PROJECTS
Project | 01
Project | Fiber Metal Laminates
​
The mechanical characteristics comparison of the fiber composite (FC) and fiber-metal composite (FMC) was investigated. Fiber-metal shell (FMS)/fiber metal laminate (FML) prepared from the bonded layers of carbon and glass fiber/epoxy with aluminum shells/ sheets and tested using experimental and finite element simulations. The study observes that the FMC increases the elastic strain capability which permits them to absorb more impact energy than FC.

Project | Design of Innovative Light-Weight Sandwich Composite Multirotor System
​
Multi-rotor system (MRS) designing and material selection methodology for a lightweight composite sandwich to increase endurance and payload was performed under this research. The study on material uses Ashby charts and finite element simulations. The balsa carbon fiber composite was selected and MRS was fabricated. A total of fifteen test flights indicated average endurance time of 31.2 minute and average payload of 275 grams of the designed MRS.

Project | Mechanical Behavior of Balsa - Carbon Composite under the influence of micro fillers in Matrix
​
This project aims to enhance mechanical properties of the sandwich composite by adding micro-fillers in epoxy resin. The project experimentally tested, balsa carbon composite with various micro fillers such as sand, wood floor, and ceramic. It was discovered that mechanical strength was improved with insignificant weight increment.
Project | 04
Project | C-130J Roll-On/Roll-Off University Design Challenge
​
A C-130 J aircraft compatible payload module was developed to aid disaster operations in India.
​
Conceptualized the design of an unmanned aerial vehicle and ground control station as a constituent of the payload in accordance with the Mission Concept Of Operations (CONOPS) for the disaster scenario.

Project | Sensor-Based Smart Agriculture: SENSAGRI (Collaboration with Indian Agricultural Research Institute)
​
​The project advances precision agriculture using hyperspectral sensors mounted on autonomous drones for Indian agricultural sector. Lightweight and high strength, quadrotor and fixed-wing UAVs were developed in the project span. A detailed characteristic study was performed on crops using developed UAVs.
