PROJECTS PROFILE:

Project Name : Road Builder Enhancement

Software : MSC ADAMS/Chassis, Python
Description:
This project is to provide a graphical interface to create/modify a road model from
scratch. By this users can create a road model by creating multiple segments and appending
them to one another. These segments in turn will be represented using predefined
formulations like Linear, Curvature, Transition Curve, etc or through user defined functions.
GUI is developed using QT and primary coding for calculations is done using Python.

Project Name : Quasi-Static Analysis
Software : MSC ADAMS/Car
Description:
Modeled the suspension and steering assembly in Adams/car and performed the
quasi-static analysis as per the test condition and correlated the results. Customization
is done on the software for easy inputting of the data and also for exporting the results.

Project Name : Full Vehicle Analysis

Software : MSC ADAMS/Car
Description:
Full vehicle model from of customer in Adams V11.0 was updated to
Adams2005r2 by appropriate changes to the model. Single Lane Change handling
analysis is performed and results were correlated with V11 results.

Project Name : Dynamic Analysis MPF unit track in Adams/Rail

Software : MSC ADAMS/Rail
Description:
The objective of this project is to obtain a virtual prototype of tie (MPF unit) build in
Adams/rail. MPF unit has Motor Unit and Lock Unit used for lane change. Dynamic
analysis was carried out by modifying the bushing parameters. The results obtained are
correlated to the test results. DOE is also performed on the prototype and dynamic
behavior is studied.

Project Name : Full Vehicle Modeling Ride Analysis

Software : MSC ADAMS
Description:
A commercial vehicle is modeled from scratch for analyzing ride behavior. Results
were correlated with test data and optimized the ride behavior of the vehicle.

Project Name : Hand Start Mechanism

Software : MSC ADAMS
Description:
Simulated handstart mechanism under Kinematic & Dynamic analysis conditions for
determining the force at all connections. Kinematic results were compared with the
classical calculation and the dynamic results were correlated with the test data.
Mechanism is studied and optimized for better results.

Project Name : Full Vehicle - Handling Analysis

Software : MSC ADAMS
Description:
Handling analyses is carried out on the full vehicle to evaluate its response under
different conditions. Some of the handling analyses performed is,
Step steer, Ramp steer, Fish hook steer, Braking In turn, Constant radius cornering,
ISO Lane change etc.,

Project Name : Simulation of Truck Trailer for determining Turn Circle

Radius
Software : Recurdyn
Description:
Steering wheels are steered to its maximum angle and performed a dynamic
simulation by giving a constant velocity to the truck. From the result the minimum turn-
radius required by the truck is determined.

Project Name : Dynamic Analysis of Traversing System
Software : Recurdyn
Description:
Multi-body dynamic simulation is performed on the Traversing system in the Ship.
Traversing system is designed to tow the helicopter from the landing grid to hangar in
the ship deck. The Dynamic effect on the traversing system is captured, by applying the
sea conditions to the ship.

Project Name : MSC Adams Customization

Software : MSC Adams
Description:
Adams/view was customized to a leading Indian vehicle manufacturer to their need.
Parameterized model of their vehicle is created and corresponding menus, dialog boxes
& specific analysis of their requirement is created. Basic plots for the simulations were
plotted automatically after analysis.

Project Name : Guide Vane Mechanism

Software : MSC ADAMS
Description:
The objective of this project is to apply joint clearance and to find the forces at each
joint. The Variable Guide vane mechanism (VGM) consists of multiple blades, which
does the function of controlling the air by closing/opening of blades (vanes). VGM has
three stages and each stage has multiple blades.

Project Name : DOE performed for evaluating suspension

Software : Recurdyn
Description :
In Recurdyn a suspension is modeled and analyzed for commercial vehicle. Dynamic
analysis is performed by varying the link length, stiffness, and other parameters of the
suspension.

Conducted Training in Adams/View to M/s Eicher Motors Limited.

EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION:

University of Madras, with First Class, 2003

H.S.C., from Don Bosco HSS, with First Class, 1999

S.S.L.C., from Vivekananda Vidyalaya with First Class, 1997
