The project here was on developing a model to predict the mode II crack growth using a variational asymptotic method with the aim of reducing computational time required for the analysis

My task here was to perform a work study of the manufacturing process of a pneumatic material transport system. Also a comparative study was performed to select the supplier for the raw materials used for production of the components of the system

In my role as the Teaching Assistant for the course 'Ethics & Engineering in Aerospace Engineering' I conduct weekly tutorials for students. Also assist them in writing essays and evaluating them

* As a structural engineer in the chassis department, my role is to work towards building a fully carbon fiber monocoque. The specific duties are: * Developing trade off strategies to select the suitable carbon fiber and core material of the sandwich structure * Designing the various panels of the monocoque as per requirements set by the rules concerning the bending stiffness, energy absorption and ultimate strength * Developing a MATLAB script for the optimization of the panels whilst interfacing with a FEA model built in ABAQUS to optimize for torsional rigidity. * Hands on work with the production team for the laminating of the monocoque.

* Certification course completed of the following software: * CATIA * ANSYS * Hypermesh

Thesis title: 'The importance of high-fidelity Aerodynamic load corrections on the Aeroelastic Tailoring of Composite Structures'. The broad objective of my thesis is in reducing the computational time of the analysis of the optimization of wing panels of the aircraft subjected to static and dynamic loads. The optimization is through tailoring of the composite structure by steering the fiber angles continuously instead of traditional straight fibers. Reduction of computational time is hoped to be achieved by using a multi-fidelity approach in determining the aerodynamic loads while performing the aeroelastic analysis.
