Projects

Cable Car System

  • Conducted comprehensive load analysis and distribution to ensure structural integrity, utilizing Rhino 3D for precise structural design. I implemented a variable speed component and identified appropriate batteries for optimal performance. Additionally, I gained hands-on experience with soldering and wood cutting to assemble and refine the physical model.

Engineering Calculations for Structural Integrity and Dynamics

  • Harnessed Python to execute a variety of engineering calculations. Stress calculations confirmed that structures could endure applied loads, while the factor of safety added a buffer for unforeseen loads, vital for the reliability of cranes and bridges. Flow rate computations facilitated the design of efficient water supply systems, and matrix operations were pivotal in solving structural forces and displacements. Differential equations were employed to model dynamic systems like mechanical vibrations and fluid dynamics.
