My main areas of interest are M&M&Ms - Mechanics, Materials, and Mathematics. I am making an attempt to understand the mechanical behavior of materials with elegant mathematical tools such as the finite element method and computer graphics. I am concentrating on:
- Computational Mechanics Of Ceramic-Metal Structures
- Modeling Superplasticity In Fine-Grained Materials
Journal Papers
1. Stiffness reduction in composite
laminates with transverse matrix cracks
2. Thermomechanical response of
graded ceramic-metal plates
3. Pseudodynamic response
of graded ceramic-metal cylinders
4. Affine fractal interpolation
functions and wavelet-based finite elements
5. Mechanics of superplasticity. Part I: Continuum formulation
and finite element simulation - in preparation
6. On the mechanics of equal channel angular extrusion
- in preparation
