Snow Measurements and Characterization for Traction Prediction (CenTiRe)
Performed a comprehensive literature review for testing methods to characterize snow and its material properties
Analyzing tire traction data to identify significant properties and find the relative sensitivity of snow and temperature properties on the tire traction coefficient of 14-inch SRTT
Investigation of the Effect of Tread Rubber Compounds on Tire Traction on Ice (Sumitomo Rubber Industries)
Conducted experimental tests to investigate tire traction on ice while analyzing the impact of the tread rubber compound
Parametrized the Magic Formula Tire Model for all tires using Genetic Algorithm to investigate effect of tread rubber compound, ambient temperature and aging on the MF coefficients
Conducted a study to highlight the pros and cons of in-house developed models for temperature rise and water film height estimation over classical models
Systematic Testing and Parameterization of Soft Soil for Vehicular Applications (ISTVS)
Collaborated as a member of a team to update the ISTVS standards for off-road mobility
Conducted tests to analyze tire performance on soft soil by variation in inflation pressure, initial soil compaction, tire normal load and the multi-pass effect
