Umesh Shirke

As an MBD Engineer specializing in vehicle dynamics, I bring strong fundamentals, analytical proficiency, a passion for learning,

teamwork, and persistence. My focus is on optimizing multi-body dynamics simulations and enhancing vehicle performance within collaborative team environment in the automotive industry.

Vehicle Dynamics engineer at TATA MOTORS Offshore Development Centre for passenger vehicles (experience of 2.9 years).

Projects

Performing SLA simulations for component level load extraction.

• Tuning of suspension Performance by performing K&C simulations and metrics extraction.
• Simulating full vehicle handling steady state and transient state simulations in MSC

ADAMS with understanding of metrics and their interdependencies.

• Executed 4 POSTER RLDA in MSC ADAMS car using ACAR ride testrig.
• Performed force extraction for components from virtual RLDA for fatigue analysis.
• Worked on parking steering effort estimation from tire pressure and contact patch size.
• Conducted Hardpoint optimization (DOE) in MSC ADAMS Insight to achieve K&C metric targets such as TCD, Ackermann percentage, and Parking effort.
• Built 16 DOF model in MSC ADAMS view for damper tunning to achieve vehicle ride targets.
• Performed steering wobble, modal mapping, brake pull and torque steer simulations in MSC ADAMS Car.
• MSC ADAMS macro creation for metric extraction and automation.
• Experience in Model building in ADAMS car template builder and MSC ADAMS

View.

• Built a two-track vehicle model in Python to execute sensitivity analysis of suspension parameters in steady-state and transient handling.
• Offered solutions to suspension designers to enhance vehicle handling performance by adjusting suspension parameters.
• Optimized understeer budgeting process by improving the measurement of suspension characteristics, including compliance steer, roll steer, and aligning moment steer.
• Optimized process of Dimensional Variation Analysis for chassis brackets in

ADAMS Car to accurately monitor and control variations in suspension characteristics, while preserving the dimensions of machine-manufactured parts.

• Developed an Excel-based tool to adjust spring stiffness and anti-roll bar (ARB)

diameters to optimize ride frequencies and roll gradient of the vehicle
