Leading Section Level Simplification Effort

Lead section level simplification effort, an organizational level initiative called

Faster, Smarter, Better
Identified problem/improvement areas, bucketed the ideas, assigned and worked
with individuals in completion of simplification efforts
Integrated with tools team in simplifying tools team efforts

Section level Quality and Compliance Focal

Working from last one year as quality and compliance focal.

Identified quality and Compliance improvements (Vouchering, On time completion
of online trainings, lack of structured internal review process, action item tracking)
based on logistics. Improved logistics based on continuous communication with the
team

Building of the Aircraft engine model and Publishing of design loads for Fan
blade out analysis

Tools

Contributed significantly in building entire aircraft engine using hyper mesh.

Modelled Nonlinear connections using NOLIN and NLRGAPs to capture the Rubs
during FBO event
Performed vigorous sanity checks using modal analysis and static analysis
Analysed Fan Blade Out event using Nastran transient analysis(Sol-109, Sol-129 &
Sol -108)
Published the Design loads to the structures team for Fan blade out event
: Nastran, Hypermesh, Hyperview, Excel

2D Preliminary design and dynamic analysis

Tools

Successfully built 2D Vista model of engine.

Evaluated critical speed of the engine using rotor dynamics principle
Redesigning rotors to achieve critical speeds with sufficient margin to operating
speeds.
Executed multiple DOEs to optimize bearing damper parameters for improving
engine performance for nominal unbalance
: VISTA (GE Internal Tool), Pez based internal tool for correlation

GEnx-1B intentional unbalance test correlation through Nastran analysis

Tools

Successfully executed test correlation for GEnx-1B Engine

Performed parametric studies & Nastran model correlation to match test data.
Performed DOE studies and used metamodel to optimize the model parameters to
match the test results
: Nastran, Hypermesh, internal tool as well as iSight for optimization

GEnx-2B Engine FBO Certification through Derivative Test Analysis

Used commonality between GEnx-1B and GEnx-2B to certify the GEnx-2B engine
through derivative test analysis which eliminated the FBO test saving money about
~10 million dollars
