Area of Interest

I am currently engaged in the study of the mechanical properties of knee joints, focusing on 3D computer-aided design (CAD) modelling. Specifically, I am exploring the mechanics of fracture and fatigue in human knee implants, as well as the mechanical behaviour of various materials. My research involves conducting linear and nonlinear finite element analysis to examine the failure of knee joint models under both static and dynamic loading conditions. Additionally, I am delving into advanced topics such as solid mechanics, the extended finite element method (XFEM), and advanced fracture mechanics. This work is being conducted at the Human Engineering Research Laboratory (HER Lab), where I am investigating the combined behaviour of bones, ligaments, cartilages, and hamstrings in both healthy and implanted human knee joints.

About me

Educational background: I have completed my M.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering with a specialization in Structures and Design from the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST-ISRO). Prior to that, I obtained my B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering from Mewar University.
