• Thesis Topic: Stiffness of strength of steel connections using Finite Element Analysis( On going)

FEA optimizes steel connections' integrity and performance by analysing stiffness and strength. It ensures stability by assessing deformation under load and evaluates load-bearing capacity to prevent failure. This process enhances designs, minimizes material use, and identifies issues pre-construction for cost-effective solutions. I have gained a deep knowledge of simulation and analysis in Ansys.

• Marble Machine Project:

In this Project we, A group of engineering students had to build a sustainable return feeder system of a massive marble machine. This machine dispenses a maximum of 8 marbles at the same time. Our aim was to build a system where all the dispensable marbles are collected, and the marbles will return to the initial place. We had to calculate the force, energy and torques while building the system. Using CAD, we finalize our return feeder design.

• Thermal Cup:

The given condition was making a thermal cup which successfully held 300ml liquid and not to lose 45% of its original temperature in a random day at Sydney. By using the knowledge of thermodynamics and heat mass, researched about the materials and built the design first. After approving, collect all the materials and successfully complete the product.

• Space Crane Gearbox

Design and build a working prototype of a gearbox that will be attached to a pulley to lift masses between 15-25kg. Used physical and mathematical knowledge to determine the required gear ratios, material of enough strength to withstand all the forces, moments, torques, etc. Ordered the gears and shafts online. Used CAD software, CNC cutting, and 3D printing to finally make the prototype Lifted the highest mass (24kg) among all the groups in the entire course
