TPMS lattice structures are gaining attention for lightweight engineering and biomedical implants, but their complex geometry makes direct simulation computationally expensive for large assemblies. Engineers typically get around this using simplified boundary condition methods, but a simpler…

Characterized atomic-scale solute clustering and grain boundary segregation in high-strength 2000-series Al-Cu aerospace alloys using Atom Probe Tomography (APT). The project quantified phase compositions and spatial distributions via statistical and proxigram analyses while developing preparation…

Traditional UTM tensile testing relies on global displacement, failing to capture critical localized deformation mechanics like necking and yielding. This project applied full-field Digital Image Correlation (DIC) to capture optical surface strain and synchronized it with UTM force data for…

The rear swingarm of a Yamaha R1 motorcycle is a safety-critical component governing vehicle handling and suspension dynamics. This project applied AI-driven generative design and MCDM optimization to drastically reduce unsprung mass while preserving structural stiffness and safety under peak…

Anisotropic Kevlar 29 composites rely directly on ply orientation sequences to govern overall structural stiffness and load distribution. This project analyzed static deformation across seven distinct ply-angle sequences using ANSYS Composite PrepPost (ACP) to identify the optimal 5-ply laminate…

High-efficiency CIGS thin-film photovoltaics rely on precise microstructural growth and elemental distribution to optimize electronic performance and band gap tuning. This project evaluated grain morphology and elemental stoichiometry across Cu-poor CIGS films using SEM and EDX microanalysis to…
