  Hindustan Aeronautics Limited

  Feb 2014 - Jun 2014

  Mechanical Engineering Intern

  The internship was based around the project "Dynamic Analysis of a Typical Passive Vibration Isolation System for a Conventional Helicopter"​. Our Team's primary responsibility was to find the analytical solution to an idealized model. A FEA analysis was done using Altair HyperWorks, MSC/Nastran and MSC/Patran. This internship gave me first hand experience of the iterative design process for an engineering project.Through our Finite Element model we certified the use of Liquid Inertia Vibration Elimination (LIVE) system to eliminate rotor induced vibration from reaching the fuselage of a helicopter.
