Recent Advances in Applied Mechanics : Proceedings of Virtual Seminar on Applied Mechanics

This book comprises the proceedings of the Virtual Seminar on Applied Mechanics 2021 organized by the Indian Society for Applied Mechanics. The contents of this volume focus on solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, biomechanics/biomedical engineering, materials science and design engineering. The authors are experienced practitioners and the chapters encompass up-to-date research in the field of applied mechanics. This book will appeal to researchers and scholars across the broad spectrum of engineering involving the application of mechanics in civil, mechanical, aerospace, automobile, bio-medical, material science, and more.

Dr. Tadepalli Phanirama Tezeswi is currently an Assistant Professor at National Institute of Technology (NIT) Warangal, India. He obtained B.Tech from Karnataka University, and M.S. and Ph.D. from University of Mississipi, USA. He has a background in structural engineering and mechanics. His areas of expertise include structural dynamics, nonlinear finite element analysis, composite materials, vibration testing, photo elastic testing, high strain rate SHPB testing, shock testing, multi-scale modeling, micro-mechanics and non-destructive evaluation. He works in the area of experimental characterization and analytical modeling of materials, and structure response to shock and high strain rate loading. He has publications in various journals, holds a US patent and has an EIT certification from Michigan. He is a reviewer for several international journals. He is a member of ASME, ASCE, ASC, APS, and Chi Epsilon Honor Society.

Dr. Vijayabaskar Narayanamurthy is a Scientist at ResearchCentre Imarat, Hyderabad, India. He obtained B.Tech. from Pondicherry University, M.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras and Ph.D. from University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University, U.K. His research interests include theoretical and computational impact mechanics, modeling of hybrid beams, plates and shells, flight structures–mechanisms–configurations, mechanics of fastenings and interfacial fracture mechanics. He has published his works in patents, journals and conferences. Presently, he is serving as Secretary of Indian Society for Applied Mechanics and reviewer for several international journals.
