Design Intern

Cummins India Ltd
07.2014 - 05.2015
  • Project 1- Cylinder Head temperature gradient Optimization-
  • For upgrading any system most of companies follows iterative approach, which is time consuming and will gives improved result but may not optimum.
  • By using optimization tools which are based on DOE method will give optimum result.
  • Performed free shape Optimization on head for minimizing temperature gradient by applying constraints to shape perturbation.
  • Minimized temperature gradient will improve fatigue life of component.
  • Tools used- HyperMesh, HyperView, Optistruct, Ansys, Proe, and FeSafe.
  • Project 2- Optimization of Fan Bracket for mass reduction
  • Fan bracket of 60L Genset application with 14kg mass with objective to reduce mass.
  • Objective needs to be achieve by constraining displacement of fan bracket.
  • Conclusion- Mass reduction by 41% and maximized angular opening.
  • Tools used - HyperMesh, Optistruct.
