vehicle cooling model using MATLAB-SIMULINK by varying the parameters of the cooling system attained the results of coolant flow rate, Heat rejection from engine and exit temperature of the coolant.

Acoustics and Noise Control Labs: January’19 – April’19

Analyzed sound transmission loss (STL) of a three-way muffler with a resonator using WAVE software. Conducted STL. Analysis of a partition panel with different acoustical treatments using VA One 2017 software for inner dash and engine compartment of vehicle. Validated absorption properties of vehicle enclosure by calculating the reverberation time by using two microphones, loudspeaker and an impact device using LMS Test lab.
