Projects

  • Molecular Dynamics Simulation of fracture in 2D MoS2

    - Present

     Modeled 2D hexagonal MoS2 layer with the help of lattice constants, base vectors and interatomic potential
     Performed Molecular Dynamic simulations to obtain the trajectories of each atom while applying cyclic loading
     Investigating the stress intensity at the crack tip and the life cycle of the material based on varying load criteria

  • Finite Element Analysis of 4D Printing

    -

     Developed a versatile program in Fortran to create a 3D printed geometry and discretize it into smaller elements
     Formulated a finite element algorithm incorporated with the biological growth formulation
     Analyzed the stress and displacement distributions using Tecplot under varying printing orientations
     Achieved a novel and generalized method to describe the shape changing process in 3D printing

  • Multiscale atomistic modeling of Fracture in Graphene

    -

     Modeled 2D hexagonal graphene layer with the help of lattice constants, base vectors and Tersoff potential
     Utilized the velocity verlet method to perform sequential multiscale modeling to obtain the elastic properties
     Utilized central difference method to concurrently solve the critical (MD method) and non-critical (FE method) regions
     Proved that crack propagation occurs naturally in MD and doesn’t need any fracture criteria

  • Tensile behavior of damaged Kevlar/Epoxy composites

    -

    Fabricated the Glass and Kevlar/Epoxy composites using the hand lay-up procedure with standard dimensions
     Investigated the tensile behavior of Kevlar/Epoxy and Glass/Epoxy composites with horizontal cracks on 100+ samples subjected to varying displacement rate loading
     Calculated and analyzed the energy absorption capacity of the two composites using OriginPro and MATLAB
