Self-healing of indentation damage in Carbon Composites 

• Engineered epoxy and pentaerythritol tetrakis microcapsules with 7%, 14%, and 0% weight concentrations.
• Utilized hand lay-up technique to embed microcapsules into the epoxy matrix, creating composite specimens., Employed DSC, FTIR, and Laser Scattering Particle Size Distribution.,
• Conducted compression tests on virgin, damaged, and healed specimens, 7% Healed specimens a 90% restoration of compressive strength after healing., Demonstrated significant improvements in compressive strength post-healing, with healed specimens (7%) achieving an average strength of 218 MPa.

Fabrication of Laser Induced Graphene Supercapacitors 

• Used Kapton film to create Laser-Induced Graphene (LIG) through laser rastering for supercapacitor electrode fabrication.,
• The LIG electrodes were prepared using different laser settings and examined for structural properties., Employed Raman spectroscopy to analyze material composition and measure capacitance.,
• Found that 4-6 W of laser power is ideal for graphene production, and with excessive power, the graphene becomes more disordered., Results were assessed to determine the efficiency and energy storage capacity of the supercapacitors.

Bracket Design Optimization 

• Modeled two bracket designs (P1 and P2) using SolidWorks, incorporating precise dimensions, holes, and fillets for manufacturing and analysis., Performed FEA simulations for both designs, identifying critical stress areas.,
• Prepared the designs for CNC machining using Mastercam., Implemented design changes in P2, resulting in a 7.2% reduction in weight and better load-bearing performance.,
• Applied GD&T symbols to the drawings, ensuring tighter control over critical features and enhancing functionality for assembly.
