Vibration Engineering

Prof. Nitesh P. Yelve is presently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, India. He received his PhD from the Department of Aerospace Engineering of IIT Bombay. He also pursued the Postdoctoral Fellowship at the City University of Hong Kong. The areas of his research interest are structural health monitoring using ultrasonic guided waves and vibration methods, active vibration control, structural dynamics, and composite materials. He has presented 51 papers at national and international conferences in India and abroad, and published 32 papers in international journals. He is a Chartered Engineer and Certified Level II Vibration Analyst. He is a Fellow of The Institution of Engineers (India) and the Council of Vibration Specialists. He is also a Member of ASME and a Senior Member of IEEE and IIAV. Prof. Susmita Naskar is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Engineering & Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton. She worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Whiting School of Engineering of Johns Hopkins University in the collaboration of Army Research Lab, USA. She moved to the USA after completing her doctoral degree from the University of Aberdeen. Susmita's research interests and expertise broadly lie in the field of multi‑scale structural mechanics and multi‑physics analysis focusing on engineered materials and advanced composites involving the intersection of additive manufacturing, material characterization through computational design, and experiments in engineering. In addition, she is also working in advanced manufacturing techniques that are relevant to the fabrication of engineered materials like composites and metamaterial.
