This recording is of Lecture 01 on "Inspirations and equations derived from VAM for mechanics of student life" and presented by Prof. Dineshkumar Harursampath (IISc Bangalore). About the speaker A PhD from Georgia Tech, ranked world no. 1 in aerospace engineering recently, ME from IISc, consistently ranked no. 1 university in India & BTech from IIT-Madras, ranked no. 1 engineering college in India, all in aerospace engineering as a top ranker, Prof. Harursampath heads NMCAD Lab at Dept. of Aerospace Engg. in Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, India. He is also a visiting professor at ENS Cachan, France; TU Delft, Netherlands; PoliMi & PoliTo, Italy and teaches online courses for Arizona University, NUS & NTU, apart from continuing education programs for the industry in the area of composites & flight vehicle structures & design. With crores of rupees (millions of US dollars) in funding from the Govt. of India, Boeing, Bell Helicopters etc., he has advised many PhD & Masters students, resulting in over 330 journal & international conference articles. He takes pride in his HRD & placement efforts as many of his students are now professors at the prestigious IITs or senior scientists at PSUs & MNCs. He and his student teams have won more than a dozen major international awards, including the Olympics of Aerospace Engineers: UNESCO Fly Your Ideas & Airbus Innovation Showdown. He also coordinates the Indian academia for Airbus Link the Top program & is widely covered by the popular media. Prof. Harursampath and his many student teams’ achievements (in human resource development, research, teaching, competitions, collaborations, funding, etc.) by popular media such as newspapers, magazines, radio, television, blogs, university websites etc. have been noted in English, vernacular Indian languages, German, Portuguese, Japanese etc. around the world. In addition to 20 PhD and 9 MSc (Engg.) research students, 6 Post-Docs and 44 ME student dissertations were also advised/guided. The NMCAD Lab alumni (apart from more than 60 former interns, joint academies’ SRFs and project staff) remain in regular touch with the lab and frequently participate with current students in leading global competitions, winning multiple awards, receiving extensive media coverage. Almost everyone of Dr. Harursampath’s 100+ alumni, students and staff has appreciated the fact that he is accessible from any part of the world 24X7, literally within a few minutes, to clarify in great detail any of their technical queries, leading to useful discussions. They have frequently recognized and commended the roles that such prompt, clear and thorough explanations and interactions with Prof. Harursampath have played in their training, research, innovation, performance and career. All NMCAD Lab alumni, despite very humble pre-IISc academic backgrounds are extremely well-placed today academically/professionally (including 5 IIT faculty members), thanks to the training and value addition at NMCAD Lab as well as active networking with the industry and academia around the world by Prof. Harursampath to personally identify best-fit positions for them. He has also been lauded for his innate team-building capabilities leading to multiple international successes. Prof. Harursampath considers such HRD, and their placement in intellectually satisfying collaborative environments working towards global welfare, as his most significant contribution. Website of Prof. Harursampath: http://aero.iisc.ac.in/people/dinesh/web Abstract of lecture The lecture will discuss various aspects of modeling in aerospace structures. In particular, the lecture will focus on the modeling of composite materials using the Variational Asymptotic Method (VAM).
