Hi, I’m SHIVAM

Research Scholar at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee working in Theoretical and Experimental Mechanics

I am working in the domains of theoretical and experimental aspects of composite materials. My research principally concentrates on damage characterization, constitutive modeling, and the mechanical response of fiber-reinforced laminated composites subjected to finite deformation regimes. My work integrates theoretical formulations, numerical simulations, and experimental methodologies to investigate nonlinear structural behavior and complex failure mechanisms in composite (multi-phase) systems. Through my research, I aspire to contribute toward robust large-strain frameworks for predictive damage analysis and mechanics-based modeling of composite materials.
