PROJECT EXECUTED (Few projects undertaken are listed below)

-Fatigue analysis of blender blade (Tool- Hypermesh and Ansys)

Description – Aim is to determine the fatigue strength of the knob spring. The spring fails almost in 2500 cycles in fatigue test. The fatigue scenario is simulated for baseline design to compare with lab test. Five locators were used to support spring in knob. Number of locators were decreased from 5 to 3 and surface area of middle locator increased. The fatigue life of the spring is increased up to 18000 cycles. Morrow’s stress life theory used to predict the results.

-Coupled field analysis of Blender jar subjected to combine thermal and structural loads (Tool – Ansys Workbench)

Description- Objective is to determine the deflection of base of jar due to combined effect of temperature of water at 1000C and the weight of coupler and water for 10 minutes. The transient thermal analysis is carried out for period of 10 minutes. Results from transient thermal were map in structural analysis. The structural loads with gravity applied to jar.

- Topology Optimisation of Lower housing in stand mixer (Tool – Optistruct)

Description- Goal is to minimize weight of lower housing by using appropriate boundary conditions. The displacement and stress used as a constraint. The lower housing with some additional material considered as raw design. The Design space and nondesign space have been decided. The appropriate boundary conditions along with manufacturing constraints like draw directions and symmetry etc. are applied on the design space. Post processing is done in hyper view 12.0. Element density plots, deflection and stress are the output taken from optistuct.

-Ball impact of Rotary switch from 7 inches height (Tool- Hypermesh, LS-dyna )

Description- Aim is to determine strength of lever and different components of rotary switch used in stand mixer during ball impact. The steel ball of diameter 50.8 mm dropped from a height of 7 inches on rotary switch. The internal energy in the model reaches up to 1.02 Joules similar to test lab. The FEA results extracted at point where energy stabilization occurs.

-Knee test simulation on Castaño Oven (Tool- Hypermesh and Ansys )

Description- Aim is to determine strength of chasses and outer panels of the oven for knee test. The Product is mesh with shell mesh and connections are modelled with spot welds and screw connections. The chassis is inclined at 45 0

and load is applied against knee. Frictional contact is defined between chassis and knee. The deflection and stresses on the chassis are recorded and suggest design change for the panel to lower the deflection.

-Door sag simulation on oven (Tool- Hypermesh and Ansys)

-Oven rack deflection nonlinear analysis (Tool- Hypermesh and Ansys )

-Handle strength analysis of Oven (Tool- Hypermesh and Ansys)
