Featured Projects
Consensus-based formation control of multi-agent systems with one or more disabled agents.
A numerical solution to the beam bending problem is pursued using Finite Difference approximations. A model is created to solve for the deflection of a cantilever beam and modified to solve for the deflection and stress within a Boeing 777 aircraft wing.
Finite Difference Approximations used to numerically solve for the temperature distribution in a representative section of composite laminate for wind turbine blades in freezing temperatures.
Collins Aerospace sponsored capstone design project showcase poster.
A study on transverse beam vibrations using Finite Element Analysis in MATLAB. Natural frequencies and mode shapes for a pinned-pinned and cantilever beam are identified under elastic boundary conditions.
Finite difference methods used to approximate mass and energy flow for a carbon dioxide scrubbing system. Studies performed on the concentration of scrubbing agent in exhaust gas vs amount of carbon dioxide removed.
Design of double dwell cam profiles for a gripper arm system using a self-created MATLAB App. Uses numerical methods and Sine Constant Cosine Acceleration (SCCA) curves to generate profiles for any given double dwell profile.
A survey on the effects of mistuned blade integrated disks. Intentional and unintentional events of mistuning investigated, in addition to corrective actions taken to extend service life of the part.
