Topology Optimization & AM for
Suspension Components

Topology-optimized a double-wishbone A-arm and MacPherson strut steering knuckle for additive manufacturing, achieving 20–30% mass reduction. Validated with static structural FEA in ANSYS 2024 R2, selected Ti-6Al-4V via a material performance index, and prepared slicer-ready geometry for metal and polymer AM.

Wind Turbine Gearbox Stress Analysis Using Machine Learning

Developed an LSTM machine learning model to predict wind turbine power from SCADA data, reconstruct gearbox torque, and evaluate gear bending and contact stresses using AGMA methods.

Shell Eco-marathon Chassis Design and FEA Validation

Designed and analyzed a prototype Shell Eco-marathon chassis using CATIA and ANSYS, aligned with the design-validation approach used in published SEM chassis literature. The study focused on lightweight structural design, stress distribution, deformation behavior, and critical region identification during concept development.

Propeller Thrust — CFD Simulation & Experimental Validation

Designed a propeller thrust measurement test rig in SolidWorks and simulated static thrust using ANSYS Fluent at multiple RPMs. Contributed to manufacturing the stand, Arduino integration, and physical assembly. CFD results were validated against experimental thrust measurements, confirming the quadratic thrust-speed relationship.
