2. Key Projects executed at VOLVO:
1. Super structure system to Wheel loader conceptualization and optimization:
Super structure is a load carrying member which is mounted over the rear chassis. Super structure supports
components like hydraulic tank, air cleaner, hoses and Diesel particulate filter. Super structure includes
vertical columns, cross beams and brackets to hold mounting components. It is a fabricated structure
manufactured by welding. A new super structure design is conceptualized and optimized for column
thickness and weld size. Effective notch method is used for evaluating the welds. Superstructure should
withstand the vibrations produced during the normal operation which is random in nature. PSD analysis is
performed. Concept design is developed on the scaled loads from the similar running machines. After proto
is built, loads are measured and concept design is verified and optimized. ANSYS workbench is used.
Sub structuring method (component mode synthesis) is used for FE model. This has reduced a total lead
time to complete the analysis. APDL macro was developed to integrate substructure method in ANSYS
Workbench.
2. Lifting unit to wheel loader concept design development
Lifting unit is for loading and unloading the materials operation which is the main function of the wheel
loader. Lifting unit is mounted over the front chassis. Lifting unit should be designed such a way that the
operator must be able to see through the lifting frame to see the bucket loading and unloading. Lifting unit
assembly includes bucket, lifting frame, bucket actuation links and attachment bracket. Static load cases
are decided upon the operation of the loading unit. Stress linearization and ideal plastic methods are
applied in the detailed static evaluation. Multi-axial fatigue evaluation is performed from the measure force
signal. Unit load cases are performed and combined with the force signal to obtain stress history. Rainflow
counting and Minors rule are applied to obtain the life. Lifting frame profile, welds and thickness are
optimized to save the cost. A new attachment bracket was developed. This attachment bracket is designed
to manufacture by fabrication which would save cost by 50%. Earlier attachment brackets were casted
structure. Design modifications are suggested based on the stress analysis.
Ansys workbench is used. APDL macro is developed to orient the lifting unit to different load cases which
resulted in man hour saving. Team size is 3.
3. Dumb body conceptualization to heavy hauler machine
Articulated haulers are for carrying material in rough terrain and road conditions like mining. Material
carrying container is called dumb body. A new dumb body is developed. Dumb body shape is round shape
which is a new concept whereas earlier shapes were trapezoidal shape. This new concept resulted in
carrying more volume of material for the same size of dumb body and less cost for manufacturing. Load
cases for evaluating dumb body is derived. Load cases are derived from when vehicle moves over bump,
when vehicle takes a turn, when vehicle is applied sudden brake and tipping. Boundary conditions and
loading methods are developed to simulate the dumb body behavior during those load cases. Material
inside the dumb body is simulated by hydrostatic pressure. .
Ansys workbench is used. Thickness and profile shapes are optimized to save material. Team size is 2.
4. New product development – compact excavator
A new tracked compact excavator is being developed. Major structural components are arm, boom, bucket,
upper frame, lower frame and blade. Super element for each component is created. Boom cylinder, arm
cylinder and bucket are modelled as beams. All the components are assembled. The bucket load for
different load case conditions are calculated from this super element model. Then, calculated loads are

3. applied on the model to evaluate the life of the component.. Component which is being analyzed is
modelled by solid elements and other components are kept as it is. Pins and frictional contacts are provided
to make the simulation close to the test. Welds and notches are modelled. Test is performed on proto
machine. Strains are measure on the critical locations. Both simulation data and test data are correlated.
Global team size 4.
Strength verification of lifting frame of wheel loader :
Strength of lifting frame has been verified by carrying out linear elastic analysis and ideal plastic analysis. A
number of static load cases have been analyzed. A fatigue analysis based on time signals has also been
carried out.
 Notches have been created at the weld location and FE model and contact pairs have been created in
workbench
 Linear contact elastic analysis is done for different load cases.
 Stress linearization is done in load cases where it fails to check enough plasticity is available to
distribute the forces to neighboring locations.
 Ideal plastic analysis is done where stress linearization is not giving enough information.
 Then time based fatigue analysis is carried out to check against fatigue requirement.
Strength verification of L90 steering lock to wheel loader:
Steering lock prevents the relative lateral movement between the front frame and rear frame at the time of
servicing and at time of transportation of machine. In this analysis the steering lock pin and steering lock pin
welds are analyzed. The criteria for static loading are decided on the basis of moment produced due to the
steering cylinders. Further the maximum loading condition in axial, transverse and oblique direction is
calculated for the given lug and pin material and obtained forces due to moment produced are compared. The
steering lock pin and steering lock pin welds are designed safe for the static loading and shakedown loading.
 Notches have been created at the weld location and FE model and contact pairs have been created in
workbench
 Linear contact elastic analysis has been done for tensile and compressive load of same magnitude.
 Ideal plastic analysis is carried out as the stress is beyond allowable in stress linearization
 Shakedown analysis (ratchetting) is to be evaluated for the locations which are undergoing local plastic
deformation. This is required to prove that after the plastic deformation, the material behaves as linear
material.

Key Projects executed at CADES:
Worked as consultant to Volvo India pvt limited from feb, 2010 to Mar 2012. .
1. Gas Turbine Compressor Disc Analysis (pilot project):
An effort has been made to study a 6 stage compressor disc assembly in terms of requirements on stress,
growth and over speed. The assessment has been done using a finite element analysis for the given
geometry, material, loads and boundary conditions for one flight cycle. The analysis is done for two cases,
one for a conforming stage 2 disc and one for a non-conforming disc for stage 2. The specific results
considered are stress (Maximum of von-Mises and Maximum Principal Stress) to qualify life, radial
displacement to quantify growth, average weighted mean radial and hoop stress to qualify performance
under over speed.
Challenging part was to identify the input gap and design criteria as it was a pilot project. There was also a
thermal mapping to be done on the FE model from the data given in the excel format. This was done by
using hypermesh.
2. Structural Analysis and Design Optimization of Nuclear reactor Outer vessel:
ITER is an international project to design and build an experimental fusion reactor based on Tokamac
concept. ITER India is responsible for contribution from India. CADES involved in the verification and
optimization of nuclear reactor outer vessel structure and reactor support column. Bots for mounting the
reactor support column on to the concrete is designed as per the civil code. Analysis was performed using
ANSYS software and Hypermesh. Column must withstand seismic load. Single point spectrum analysis was
performed for the seismic load. Team size 3.

M. Tech THESIS DESCRIPTION:
Title: Neuro fuzzy based Fault diagnosis system for robot Manipulator
Description: The robot manipulators are often sent to work in hazardous work environment where humans
difficult or impossible to work. Unexpected repairs in these places results in loss of time, money and causes
danger to the environment. Hence, a robust fault diagnosis system has been proposed based on hybrid of
neural network, an online approximate of the robot behavior, and fuzzy logic, a rule based knowledge base
system for decision making, to identify and isolate the fault in online. Simulation of this work has been done by
