Manager

Escorts Agri Machinery Limited

I was handling a team of three well-qualified engineers.
Durability & Fatigue analysis: Linear stress, Non-linear stress, Dynamic stress & Fatigue Life Analysis.
Individual responsibility for CAE analysis of the New Escorts tractor series NETS project.
NVH analysis Modal, FRF, SWL, Transmission Loss analysis of muffler of tractor components.
Conduct technical reviews with the design team to improve the design of the tractor components.

Projects :
(1) Tractor full chassis structural analysis under service load condition.
(2) Tractor Hydraulic assembly: Establish the analysis procedure for hydraulic assembly for tractors.
(3) Roll Over Protection Test ROPS for tractor cabin analysis is carried out as per ISO to check the cabin structure penetration into deflection limiting volume. (4) Transmission loss calculation of tractor muffler using LMS Virtual Lab.
(5) Transient FRF analysis is carried out for tractor muffler, radiator assembly, LSV-407, and tractor mirror assembly based on measured data.
(6) Resolving the field failure issue of FARMTRAC 60 stay bar mounting bracket by optimizing the design using optistruct topology optimization which leads to, a highly improved design from a strength point of view and also savings of 4kg per tractor.
(7) Filed failure co-relation of the hydraulic body of tractor with close co-relation of CAE results and actual failure location.

Sr. Engineer

Tata Technologies Limited Deputed at Tata Motors, ERC

Durability analysis of commercial and defense vehicles.
Fatigue analysis of chassis, load body for commercial and defense vehicles.
Conduct technical reviews with the design team and participate in testing.

Projects :
(1) Accelerated durability test of Chassis & BIW of Defense Vehicles, commercial vehicles, passenger cars & tractors: to quantify the strength & life characteristics of ground vehicle components under service load conditions; bump, braking, cornering, kerb strike, etc.
(2) Body in white BIW, Load body of commercial and defense vehicles load structural analysis under service load, and Gravity load analysis.
(3) Wheel Hub and wheel disc non-linear analysis: Establish the analysis procedure for wheel hub for commercial vehicles.
(4) Buckling analysis of different components such as tie-rod, connecting rod, steering column, etc as per requirement.
(5) Sub-Modeling: Use of sub-model for LSV-407 mounting clit analysis which saves modeling and computational time for Abaqus solver.
(6) Panel thickness optimization SOL200 of 709 cab BIW by defining the targets for panel stiffness and selecting the panels for optimizations which lead to a weight saving of 20 kg of the cabin.
(7) Field Failure co-relation for chassis of SFC- 407 and provide the solution for failure.
(8) Thermal analysis of brake disc under fade test condition sequential heating and cooling.
