Nonlocal Mechanical Behaviour of Functionally Graded Composite Nanostructures

Chinika Dangi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Chennai. She was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. She earned a PhD at the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, and an MSc at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi.Susmita Naskar is a Senior Lecturer leading the Engineered Materials and Structures Lab in the School of Engineering at the University of Southampton. Her research group works in multiscale structural mechanics and multiphysics analysis, focusing on engineered materials and structures involving the intersection of additive manufacturing, material characterization through computational design, and experiments in engineering. Her group is developing methods to address long-term horizon problems and challenges of coupling scales in complex multiphysics material modelling. In addition, she is working on advanced manufacturing techniques that are relevant to the fabrication of engineered materials.
