RESEARCH PROJECTS

Non-Destructive Testing: Reconstruction of defects using Ultrasonic Phased Array Probe

(May 12 July 12) (Guide: Dr. N. N. Kishore, Professor, Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kanpur) Flaw detection was done using Omni Scan MX machine with a high precision Analysis of data taken on samples is done using tomoview 2.9R8 software Complex flaw reconstruction was done with a very high precision of a 1.5 mm dia circular hole An algorithm was developed and Programming was done on Matlab to generate the actual shape and size of the flaw in different types of material. Reduced the defect size in sample until the error in reconstruction of defect exceeds 1% Explored the possibilities of extension of this research to practical tasks like inspection and analysis of rail tracks, aeroplane components, heavy machine components, etc. (May 11 present)

Formula SAE IIT Kanpur

(Participating in FS 13 event, Italy: Organised by Associazione Tecnica dell'Automobile (ATA)) Designed a Rack and Pinion steering system for Formula racing car which lock to lock rotates at steering wheels and at wheels Optimization of steering arm length and steering arm angle was done to achieve 100 % Ackermann steering geometry Achieved the steering at the minimum radius of 2.8 metres Achieved the zero bump steer in geometry Load calculations and analysis was done of each component by using FEM tools in Solidworks software Designed double wishbone suspension system for the Formula racing car with very less migration of roll centre in lateral and vertical direction Load calculation and analysis of A-arms was done in Ansys Full working suspension system is analysed in Lotus software Vehicle dynamics analysis was done for optimum performance of car (May June 11)
