  • Dec 2021 - Dec 2022

  Designed and analysed coaxial helicopter rotor system, landing gear, transmission line, airframe, bolted joints, test rig structure components through classical hand calculation and FEA (static, non linear, modal, harmonic and explicit dynamics, Global-Local). Reduced mass of transmission components by ~20%. Reduced loads in landing gear attachments by 300% through load path manipulation. Developed spreadsheet based calculators for repetitive calculations and FE output manipulation. Show less

  1. Lead a group of 3 students for feasibility study of application of honeycomb and 3D-P in nano-satellite structure. 2. 20% reduction in weight was observed using normal honeycomb with a slight reduction in internal volume. 3. Performed analytical calculations and determined deflection and stress on the panels using Ms Excel. 4. Developed CAD model and performed static FEA and modal analysis of the structure using ANSYS. 1.
