Three open PhD positions about vibration energy harvesting at Virginia Tech

Dear Dr Lei,

My name is Baij Nath Singh, am currently working as research CAE engineer at Mechanical Engineering Department, of Indian Institute of Technology – Kanpur (IIT-K), India. At present i am working on “Vibration Analysis of composite rectangular plates under varying loads using Finite Element Methods(CAE) using ABAQUS” I have finished my M.Tech from BIT Sindri, Dhanbad India, 2013 with a Grade Point average of 8.18 (on a scale of 10). My M.Tech thesis works includes “Effect of clearance fit on composite single lap bolted joints” under the guidance of Ms Manisha M Banker Sr Scientist Advanced Composite Division,CSIR- NAl Bangalore India.

The target of the research was to analyze and study the effect and behavior of inducing clearance in single lap bolted joints using ABAQUS pertaining to the analysis of wing and fuselage joint structures. Failure mode prediction of bolted joint connect were also carried with FBD and CAE. It was just an initial approach to study the effect of clearance in aircraft bolted joint structures.

At present i am working on extension of my previous work, at IIT Kanpur on a project sponsored by Indian Defense(DRDO) on mode localization and vibration analysis of composite & isotropic plates using ABAQUS and experimental modal testing software module Modal test Consultant of Pulse 18.1.

I would like to pursueDoctoral研究计算力学领域的再保险lated to Dynamics and Vibration of structures of different materials and automotive structures. I am very much interested in exploring the physics behind the CAE/FEA, solid mechanics and Of the Areas you are working on, I found the following ones the most fascinating and related my area of interest.

1.Structual Mechanics of model/Solid Mechanics

2.Computational mechanics

3.FEA/CAD/CAE modeling and simulation

So, I wanted toinquirewhether you are planning to accept anyPhDstudents this fall and if yes, may I seek aDoctoralpositionunder your supervision?

I have attached herewith a short resume for your kind perusal.

Thank you.

Yours Sincerely,
