Spindle Analysis
In this project I analyzed static and dynamic failure of a drill press spindle undergoing worst-case loading. I used analytical and finite-element analyses to determine factors of safety corresponding to each failure mode. For static failure I considered the Rankine and Distortion-Energy theories. For fatigue…

TSVP Battery Pack Analysis
This was an open-ended project I worked on for my Thermal Fluid Systems II class. We were tasked to use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to analyze the fluid and heat transfer properties relevant to a flow of our choice. Do to our involvement in the…
