CLIENTS & PROJECTS

NASA / JPL :
• Juno Telecom Panel:
Generated FE model of multilayer panel and its attachments; random vibration analysis; thermal stress and expansion analysis; solid and flex waveguides structural integrity; bolts analysis; flexure analysis; suggested design modification to overcome excessive panel bow under thermal loads; modification got implemented after Tiger Team review.

• Soil Moisture Active-Passive (SMAP):
FE model for Radome and Radiometer Front End assembly; Structural configuration and mass reduction for Front End assembly; generated and analyzed several Radome attachment concepts; bond analysis.
• Advanced Mirror Design (AMD):
Analyzed and considerably simplified mirror support configuration; welded and bolted joints; local and assembly buckling.
• Gemini Planet Imager (GPI):
Stiffened Optical Bench by minimal but effective design changes to decrease optical pathlength disturbances under random vibrations.
• Mars Science Laboratory (MSL):
Fine and coarse mesh FE models for robotic arm drill and attached instruments; multiple flexure design for moving parts; structural analysis and configuration for operation loads; contact analysis; launch environments and thermal environments.
