Corporate training was a significant part of my career. Over 1300 h was devoted to training of engineers across multiple levels in various leading corporate organizations, some of which are seen in the pic above. Every year, a number of working professionals from organizations such as Altran and Applied Materials, etc., also received training on some of the topics listed further below.

And these are workshops I conducted on topics centered around structural vibration.

Altair Engineering is a global major in the CAE industry. My trainings, on the topics of NVH as well as Rotor Dynamics, were spread over 10 days each. Trainings were held for two batches in two years, at their campus in Bengaluru. Participants were mid- level engineers.

bfl (Boving Fouress Limited), is an industry major offering turnkey solutions in hydro- electric power. Their training was on the topic of Torsional Vibration, held over two days. Content covered basics of vibration theory with lumped- parameter models, to finite element case studies on shaft rotor dynamics.

SimMechanics is a toolbox in MATLAB that enables modelling and simulation of time- domain responses in dynamic systems. Bharat Electronics Limited, a Navaratna company under the Min. of Defence, Govt. of India, has many engineers working on development of radar and allied systems. My day- long training covered the various blocks of SimMechanics, as well as applications to various systems characterized by mix of high and low flexibilities.

Geometric PLM is a major service provider and developer of CAE products. My training, centered on MSC/ NASTRAN and its pre/ post- processor MSC/ PATRAN, was spread over three days. The content covered setting up, importing CAD models, meshing and solutions for statics, stability and dynamics problems. Participants were trained hands- on throughout on the latest versions.

GE India research is a major design center serving multiple areas of aerospace engineering, especially aircraft  turbines. My training on torsional vibration, was day- long, covering modal and frequency response of lumped- parameter rotor- shaft systems. MATLAB codes were demonstrated and shared to the participants, most of whom were mid- to senior level engineers.

Mahindra R&D is a state- of- the- art automotive research and design center at Mahindra Research Valley near Chennai, Tamil Nadu. My one- day training on design optimization covered the idea behind optimization, objectives and constraints and some demo solutions from past work. Participants were mid- level engineers.

NVH is a major design consideration in vehicle design. Mercedes Benz R&D, India (MBRDI) has many engineers working on testing, simulations and design for NVH. My training was delivered to multiple batches of engineers over 2 years, of which each session was day- long. Content covered fundamentals of NVH through MDOF lumped parameter models and demo finite element simulation results for acoustics and vibration.

GM R&D (India) (currently non- operational) was yet another organization to whom training was provided on NVH. That three days training was given to engineers from entry to mid- level.
