• Design of an Impacting Sled Machine (M.A.Sc. Side Project)

  • Sep 2015 - Sep 2017

  • Proposed solutions for a pneumatic, high-energy impact testing machine during team design reviews• Identified wheel support structure as limiting feature, solving the problem by applying linear motion bearings instead and modifying the frame rails on which the bearings slide

• Design of an Adaptive Cutting Device for Improved Crashworthiness (M.A.Sc.)

  • May 2015 - Aug 2017

  • Developed a circular cutting device capable of adaptively adjusting the blade quantity immediately prior to impacting and slicing through a thick aluminum extrusion to dissipate kinetic energy more effectively than conventional, passive structures used in crash safety• Designed 10 iterations of device, resolving potential problems with each new design configuration comprising of a large mechanical and electronic assembly using 3D modeling software CATIA V5• Produced drawings for all parts following drafting standards, including support fixture for device and jig which maintains extrusion elevated and self-centered• Prepared BOM and cost estimates of cutting device materials and stock parts• Provided technical support to (1) computer technologist during fabrication of electronic system and (2) machinists during manufacturing of mechanical parts• Developed a test setup to confirm the numerical simulation results of the cutter deployment, considering ease of manufacturing, ease of assembly, interchangeability, and instrumentation• Validated the cutter motion dynamics using laser displacement transducers and a high-speed camera to detect the rotating cutters with image tracking software• Validated the impact load of cutters with a load cell integrated in the experimental setup• Provided advisor with timely progress updates and recommendations in concise written documentation of results as well as in meetings and oral presentations• Handled new deliverables requested by advisor and adapted to change of M.A.Sc. project scope accordingly
