MNNIT, Prayagraj | Sr. Researcher (July 2018 – June 2023) Developed crash box structures for automotive applications, involving research, design, simulation, testing, and iterative improvement to ensure safety and regulatory compliance Infosys limited (January 2016 – June 2016) • Worked in the Software Engineering Focus Area, python code testing and development of FORTRAN code Ordnance Factory, Kanpur (June 2015-July 2015) • Worked with operating team of numerical coding of various CNC machines like GORATU, TACCHI. • Active member of a Tank manufacturing team involved with heavy duty manufacturing of barrel of T-90, Arjun. MAJOR PROJECTS Development of the FEA analysis of railway components. • Railway components are analyzed using Simcenter and floefd for high-speed locomotives and wagons. Models are prepared and investigated for various working conditions and their fatigue life cycle assessment. FEA analysis of the bar bush for automotive application. • Automotive component bar bush of steering drive system is investigated under the stiffness criteria prescribed by the vehicle ergonomics in Simcenter for different loading conditions. Crashworthy behaviour of composite tubes with different ply-drop/discontinuity configurations. • The objective of the project was to develop a tailored damage sensitive fiber reinforced composite tube that can be used as irreversible energy absorber. In this context, established composite tube making set-up, response studied experimentally and computationally under low velocity impact and quasi static compression. Analysis performed in Simcenter, LS-Dyna, Abaqus by using damage subroutine code developed in Visual studio and FORTRAN compiler used. SolidWorks and Hyper Mesh are used for geometry preparation. Data analysis has been performed in Origin lab. Also, DIC data is compared and reported. Study on Impact and Compression after Impact of composite laminate with ply drops • This project focusses on understanding the compressive response of the composite laminates with ply drop. In this end, several plain weave woven glass fabric epoxy composite test specimens with different ply drop geometry (inclined, V-shaped and inverted V-shaped) are investigated through simulation (Abaqus) and experimental to investigate the effect of initial damage on the compressive response of the laminate with ply drops. Design & Fabrication of filling process by the help of Geneva Mechanism. • The objective was to calibrate with indexing device which is used in conveyor belt. In order to eliminate conventional mechanism a sensor-based filling process operational device is developed.
