TECHNICAL PROJECTS AND ACADEMIC PORTFOLIO

Design and Fabrication of Automatic Sand Filtering Machine

(Minor Project)

• Collaborated with a team of 4 students with a vision to build a portable sand filtering machine.

• Designed and built an unbalanced rotating shaft responsible for vibration generation and several machine elements like springs and bearings.

• Developed a design model using AutoCAD.

• Performed hands-on activities to develop the prototype of the model. Design and Fabrication of an Electric Wheelchair

(Major Project)

• Led the mechanical design team intending to create a mobility aid with a focus to make it more compact by introducing telescopic grid beams which help to reduce the height at different levels.

• Redesigned the wheelchair frame using SOLIDWORKS.

• Machined several components using the mill, lathe, and drill press, and performed Shielded Metal Arc Welding over the frame.

• Performed Static structural analysis over the newly designed frame using Ansys.

• Worked with Arduino Uno and PMDC motor controller. Computer – Aided Design

Siemens NX

• Led a team of 3 and designed a Mountain Bike consisting of 32 unique components and 8 subassemblies.

Applied Finite Element Analysis

LS – Dyna

• Generation of a structured refined mesh over a solid I – section beam.

• Implicit and Explicit Analysis for a double mass-spring system under a transient force.

• Mesh sensitivity study over a square plate with a hole to observe the solution’s convergence by validation of numerical results against theoretical ones.

• Axial crushing and bending analysis of multi–celled columns with an aim to determine the structure more resistant towards axial and lateral deformation.

• Cantilevered – deformation over a composite member consisting of 4140 HT Steel and AA7075- T7 Aluminum.

• Eigenvalue analysis for a structural member.

Finite Element Analysis of Composite Structures

Ansys Composite

• Simulation to investigate the influence of stacking sequence of the plies over a stiffened panel.

• Analysis over a wind turbine blade ensuring no failure of the composite part using the First ply Failure (FPF) approach by identification of feasible layup.

• Optimization of a helicopter driveshaft by changing the thickness of the plies to obtain a weight- efficient layup.

• A study of the change in deformation of each composite laminate with change in fiber orientation angle.

• Research Project on Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT). Computational Fluid Dynamics

OpenFOAM

• Generated a simulation model over a research paper “Time-resolved wake dynamics of finite wall- mounted circular cylinders submerged in a turbulent boundary layer.”

• Generation of computational meshes using CFD codes and monitoring the convergence of the simulation.

EXPERIENCE

Real Canadian Superstore November 2021 – Present

Grocery Clerk

• Used pallet jacks and hand trucks to move merchandise to the sales floor for stocking.

• Perform general stocking duties daily including storing and stocking products in/on pallets, shelves, and racks.

• Keep the work area clean, organized, and free of hazards (including backroom and shelves) and dispose of trash.
