West Lafayette, Indiana, United States

Aero sub team memberManufactured aerodynamic components of the car using composites and industry techniquesParticipated in iterative design team to develop full car aerodynamic packageUtilized CFD and design metrics to develop aerodynamic components

Updated aerodynamic gas loads in legacy composite Patran models and post processed ply stress results to determine feasibility of hardware reuseReduced peak stress concentrations in hardware critical regions through iterative geometry changes using NX blend tools and ANSYS cut-boundary interpolationCreated and tested custom macros using APDL to decrease total time spent post processing results from composite ply by ply modelPost processed CT scans and component lab test results to identify any internal delamination within hardware and determine stiffness loss over part lifeInvestigated how changes in the fidelity of boundary conditions and load application points impact stress results within Ansys sub model
