Performed FEA on a simple static structural problem in ANSYS, and statistically analyzed the main factors that affect computational times using Minitab such as Mesh Type, Mesh Quality, Solver Type, Load applied and Temperature. We utilized principles of Design and Analysis of Experiments (DOE) to conduct 2k full factorial and fractional factorial designs while also performing linear regression to verify the designs and Response Surface Design to plot contours and optimize the quantitative factors.
Statistical Analysis of factors affecting ANSYS computational time
Created analytical models to predict wildfire occurrence in the state of California, given location and weather data by coding in Python. Engineered features by collecting weather data such as Temperature (Mean, Max), Pressure (Mean, Max), Humidity, Wind Speed and direction using data from Weather Underground and Google APIs. Achieved recall score of 0.89(1 being best) using AdaBoosted Decision Trees after performing data science life cycle.
Wildfire Prediction using Meteorological Data
Designed I/O interface for PID controller using Arduino Uno microcontroller and implemented PID Control with Hardware-in-the-loop simulation in an Interrupt Service Routine.
Digital Implementation of PID Control on Arduino Microcontroller
A double eye leaf spring arrangement was modeled and analyzed for stresses in Ansys Workbench. We solved the problem for contact nonlinearity by ensuring sliding between individual leaves without separation. Further, we analyzed stress convergence with mesh refinement and achieved a validation of about 82% for Von-mises stress.
Static Structural Analysis of Leaf Spring
Simulated the process of extrusion for Aluminum billets and optimize the extrusion force in Cold Extrusion. We limited our research project to three factors: Friction between die and billet, Die Angle at which billet enters the die and Diameter Reduction Ratio. The optimum condition was validated with 89.3% accuracy. Utilized Taguchi L9 Orthogonal Array methodology of Design of Experiments to reduce the number of trials by 66.7%, thus saving almost 70% computational time.
