GRADUATE RESEARCH:
Project: DYNAMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS OF BOLTED JOINTS
In this project a pressure vessel with four bolts was dropped on the ground at some angle and the effect of impact on all the four bolts as of which bolt fails first and which one separates first was studied. The effect of impact is observed for three different finite element models and an appropriate modeling technique which is almost accurate and realistic for the analysis of large structures is developed.
The objective of this study is to develop computationally efficient and accurate finite element models for the study of dynamic impact effect on the bolts which can be used for a complex structure with large number of bolts.
Working on this project made me familiar with the design of bolted joints, errors or problems encountered during the design and analysis, applying preload on the bolted joints in ABAQUS Explicit etc.

BACHELORS RESEARCH:
Senior Project: “DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF SHAFT FOR INCLINED VIBRATING SCREEN”
The project deals with the design and analysis of shaft and rotor assembly of vibrating screen using FEA. Shaft and Rotor assembly is designed in PRO/Engineer modeling package. Using ANSYS meshing of the model is done and response of the model for the load applied is checked and the stresses obtained in the shaft are analyzed. In this project, vibrating screen shaft has been designed by using the standard design procedure. For the safe design, the values obtained from the present design were compared with the values and results of the analysis obtained from the ANSYS package.
