Research Assistant

Responsibilities:

Analyzed the railroad bridge approach problem by building a full 3D finite element model of the rail system using ANSYS APDL, SAMS (MBS code), and MATLAB
Applied a successful solution by implementing concrete slab at the critical zone that improved the performance of the rail system, which successfully reduces the maintenance cost of the rails and improves the ride comfort
Achieved a faster performance of the model by coupling FEM and MBS in one framework that can save time, and facilitate creating more complicated FE models
Performed a thermal analysis for a heat conduction problem using APDL scripting for nano-scale work verification
Improved the stiffness performance of the bridge approach zone using the suggested solution, and the FE model verified the effectiveness of the solution
Implemented the thermal element to an in-house MATLAB FE code
Tested and implemented an MBS algorithm, built using FORTRAN, which implements C 3 continuity on beam elements.
This algorithm was successfully implemented in a commercial MBS code
Verified the experimental results of thermometry platforms by creating a full 3D thermal FE model
