PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
GOKEN AMERICA (JULY 2013 - PRESENT)
HONDA R&D AMERICA: VEHICLE PERFORMANCE-NVH- CAE ENGINEER
• Worked on design and analysis of automobile BIW using CATIA and HYPERMESH software. Evaluated design feasibility during the initial stages of vehicle development.
• Worked effectively in carrying out lab tests using LMS TESTLAB. Designed and manufactured jigs and fixtures for vehicle testing. Modeled production parts with CATIA, based on CAE analysis to improve vehicle performance by meeting the bending and torsion rigidity targets.
• Used LMS VIRTUAL LAB to perform changes in the white body of the vehicle, and analyze different loading conditions to find out the best design.
HONDA R&D AMERICA : POWER SPORTS VEHICLE DESIGN - Chassis Design:
• Worked in the development of product designs of tooling and mass production of Honda Power sports vehicle components using CATIA.
• Analyzed and determined specifications, evaluations, and applications of engineering options to produce models and drawings using primarily CATIA.
• Resolved design issues using Generative Structural Analysis workbench in CATIA. Responsible for vehicle frame design from initial levels until the drawing issue by constantly coordinating with the CAE group.
Urban Airspace Technologies - Summer 2012
Intern
Designed a state-of-the-art, remote-controlled floating signage display that is able to float in the air using an aerostat. Performed initial and final calculations and trade studies in order to design, develop and build this product. Using trial-and-error methods to determine and execute the best way to build this product. Used CATIA V5 software to design and render images of the product.
PROJECTS & PUBLICATIONS
Design of a 4 Seat, General Aviation, Electric Aircraft - MEA 2012 (BORDEAUX, FRANCE)
Designed a FAR 23 certifiable 4-seat general aviation electric aircraft with a maximum range of 800 Km. The aircraft is powered by an electric power system that comprises of a battery driven electric motor-propeller system. The aircraft has a takeoff weight of 1750 kg, and a cruise speed of 200 km/hr.
CAD Design & Analysis Projects – CATIA V5
Completed the following CAD design and analysis projects using CATIA V5 software:
• Harley Davidson wheel design
• Motorized can crusher – Design, Motion Analysis and Optimization
• Machine Gun – Design, Motion Analysis, FEA and Optimization
Analysis of Ballistic Impact on Composite Plates
Modelled a projectile and composite plate in HYPERMESH. Used Kevlar 29–epoxy and Kevlar 49–epoxy materials and used 2-d shell elements for modelling. The edges of the plate were fixed. AK-47 bullet was used as the projectile. The steel bullet was modelled with 2-d solid elements and input with a projectile velocity of 700 m/s. The stress/failure analysis was performed on the composite plate at five different ply orientation angles using the ABAQUS solver.
Analysis of Ribs and Spars of an Aircraft Wing
Ribs and spars of a two-seater general aviation aircraft were designed in CATIA and stress analysis was performed in MSC NASTRAN/PATRAN. The shape of t...
