Experimental Studies
• Characterization of Compressive, Tensile, In-plane Shear and Inter-laminar Shear Properties of composite (E-Glass, Carbon epoxy) and metal (Al, MS) specimens under High Strain Rate Loading using Split Hopkins Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus
• Evaluation of Mechanical properties of FRP and metal specimens under static loads using Universal Testing Machine (UTM)
• Literature survey conducted based on similar studies and consolidated reports for possible International journal publications
Analytical Studies
• Predicted high strain rate behavior of composites under compressive loading and Studies on effect of radial constraints
• Analysis of Composite plate structure under quasi-static loading by using ANSYS (Classic) Software and compared it with experimental values by drop weight test
• Multi Scale modeling of woven fabric Composites for Elastic and Failure Analysis by using ANSYS (Workbench) as part of Master’s thesis and published in International Journal.
