Projects

• Off-Road Vehicle Chassis Structural & Modal Analysis
  Ansys Workbench, Finite Element Analysis, Grid Convergence Study

  Executed comprehensive FEA on a tubular spaceframe chassis across 4 critical load conditions: Front Impact (5G), Side Impact (5G), Rollover (5G), and Torsional Stiffness. Performed a Grid Convergence Study across 4 mesh densities to eliminate discretization error, achieving asymptotic convergence within 0.5% stress variation and correcting a 12% stress overestimation on the first, coarser mesh. Conducted Modal Analysis to calculate the first 6 natural frequencies, confirming zero resonance coupling with the engine operational frequency range (10–150 Hz).

• Quasi-Static Thermal & Non-Linear Structural Analysis
  Ansys Mechanical, Non-Linear Contact, Thermal Simulation

  Modeled high-velocity contact mechanics between a projectile driving band and barrel bore using non-linear static structural FEA and frictional contact formulations. Optimized geometry and material parameters, reducing peak localized surface temperature by 12%. Created a digital shadow and validated simulation results using a 3D printed PLA and PVC based physical model.

• RC Car Suspension Design Structural and Buckling Analysis
  Ansys Mechanical, Structural Analysis, Non-Linear Buckling Analysis

  Performed Eigenvalue and Non-Linear Buckling Analysis on control arms to predict critical failure loads. Predicted failure under Front Impact (5G), reiterated control arm design for 13% improved strength under static loading.

🏆 Achievements & awards

• CAD Rush Drone Frame Design Competition, NIT Agartala: 1st Runner up · 2026
