rimal patel

* Hands-on laboratory work in experimentally creating high shear forces on lipid capsules through the application of acoustic waves. * Served as mechanical lead working with waves & vibrations, interfacing with biomedical engineers in the development of new cancer research tool. * Designed and constructed a Radiation Force Balance using the modeling software SolidWorks and 3-D Printing.

* Structural analyst predominately using NX Advanced Simulation and NASTRAN * Research and development for next generation missile defense contract. Iterate and size various design configurations to ascertain feasibility. Tasks include performing modal, static stress, and buckling analyses for interstage, payload adapter, and nose fairing. * Perform detailed stress analysis on satellite bus architecture for critical design review and testing. Analyses include thermally induced stress and static loading conditions. * Create detailed presentations and reports to communicate results and recommendations to integrated project teams, chief engineers, and management.

SELECTED PROJECT SENIOR PROJECT: FLIGHT VEHICLE DESIGN OF ROCKET AIRCRAFT *Awarded Most Outstanding Senior Design Project - Aerospace Engineering* * Team project involving the design, drafting, and analysis of a reusable rocket propelled aircraft to be used for the research and exploration of Mars * Coordinated information between team members and machinists on the shop floor by keeping data organized and consistent * Rendered the aircraft structure, propulsion system, and payload for CFD and FEA analysis using the 3-D modeling software SOLIDWORKS * Performed DAPCA cost analysis on aircraft construction and operating costs * Lead the drafting and construction of the aircraft mock-up by designing and creating detail drawings, utilizing GD&T, and organizing gantt charts for team members.
