Vishal Shrivastava

Ambitious graduate with key skills in engineering, absolute curious and tenacious nature seeking an entry-level position to take up real engineering problems and work out for their innovative vital solutions. With this self-motivated attitude, I look forward to an opportunity where I could develop and implement my learning of analytical and technical skills.

· “Aerodynamic Sensitivity Analysis of the UH22 Formula Student Car.” (MSc Sem C) :

My passion for aerodynamics enabled me to pick up this stimulating project and learn as well apply relevant skills in it. The project basically was about studying aerodynamic behavior changes in UH22 formula student car with varying geometric orientations like roll, pitch, and yaw angles. Following to making changes in geometric orientations using CATIA V5, surfacing, meshing and post-processing was done on the model in STAR CCM+ which gave some very interesting results and helped in developing not only aerodynamics concepts stronger but also provided me courage to challenge and desire to be challenged, in order to expand my technical knowledge and skills.

· “FEA Analysis of F1 Car front wing.” (MSc Sem B)

It was a module project which helped in highlighting the importance of materials used in automotive applications. The main aim was the research and discovering five suitable materials that could be put to use for a F1 car front wing and perform a FEA analysis using CATIA V5. My drive to work with hunger assisted in adapting the challenge and finding creative solutions for the problem.

· “CFD Analysis of F1 Car front wing.” (MSc Sem A)

It was the first golden opportunity presented to us in the field of aerodynamics, where a CFD analysis was to be performed on a F1 car front wing using STAR CCM+. It helped in understanding the fundamentals of CFD and also its applications including interpreting trends in the flow and its complexity and relevant solutions. Overall, it helped me with an excellent understanding of engineering principles.

· “Development of Aramid fibre-based friction material for Automotive applications.” (B.Tech Sem 8)

The use of asbestos in friction material applications for automotive purpose was an excellent choice in early stages until the disadvantages of it were encountered. Some research into the materials aided in drawing conclusion that non-organic asbestos free material such as aramid fibre could be a better option in such application. A tribological inspection was done on five different samples containing varying % of aramid fibre by weight, which were manufactured by compression moulding technique. These samples were hence inspected for mechanical properties and their frictional and wear behaviour. Microstructure analysis was done to figure out basic reason for variation in properties. Since it was a team project, I had a good experience developing excellent communication skills and take up ownership to deliver innovative solutions.
