Torque Characteristics of Magneto-rheological fluids
• Designed a coupler that uses MR fluids for transmission using CATIA and ANSYS.
• Machined using welding, lathe, drilling, milling and grinding machines.
• Developed magneto-rheological fluids of different composition.
• Presented a paper in AIM National Conference 2011.
Deep Cold Rolling tool
• Designed and fabricated a DCR tool which gives a smooth finish without material removal and increases the
life by reducing the residual stress on the components machined.
• Modelled the tool using CATIA, did FEA analysis on ANSYS and fabricated in the machine shop.
Dynamic Analysis of Segway
• Designed and modelled an Inverted Pendulum on Solid Works which served as the basis for Segway.
• Performed dynamic analysis of Segway.
• Lagrangian methods were used again as another approach for dynamic analysis of the Segway.
Snap-Through load analysis using ANSYS
• Linkage designed on ANSYS such that it snaps to another equilibrium position.
• Determined intermediate configurations using arc-length method.
Design of Robotic Manipulator
• Simulated kinematics of a robotic manipulator using Solid Works.
• Performed forward kinematic analysis using both geometry and transformation matrices (D-H Parameters).
• Performed inverse kinematic analysis using analytical method and inverse Jacobian method.
• Performed position analysis and velocity analysis as well.
