PROJECTS
Design of a V twin engine assembly used in motorbikes” at lamar university
The main objective of the project was to design and manufacture a V twin engine assembly used in motorbikes for ease of manufacture and low manufacturing cost. The Parts that were improved for DFM analysis are the engine block and connecting rod. The parts that were designed for DFA are piston, piston rings, cylinder, cylinder head and valves.
Design and analysis of a Go kart chassis” at Lamar University
The main objective was to design a go kart which is safe and functional which is build on a rigid and torsion free chassis using the solidworks and meeting the requirements of the rules for the international championship tournaments and test its rigidity using the analysis software for the safety and feasibility of the design.
Ergonomic waste disposal” at Lamar university
This project introduced an idea to incorporate pneumatic lifting bag inside trash can and compare the physiological stress in lifting with and without pneumatic cushion. It solved the problem encountered due to bending and lifting postural action.
