Kolkata Area, India

• Studied the effect of carbon nano tubes on the performance metrics of automotive lead-acid batteries• Carried out extensive literature survey on the subject and performed various battery tests to prove improved charge acceptance, capacity, cycle life and reduced sulfation

Mumbai Area, India

• Performed tensile tests on Zr-2.5% Nb samples of various triaxialities (also different temperatures) and used FEM model to find the GTN parameters and match the load-displacement graphs closely. • Used metallography and fractography on fractured tensile test specimen and subsequently used image analysis software to obtain experimental parameters and validate the results. • Familiarized myself in the theoretical concepts of fracture mechanics, plasticity and finite element method;… Show more • Performed tensile tests on Zr-2.5% Nb samples of various triaxialities (also different temperatures) and used FEM model to find the GTN parameters and match the load-displacement graphs closely. • Used metallography and fractography on fractured tensile test specimen and subsequently used image analysis software to obtain experimental parameters and validate the results. • Familiarized myself in the theoretical concepts of fracture mechanics, plasticity and finite element method; performed fracture tests and impact tests and their subsequent analyses; learnt to write user subroutines in FEM softwares and simulate different modes of failure.
