Technical Skills
CAD & Machine Design
I used SolidWorks to develop CAD parts and assemblies, prepare dimensioned engineering drawings, and model designs for my machine-design projects. The work below also includes selected models completed through tutorial exercises.
Designing from SOLIDWORKS tutorials
View courseI followed the Udemy course Master SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD using real-world examples and made these models as part of the tutorials.
Pencil sharpener
Separate parts assembled into a pencil sharpener.
Phone and earphone assembly
Circuit board
A board layout with modeled electronic components.
Machine design projects
These projects were part of my machine design courses, ME 3117 and ME 3217 (coursework details).
Project 01
May 2024Bursting pressure test setup
The task was to redesign an existing hydrostatic test setup for 10 bar pressure and pipes up to 225 mm in diameter, using plain carbon steel. I sized the parts and modeled the assembly in SOLIDWORKS.
Choosing the screw diameter, plate thickness and handle dimensions required repeated changes to the calculations and CAD model.
- Pressure target
- 10 bar
- Maximum pipe diameter
- 225 mm
- Design factor
- 3.5
Project 02
January 2025Autorickshaw differential & foot brake
I calculated the gear parameters for a 4.2:1 differential and modeled the parts and assembly in SOLIDWORKS. The second part covered a foot brake, including the drum and shoe geometry and force calculations.
- Engine power
- 6.5 kW
- Gear pair
- 20 / 84 teeth
- Module
- 2.5 mm
Finite Element Analysis
PrePoMax
PrePoMax is an open-source finite element modeling tool and a pre- and postprocessor for the CalculiX solver.
Software website
Abaqus
Used Abaqus in a project to model layered structures under tensile and three-point bending loads, examining stress distribution and deformation across the different layers.
