Finite Element Analysis: Bracket Optimization

• Conducted a project to calculate the maximum y-displacement and stresses of a simple bracket using ANSYS software for Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
• Utilized quad and triangular mesh techniques to compare the accuracy of the results obtained through ANSYS with MATLAB and manual calculations.
• Generated ANSYS code considering appropriate degrees of freedom, forces, and boundary conditions to analyze the bracket's structural behavior.
• Calculated bending stresses and maximum y-displacement using ANSYS and recorded the results for comparison and design improvement.
• Performed a mesh sensitivity analysis to determine the impact of mesh type on accuracy, concluding that quad meshes provided more accurate results than triangular meshes.
• Compared the results with MATLAB calculations, demonstrating the accuracy and efficiency of using ANSYS software for structural analysis.

PID Controller Design

• Developed a PID controller design for a pendulum-cart system, employing control theory techniques to ensure system stability and performance.
• Utilized Root Locus plot theory to analyze the system's open-loop transfer function and determine the effect of varying controller gains on the system's poles and stability.
• Employed Nyquist plot theory to evaluate the system's frequency response and assess stability by analyzing the system's open-loop transfer function's encirclement of the critical point (-1, j0) in the complex plane.
• Documented the PID controller design process, experimental results, and any modifications made to the controller parameters for future reference and potential system improvements.
• Utilized Python to validate the controller design and evaluate system behavior under different operating conditions and disturbances.
