By performing finite element analysis in ANSYS, the strength-to-weight ratio of a PMMA acrylic part was increased by 5 times in a 3-point tensile test whilst reducing its mass down by more than 90%.
Let’s build a GIANT 2 meter long remote controlled airplane modelled after one of the most popular airliners in the world – the Boeing 737-800! This is part 1 of the series where I go over the design and CAD modeling process of the airliner.
My 4th year Capstone team and I have researched and developed a safe open-source PRVC ventilator under the supervision of Prof. Behdinan and Dr. Mashari that adheres to MHRA standards using locally sourceable pneumatic components and logic controller for our client, Toronto General Hospital.
In a Design Optimization course, I designed a jig/fixture that assists in the fabrication of precisely located holes on a cone clutch utilizing GD&T controls, fits and allowances, and tolerance stack-up analysis. It was optimized to provide operator a straightforward method of loading parts and indexing.
A new top aero body mechanism was developed for the Blue Sky Solar Racing team that reduced the amount of torque required to open the roof by 94% and provides the driver the ability to open & close the roof whilst sitting down in the driver’s seat.
This is part 2 of the Building a Carbon Fiber RC Plane series where I walk you through the process of turning a digital design into reality by 3D printing moulds and performing carbon fiber wet layup.
A deep learning AI model was developed that can convert spoken words into readable text by leveraging Python, PyTorch, and NumPy. Over 250,000 samples of pre-recorded Mozilla audio were organized and pre-processed into spectrograms to use as training data for a convolutional and recurrent neural network.
In my 4th year Machine Design course, I was tasked on designing a robust shopping cart that can carry a payload of 100 kg and go up and down a curb at walking speed without any structural issues.
In a mechanical engineering design course, my team and I developed an original conceptual design of a kit-style 3D printer that can be used in a home or a small office setting.
Creating something from scratch has always fascinated me, but is a skill I felt I needed more development. So, I took part in two voluntary courses offered jointly by University of Toronto and George Brown College that is designed for students to receive hands-on training for metal machining.
Everyday items, such as drills and various mechanisms, were disassembled and recreated in SolidWorks.
