Homework Q1

I am a PhD student at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. I obtained MS in Engineering Mechanics from the University of Nebraska Lincoln, where my thesis was focused on numerical simulation of elastic wave propagation in polycrystalline material, and Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical from Pune University, India. At present I am working with Dr. Joseph A. Turner in the Ultrasonics and Vibration group. My research is primarily focused on the ultrasonic wave propagation in heterogeneous media using statistical approaches. My research has both theoretical/numerical and experimental aspects for materials characterization and nondestructive testing purposes.

I am also interested in material characterization using nano-indentation technique, and want to understand how the materials fracture at nano scale. I believe that this course will help me build a good foundation in Fracture mechanics to deal with this interesting problem.

 In the past I have taken several courses related to solid mechanics such as elasticity, continuum mechanics, viscoelasticity. My strength is that I have taken various courses related to solid mechanics, that will help me understand Fracture mechanics. My weakness is that I have no previous experience in plasticity. From this course I expect that I could do a course project to simulate fracture using finite element method.
