Variational Asymptotic Method based modelling of Film-Fabric Laminates IISc Bangalore, India Summer Research Internship, Nonlinear Multifunctional Composites Analysis and Design (NMCAD) Lab Advisor: Prof. Dineshkumar Harursampath, IISc Bangalore May 2013- July 2013

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
