• Assessed the fatigue life of welds and brackets under dynamic shock G loading simulating pothole scenarios

• Interacted with customers during different stages of product development and provided recommendations based on the results obtained from design optimization and FEA simulations.

• Assisted product development team in design release and product launch for four different vehicle programs Project: Durability assessment of suspension assembly using nCode Designlife

• Collaborated with overseas simulation, product design, and validation engineering teams to develop component level simulation analysis plans to assess and predict failure risks for twin tube damper assembly

• Performed weld fatigue to evaluate joint strength of the weld area using nCode DesignLife

• Examined the correlation between fatigue life predictions from CAE and test data acquired through RLDA files

• Developed a fatigue assessment proficiency within the company, contributing to the acquisition of new business opportunities valued at more than $3.2 million.

Project: Modal analysis and strain analysis of printed circuit board (PCB) in electric parking braking system

• Performed modal analysis to evaluate the natural frequency of the PCB constrained at various pin locations

• Modified pin configuration to avoid preset frequency range defined by the product engineering team

• Examined the performance of the PCB when subjected to a 100 G shock load using Abaqus, to ensure that strains remained within the predefined customer thresholds Project: Modeling elastomer for brake pedal feel emulator

• Designed and evaluated brake pedal feel emulator system using Hypermesh

• Characterized elastomer properties to achieve customer defined force vs travel curve

• Eliminated prototype testing by running the setup for multiple elastomer materials hence saving prototype tooling costs
