  Project Intern (R&D)

  Worked in R&D Centre in Series Support Team of Diesel Fuel Injection Pumps• Executed Root Cause Analysis of CB18 pump camshaft keyway failure on hypothesis that excessive clearance on the spline causes impact loads on the camshaft keyway.• Calculated impact forces on the keyway by theoretical means and experimental data available from BLM measurements.• Analyzed feasibility of cost reduction project to eliminate inspection at one point so that number of rejections and inspection cost of CB18 High Pressure Assembly may be reduced.
