Partial Biography:
Like every research aspirant in the first decade of the 21st century, Prof. S.K Panda got to do his Ph.D. from IIT Kharagpur. “Nonlinear Vibration Analysis of Thermally Post-Buckled Composite Shell Panels with and without Shape Memory Alloy Fibres”, the thesis is about reducing the destructive nature of materials when they face extreme environment changes. A phenomenon like buckling was sought to curb and the materials longevity was increased with the technique of fabrication by introducing foreign materials, in the process making enduring composites. Materials like SME can actuate minor changes as well as changes up to 10-degree C and are the materials of the future believes Prof. Panda. After completing his student life, he moved on to the teaching arena. He served as a professor in CV Raman College of Engineering and in KIIT University, an experience amounting to 4 years. Being a curious research mind, he did a project in KIIT University. The project was about “Numerical Analysis” which includes comparing the mechanical behaviour of materials like buckling, post-buckling, vibration and bending of functionally graded and lamented structures. The project was backed by AICT. The field of functionally graded materials is a less trodden one and from the practical point of view, scholars have worked only in layers. There is a lot of scope in this field as lacunae of composites such as de-bonding due to high temperatures and there is a huge part of the subject left uncovered.
