Produce drawings, models, and assemblies in accordance with industry standards and to fulfill customer’s requirements. Communicate with suppliers during the initial design process and provide inspection reports for First Articles. Perform variety of tests including, cantilever, tensile, torque, bending and complex loading. Used electro-mechanical test machines and hydraulic cylinders. Notable Projects:Aeolian Vibration test machine: Used to fatigue test new products and determine product life cycle. Allows laboratory testing for a natural phenomenon. Designed and built during Summer 2018 Research Report: Crimping of Ductile Iron Pole gains. Determined ideal theoretical crimping pressure which led to savings in time and resources. Honor’s project for Mechanics of Materials Fall 2019. Advisor: Dr. Ebrahim AsadiWildlife covers for tie top insulators: Unique design that automatically aligns cover with insulator. Dead End Arms: Used a combination of Castigliano’s theorem and testing data to produce a predictive model to extrapolate deflection and failure modes for different loading scenarios.
