Secondary Projects

Apart from the main Ph.D. works, I have involved myself in various other works of my colleagues and peers. These works are enlisted here. This page will be frequently updated.

Design of a Combined load compression fixture for compression test of composites (ASTM D6641)

Work for IPPM Group.

Cure Kinetics Study of E-glass fiber Prepregs

Work by- Monjur Morshed Rabby

use of Dielectric spectroscopy to Monitor Stiffness Degradation in composites

Work by- Dr Muthu Ram Prabhu Elenchezhian

In this work, a dielectric characterization methodology for in-situ monitoring of composites under fatigue environments is proposed. A novel method of measuring the dielectric state variables in Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BbDS) using Extremely Conductive Silver Epoxy Adhesive (ECSEA) paste is presented. These dielectric state variables serve to identify the precursor of the beginning of the end of life of the composite material under fatigue loading.

Characterization of Thermal Interface Materials (TIM)

Thermal conductive gap filler materials are used as thermal interface materials (TIMs) in electronic devices due their numerous advantages, such as higher thermal conductivity, ease of use, and conformity. Characterization techniques such as dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BbDS) are used to study the mechanical, thermal, and dielectric characteristics of these TIMs, which will guide towards a better understanding of the applicability and reliability of these TIMs.
