Projects Undertaken

  • Capstone Project: Design and Analysis of a Micro-fluidic Gear Pump

Technology: SolidWorks, ANSYS, Rapid Prototyping (FDM 3D printing)

Details: Designed a gear pump for precise microfluidic discharge required in UAV engines for precise fuel discharge at varying altitudes and external environmental factors. Manufactured by FDM 3D printing technology.

  • Mini-project: A Solar Tracking System

Technology: SS fabrication, microcontroller programming basics

Details: To design and fabricate a tracking system for the solar panel, which would orient the panel according to the position of the sun, to maximize solar energy absorption throughout the day using a light detecting resistor as an input to a microcontroller to control the motors attached to rotate the panel.

  • Grad Project: Design and development of an All-Terrain vehicle (ATV)

Technology: SolidWorks, Chassis design, Suspension design, Steering mountings, Welding

Details: Designed the chassis and suspension of an All-terrain Vehicle (ATV) in less than 15 working days. It was designed in SolidWorks. The space-frame chassis and double wishbone suspensions were studied and then fabricated according to our custom designs. The vehicle was analyzed for front and side impacts in Solid Works and the entire vehicle was then tested for performance and efficiency under actual loads and stresses.

  • Grad Project: Experimental Body In White (BIW) frequency response for modal analysis

Technology: Modal analysis, Siemens Test Lab Modal Analysis hardware and software

Details: Ten tri-axial modal accelerometers and two shakers with Siemens Test Lab Modal Analysis hardware and software was used on the BIW, mounted on air supports to obtain a free-free boundary condition. FRFs were acquired and then analyzed to obtain and then plot the bending and torsion mode shapes.

  • Grad Project: Development of Body In White (BIW) structure for a specified vehicle design

Technology: Altair HyperMesh, MATLAB

Details: To develop an initial BIW lay-out topology structure which meets performance requirements for bending stiffness, torsion stiffness, front
