 The results of the thermal structural analysis are used to evaluate global parameters such as stress,
deformation and temperature.

3. Low cycle fatigue analysis for cylinder head fire deck sub model with thermal and mechanical loadings.
To perform Thermo structural analysis of sub model fire deck for various engines.
The components included in the analysis are the cylinder head fire deck, valve seats, head gasket.
The analysis involves fatigue life estimation for fire deck sub model.
The results of the thermal structural analysis are used to evaluate global parameters such as stress,
deformation and temperature.

4. Pillar analysis of cylinder head bolts.

To perform pillar analysis of head blots of an engine.
The engine components included in the analysis are the cylinder head, valve seats, valve guides.
It is necessary to evaluate the bolt - pretension of head bolts so as to avoid the failure of blots and
disconnection between cylinder head and block.

5. Thermal cyclic analysis of cylinder head with extreme thermal conditions.

To perform thermal cyclic analysis of head, It is necessary to evaluate the equivalent plastic strain in the
connecting region between cylinder head and exhaust assembly to avoid the failures in that region.
The results of the thermal cyclic analysis are used to evaluate the equivalent plastic strain in the connecting
region between head and exhaust assembly.
Automated report for thermal cyclic analysis, using Meta post-python, automatic results loading, automatic
fringe bar settings, automatic sectioning, and automatic report savings has been done in Meta post - python.

6. Modal analysis of SED battery & Intake Manifold.

To perform modal analysis of SEd battery & intake Manifold.
The results of the modal analysis are used to evaluate the natural frequency of the individual components to
avoid the resonance condition.

7. A Cohesive zone modeling for Simulation of Blade Stiffened Composite Skin Specimens Separation under
Mode-I and Mode –II Loading.
FE Modeling and Simulation of Delamination growth for skin-stringer Composite specimen using 3D Cohesive
Element for Mode-I (DCB-Double Cantilever Beam), Mode-II (ENF-End Notched Flexure) and Mixed Mode using
Abaqus/Standard-6.10 and Matlab.
A geometrically linear static analysis was carried out and relevant outputs were extracted near the crack front.

8. Buckling and Post buckling of co-cured composite stiffened panel: fabrication, Testing and Numerical
Analysis.
FE Modeling for Composite stiffened Panel using 3d-Shell Elements (for Flat and curved stiffened panel),
Abaqus CAE-6.10.
Linear and Buckling Analysis was carried out by applying a load to predict the Reaction force and buckling load.
A Geometrically Nonlinear Static Analysis was carried out by applying a load higher than the critical buckling
load (Post buckling Analysis) to predict the maximum failure load during Post Buckling, Load v/s displacement
graph was plotted and the FE result was compared with test result.
