Chassis Engineer @ Warwick Racing

  • Designing and approving the nosecone, aluminium flooring, tubular chassis structure and impact attenuator for the Warwick Formula student race car using Fusion 360 and AutoCAD. 

 

  • Liaising with technicians and team leader to use key machinery, specifically the waterjet, CNC milling machine, bandsaw and pillar drill to design these components

 

  • Creating reports and updates to the Bill of Materials (BOM) to comply to budget constraints while justifying the use of certain fixtures and materials.

 

  • Coordinating and Communicating updates on the chassis team’s progress to the Warwick racing team via powerpoint in-person presentations and using softwares such as Trello and Sharepoint to maintain organisation of progress.

Simulation and Software Experience

Ansys CFD and SpaceClaim:

  • Successfully conducting a  Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis simulation to design a rear diffuser to reduce the drag for a 2020 Bentley Continental GT, with the intention of increasing its fuel efficiency (MPG).

 

  • Using industry standard software, specifically Ansys CFD and Fusion 360 to 3D model the car and perform fluid flow simulations of varying parameters to acquire an optimal model redesign.

 

  • Liaising with my project supervisor to gain feedback and advice on how to use the CFD software, researching the varying CFD models and considerations such as fluid viscosity, temperature and velocity.

Fusion 360 and AutoCAD

  • Thorough experience designing through CAD on various projects such as the suspension system for a Formula Student car as well as creating a suitable design for a fishing radio-controlled (RC) bait boat. 

 

  • Modelling key components such as the rim, tyre tread, brake caliper, disc, upright, wishbones, CV joint and adapter and creating detailed sketches and renders to document the design process of the suspension system

 

  • Deciding which wheel bearings are most suitable for the suspension system by researching relied manufacturer data from suppliers such as SKF and Schaeffler and calculating radial and axial loads as well as dynamic and static load ratings for different bearing types.

Abaqus Finite Element Analysis (FEA):

  • Using Abaqus to optimise the shift fork design for a formula student race car with the primary intention of weight saving.

 

  • Understanding of key considerations for performing a Finite Element Analysis, specifically mesh convergence; stress distribution and deflection of the shift fork and setting minimum values; the natural frequency of the fork as well as static and dynamic validation.

 

  • Thoroughly understanding how to model and render different shift fork designs and preparing them for FEA simulation.

 

  • Performing a material analysis using Granta Edupack software to determine the optimal material for making the shift fork, considering both engineering and business perspectives in terms of cost and durability.

My Other Experiences:

Other Experience

Having had part-time work experience both in a biomedical research role as well as in the security industry has helped me to sharpen my face-to-face communication skills and real world problem solving.

Web and Media Design/Editing

Personal project experience in both media/web design as well as video editing to create immersive and meaningful content that is both engaging and a learning experience for me to explore the world of media and marketing.
