WORK EXPERIENCE
Engineering Intern - Vanderplaats R & D, Novi, MI May 2009 – December 2009
• ¬Designed & improved the crash worthiness (by 14%) of an automotive longitudinal member for a frontal crash analysis.
• Diagnosed, solved & simulated over a 100 engineering design optimization problems using Design Studio 11.0 and Genesis 10.1.
• Formulated and set up optimization problems for minimizing manufacturing costs, improving the design of a structure by reducing or increasing the mass, stiffness, stress, strain energy and other factors.
• Validated results of Non-Linear optimization (ESL) method using Genesis with third party finite element (F E) solver.
• Tested and verified the process integration of Genesis structural optimization software with (LS-Dyna) third party software.
• Established new parameters based on parametric studies performed on the integrated softwares, to reduce design cycle time & achieve feasible results.
• Recommended new parameters for better control over the design process and the final design solution.
• Collaborated closely and efficiently with the development team of six for Design Studio & Genesis structural optimization software.
• Performed user end testing to debug Design Studio & Genesis structural optimization software and make them robust.
• Ensured & practiced quality assurance of documentation by updating training manuals supporting new versions of Design Studio, GENESIS.
• Created new problems, training & support manuals to structurally optimize components involved in crash analysis using LS-Dyna & Genesis.
• New features of Design Studio, GENESIS and updated user manuals were released after the user end testing & documentation of version 11.0
Graduate Research Assistant - University at Buffalo, The State University of New York September 2008 – April 2009
• ¬Designed an exoskeleton system for upper limb.
• Created Exo Skeleton Components using Pro E 3D modeling software
• Performed Inverse Dynamic, Kinematic analysis & optimized motor torque using AnyBody musculoskeletal modeling & analysis software.
• Tuned the Exo Skeleton to include Assistive Mode (To help life heavy loads) and Rehabilitate mode (To help recover after injury)
• Integrated MATLAB and AnyBody using MATLAB scripts and MATLAB GUI features.
MASTERS DEGREE PROJECT - University at Buffalo, The State University of New York May 2009 – December 2009
• Performed Crash Analysis on Dodge Neon Lower Longitudinal Member using LS-Dyna Nonlinear Finite Element Solver.
• Performed Non Linear Dynamic Response Optimization (Equivalent Static Loads) on Dodge Neon Lower Longitudinal Member.
• Increased the internal energy of Dodge Neon Lower Longitudinal Member by 14% using Topography & Topometry optimization techniques.
• Optimized designs from the Topography Method were better than those from Topometry methods owing to greater manufacturing feasibility.
• Improved the overall crash worthiness of the Dodge Neon Lower Longitudinal Member while maintaining the original Mass of the structure.
