Vehicle Safety

• Occupant safety simulations for the new carline at Mercedes Benz R&D, Sindelfingen. • Analysis of dummy kinematics with Side-impact simulations for IIHS safety ratings. • Creating a partial model of Side-impact simulation and comparing the results with test and full vehicle simulation. • Software used: Ansa, LS-Dyna, Animator, Midas.

Worked on a research project in determining the failure of wood-based composite material in the forming process of the interior decorative parts in Automotive using FEM methods. Acquired a very good knowledge of different material models for composite, orthotropic materials used in LS-Dyna and failure models used for anisotropic materials. Software used: Ansa, LS-Dyna, LS-Opt, Animator, LS-Prepost.

Induction to the FEM software and PLM tools used in Daimler AG. Visiting suppliers to understand the manufacturing process of the decorative trim parts. Creation of an FE-Deck for the forming simulation of interior decorative trim part in ANSA.

Worked on determining the drag co-efficient of a porous cylinder in a laminar flow using the in-house CFD solver CIAO and Fortran 90 programming. Acquired a good knowledge on Fortran programming, Multi-phase flow problems and Pseudo Single-phase methods. Software used : CIAO In-house solver, Fortran 90 programming

Worked on determining the formability and damage of Aluminum and Steel alloys for gas detonation forming process using FEM methods. Acquired a good knowledge on different Material models for metals and LS-Dyna explicit solver for dynamic process. Software used: Hypermesh, Hyperworks, LS-Dyna.

Worked on creation of 2D drawings and 3D design modifications at part, assembly and installations levels for the customers Alstom. Acquired a good knowledge on rolling stock domain (Rail domain) Geometrical Dimensioning & Tolerances, Stacks, Design for Manufacturability and 3D FTA. Software used: Catia V5, Enovia VPM.
