VAM based modelling of Film-Fabric Laminates

Summer Research Internship, Nonlinear Multifunctional Composites Analysis and Design (NMCAD) Lab , IISc Bangalore, India
May 2013- July 2013
Advisor: Prof. Dineshkumar Harursampath, IISc Bangalore

• Developed asymptotically correct constitutive model of multi-layered film-fabric laminates with potential application in reliable design of High Altitude Airship envelopes
• Conducted independent research built upon two separate methodologies developed for hyperelastic shells and composite sandwich plates by former doctoral and masters students of lab
• Implemented the nonlinear 3-D hyperelastic shell formulation for 3 layers followed by dimensional reduction based on Variational Asymptotic Method, using MATHEMATICA
