Hello, I am ​Sobhagya Jain

Mechanical Engineer

Portfolio

For the main Design competition, I designed various components of car including the drivetrain assembly which increased car’s reliability from last year drastically using jigs to keep the chain in plane.

Earned a commendable 10th rank in a design event held in Formula Bharat

Formula SAE

I was the head of the complete FSAE car model ​for which I used SOLIDWORKS for crafting each ​component and assembly, crafting 3D-printed ​mounts for components and actuators.

Spearheaded the Design for Manufacturing (DFM) process for the ​Drive Train Assembly; designed a weight-reduced sprocket and real ​bulkhead using FEM, resulting in a 70% reduction, and strategically ​calculated an optimal drive ratio that vastly improved acceleration ​performance.

Completed he endurance event and earned a commendable 20th rank in a design event held in Lincoln NE

Contributed to manufacturing the chassis and vehicle integration.

Implemented targeted modifications to the lattice structure based on printer specifications, resulting in a 50% decrease in failure prints and a 15% improvement in overall printing speed.

Printed a 3D lattice structure to form architectural material with lattice and concrete.

Concrete Canoe

This is a project where I used 3D printed lattice to reinforce concrete and mold it into a canoe which was then set to participate in ASCE competition. This project innovates on using complex 3D lattice structures which also act as a mold for concrete hence reducing fabrication time of canoe.

Enhanced lattice topology through the implementation of ​diverse nTopology optimization, selecting 'Hexagonal ​Honeycomb,’ resulting in an impressive 10% augmentation ​in strength over the previous year and an impressive 30% ​reduction in overall weight.

Tested different lattices on Universal Tensile Testing ​Machine until failure and accordingly one was selected ​and the canoe was modeled in nTopology.

This was a capstone ​project where the ​university gave ​guidelines to design and ​develop a product. After ​an extensive market ​survey a problem with ​universities seating ​solution was identified. ​For the same, I led a ​cross-functional team in ​designing and producing ​ergonomic chairs, ​ensuring compliance ​with BIS standards; ​incorporating features ​that catered to left-​handed and right-​handed users, resulting ​in a 50% increase in ​customer satisfaction.

Developed ergonomic chair designs using SolidWorks and Ansys, tailoring to diverse body types of 50+ students; ensured optimal comfort and support, reducing reported back pain cases by 40% within the first semester

Executed a cost-effective approach, ensuring adherence to standardized guidelines for university adoption and enhanced future repairability; decreased annual maintenance expenses by 15% by performing stress analysis on chair structures, ensuring durability and safety

Wing Design and Analysis for a Solar-powered Fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle


In this project, a solar irradiance model was developed, and a UAV wing was designed in accordance with long haul flights.

I conducted an exhaustive literature review focusing on aerospace subjects, specifically emphasizing High-Altitude Long-Endurance (HALE) UAVs and conventional RC planes.

Led the conceptualization and execution of 3D wing ​designs and CFD flow analyses to optimize performance.

Did an in-depth airfoil design and rigorous analyses using Ansys Fluent and XLRF5 to enhance aerodynamic efficiency, resulting in 10% reduction in energy consumption and increased range for aircraft models, contributing to significant cost savings.

Topology Optimization

A bracket is optimized to save maximum weight in accordance to the manufacturing capabilities of 3D printer available.

Golf Plane corrector

Golf accessories to help you train was designed so that while swinging the plane of the driver is kept at an optimal angle. The device was 3D printed so that the angles can be adjusted with each person's height.
