Research Statement

Prof. Roy Mahapatra’s earlier research work lead to advancement of fast computational technique such as spectral finite element framework for solving wave propagation problems in solid and its applications including sensing and control of structural dynamic response. His current research encompasses broadly the developments of applied mathematical-physics based methodology supported by experimental studies to solve complex problems arising in advanced materials design, novel sensors and integrated systems with multifunctional characteristics. Specific applied problems of interests include design of energy-efficient and intelligent materials and structures; aerospace vehicles, structures and missions dealing with extreme environment; life-cycle design of systems health monitoring and intervention concepts to solve emerging problems in the fields of aerospace, bio-engineering, energy and environment.
