Dear Sir/Madam,
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
I, Surendra Verma, wish to apply for the post-doctoral position corresponding
to your post on iMechanics (https://imechanica.org/node/26796).
I did my graduate and post-graduatione in 2015 from the Department of Aerospace
Engineering at IIT Kharagpur (https://www.iitkgp.ac.in/), a premier institute
in India.
I have done my Ph.D.
in the area of composite structures from the same institute in December
2021.
After that, I have done a research internship in the field of Deep learning
under Dr.
Pawan Goyal in the Department of Computer Science Engineering, IIT Kharagpur
for eight months.
I have also worked as an Assistant professor at Punjab Engineering College
(https://pec.ac.in/) on a contract basis for one semester before moving to
Toronto, Canada.
Currently, I am a post-doctoral research fellow in the Department of Mechanical
and Industrial Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University, Toronto,
Canada.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
My research area of interest is related to the linear and nonlinear analysis
of flat, folded, curved panels made of advanced composite material (laminated,
sandwich, functionally graded material, piezoelectric) using Isogeometric
and finite element methods.
Particularly, I deal with bending, vibration, transient, harmonic, and
buckling analysis in dry and hydrothermal environments.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
During my Ph.D.
tenure, I extensively worked on the nonlinear bending and buckling analysis
of laminated and sandwich curved panels in hygrothermal environment.
I have used finite element analysis in conjunction with equivalent higher-order
shear deformation shell theory.
As a part of my Ph.D., I demonstrated three major contributions to the structural
analysis.
(1) Geometrically nonlinear bending analysis of composite plates – I have
compared von Karman and Green-Lagrange nonlinearities for different plate
structures under different boundary conditions.
I have suggested to used Green-Lagrange nonlinearity by showing the error
difference in the von Karman results for at least one free edge condition,
which is common in aircraft structures.
(2) Buckling analysis of composite plates – I have proposed a systematic
approach for buckling analysis without the preassumption of uniform loading.
Particularly, the effect of pre-buckling boundary conditions and Green-Lagrange
stress stiffening is analyzed.
A comprehensive comparison between different linear and nonlinear buckling
approaches is also made.
I have suggested using nonlinear buckling approaches with Green-Lagrange
nonlinearity for reliable prediction of buckling and post-buckling responses.
(3) Bending and buckling analysis of curved panels – I investigated the
bending and buckling solution under different transverse and inplane loads
with/without hygrothermal environment.
A shell model is proposed, which is based on generalized equivalent higher-orde
r shear deformation shell theory.
I have used a curved shell element for this study instead of flat and degenerat
ed shell elements.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
I am currently working on analyzing rotating structures under Prof.
Donatus Oguamanam (https://www.torontomu.ca/mechanical-industrial/people/faculty/
donatus-oguamanam/).
Moreover, I am also extending my Ph.D.
works for the functionally graded materials in collaboration with my IIT
Kharagpur junior.
Apart from this, I am also trying to do structural analysis through a deep
learning approach.
My future research interest is to develop various open-source modules to
do different types of structural analysis in the field of solid mechanics.
My GitHub repository contains my source codes related to my work (https://githu
b.com/suri2501).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By virtue of my Ph.D.
work, I have gained considerable experience in structural analysis and
tools.
I have extensively coded the finite element program in MATLAB for all these
works and compared it with Navier, 3D Elasticity, and ANSYS solutions to
validate the approach.
I am skilled in Mathematica, C, C++, and Python, with data structure and
algorithms knowledge.
Moreover, I have strong knowledge of the Isogeometric approach.
If I get an opportunity to work in your research group, I can work on Topology
optimization using a level-set approach via Isogeometric.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
My kin interest in the above-mentioned areas and prior experience with various
skills will greatly benefit me in realizing the work at hand.
My CV is enclosed, along with a list of my published works and references.

Thank you for giving your time.
