FE Exam, April 2013

Experience:

Structural Analysis, 3D- Graphics Lead
Space Systems Senior Design, North Carolina State University
Fall 2012 - Spring 2013

1.Used Solidworks to create 3-D models of Mars UAV and all sub-systems including air cannon delivery system and ballistic shell.
2.Designed air cannon based on pre-determined flight characteristics and calculated internal forces present during launch so that structural analysis could be completed.
3. Used ANSYS to analyze the Mars UAV and ballistic shell during launch and shell separation at altitude.
4. Provided feedback to design teams on structural concerns so that proper materials could be used that would ensure the survivability of the aircraft during launch and separation from shell.
