Projects
Beam Design for Aircraft Wing
• Designed a prismatic beam for an aircraft wing spar made of 2014-T6 aluminum, considering structural and manufacturing constraints.
• Performed stress analysis simulation using Autodesk Inventor to ensure compliance with safety standards.
• Calculated the maximum internal shear force, bending moment, and von Mises stress to validate the design.
• Optimized the flange width along the length of the spar to achieve a uniform safety factor.
CAD-Driven Bridge Design Project
• Designed a truss bridge to span 50 meters, ensuring structural stability and load-bearing capacity using Creo.
• Performed finite element analysis (FEA) with COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate stress distribution and deformation under various load conditions.
• Optimized the bridge design to reduce material usage by 15% while maintaining safety standards.
• Produced detailed technical drawings and assembly guides for the construction of the bridge.
