Research / Projects:

M.Tech. Project :Design analysis and optimisation of steering knuckle using Design of experiments and Numerical methods.

A major issue in vehicle industry is the presence of variability in the physical properties and manufacturing processes. Deterministic approaches are unable to take into account these variabilities without leading to oversized structures. The necessity of assessing the robustness of a particular design requires a methodology based on durability and design optimization through probabilistic

models of design variables (DOE).

Technologies Used: FEA, DOE

Software’s Used: Solid Works, XL Stats, Midas NFX

B.E. Project : ‘Improvement in Performance of Centralized AC Plant’ .(Mazgaon Dock)
