I always believe in Growing Through a process than going through a process.

Student Research Assistant at the chair of

Institute of Mechanics and Fluid Dynamics,

TUBAF, Freiberg

• Analysis on the influence of corner crack in the 3D model using ABAQUS.
• Implementation of Python script to automate the analysis w.r.t the corner crack 3D model, with dimensions of the corner crack and the dimensions of the 3D model as a parameter.
• Implementation of a parameter optimisation algorithm for optimising the Thermo-Mechanical fatigue model’s material parameters.
• Sensitivity study for the Thermo-Mechanical fatigue model’s material parameters was implemented and documented (Numerical Simulation technique).
• Implementation of python algorithm to generate data for the curve w.r.t its boundary condition.
• Sensitivity study for the Boundary layer model’s material parameters was implemented and documented (Numerical Simulation technique).
• Implementation of User Defined Material model in

ABAQUS for Cohesive zone model using FORTRON.

• Worked on XFEM simulation, for analysing the arbitrary crack growth using Abaqus.
• Debugged the Developed Gainer’s Model in Python
