Akshay Soma

I am a structural dynamics enthusiast who is constantly exploring new scientific literature and methods to stay up to date with the latest advancements in the field.

As an NVH Test Engineer at RFA (onsite at John Deere), I am responsible for NVH validation for off-highway equipment. I have experience in operational and experimental Modal Analysis, ODS, dynamic stiffness and transmissibility measurement, isolation design and verification, sound quality, ride quality, jury testing, accelerated life testing, and transfer path analysis.

I completed my Master's in Mechanical Engineering at Michigan Tech with a focus in structural dynamics and NVH. During my time there, I worked as a Graduate Research Assistant (GRA), where I developed bi-stable metastructures with adaptable vibration attenuation properties in the mid-frequency range.

Skills and Experience

• Proficient in MATLAB, LMS Test.Lab, ANSYS.
• Skilled in using sensors and measurement devices, digital signal processing, and testing methodologies.
• Experienced in CAE, modeling and simulation, FEA, FEA-Test correlation, validation.
• Experienced with CAD tools such as Solidworks, CREO, Fusion 360 and willingness to learn and adapt different tools if required.
