Mechanical Engineer by profession but Aeronautical Engineer by passion.

7.7 years total experience, with 3 years in airworthiness and certification of mechanical stores, 4.1 years in FEA of aircraft structures and 0.5 year in aeroelasticity and loads

Have vast experience in Hypermesh and Nastran. I am famaliar with following solvers in Nastran -

SOL 101, SOL 103, SOL 105, SOL 106, SOL 109, SOL 111, SOL 200, SOL 144

Currently into Aeroelasticity and loads

On my own i'm designing and manufacturing small scale UAVs and drones in my home, completely self taught. Part time pencil artist, expertise in realism drawing.

My life revolves around the following:

Aviation, Drones, Robotics, Music, Drawing, Fitness.

HYPERMESH, HYPERWORKS, NASTRAN, OPTISTRUCT, AUTOCADD, CATIA, ANSYS, SOLIDWORKS, EXCEL, FAR, MIL, DDPMAS, RTCA DO-160E, STRESS, FATIGUE, DDPUAV, UAV, COMPOSITE, DEFSTAN-970, TESTING, FLIGHTTRIALS, SYSTEM LEVEL TESTING, EMAP, AIRCRAFT LEVEL TESTING, LANDING GEAR, ROBOTICS, DRONES, MECHATRONICS, PATRAN

Experience

  • Project Engineer 1 (Mar, 2022Present) at Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO BANGLORE)
    Aeroelasticity and loads for 5th Generation Fighter Aircraft
  • Project Engineer (Apr, 2021Mar, 2022) at Product Development and Innovation Center - BEL
    Product Engineering, Automation, Robotics and Thermal Management
  • Project Assistant Level III (Feb, 2018Apr, 2021) at CSIR- National Aerospace Laboratories
    Led a team of 3 CAE and 3 CAD representatives towards building of Light Transport Aircraft fuselage FE model and performing size optimization forstrength and buckling criteria.

    The mode shape of Ventral Fin obtained from normal mode analysis (SOL103) matched with the results obtained from vibration test carried out when integrated onto the aircraft with less than 1% error. Which indicates theauthenticity of generated FE model.

    Very good strain co-relation was achieved b/w FE values and values obtained from instrumentation for static load cases (EGR). Less than 10% differences for Engine Nacelle (Primary load bearing member).

    NDT testing of aircraft structures.
  • Research Fellow (Feb, 2015Feb, 2018) at Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO BANGLORE)
    My responsibilities were to provide concurrent airworthiness support to Ab-Initio designed air born vehicles and indigenous development.

    Built a mathematical model to understand the working of g-switch andthe same was validated through lab testing with a difference of 0.8 'g' b/w estimated and experimental values.

    Design, Testing and Certification of Landing/Undercarriage system, as perMIL and FAR standard guidelines for indigenously developed 2.4 ton classUnmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).

Education

  • Mechanical Engineering (Jun, 2008Jun, 2012) from BMS College of Engineering, Basavanagudiscored 8.09 cgpa

Fee details

    1,0004,000/hour (US$11.9847.93/hour)

    If its just digital validation/working on digital models using softwares will go with minimum fee

    If one need to validate the results from software with theoritical hand calculations along with data from actual testing then i shall go with maximum fee
