dr.narendranath's page of research and pedagogy
I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics from Michigan Technological University. This minimalist webpage describes my pedagogic and research interests. Details may be found on my university webpage. There may be hidden links to other resources that I have authored or found interesting and pertinent: find them :)
Recurrence Plot of bubble dynamics as governed by the Rayleigh-Plesset Nonlinear evolution equation.
Pedagogic experience: Classical mechanics, ordinary differential equations, numerical methods, analytical fluid dynamics and heat transfer.
Research experience and interests: Nonlinear evolution equations, bifurcation and stability analysis, perturbation methods, analytical methods for partial differential equations
Research experience and interests: Nonlinear evolution equations, bifurcation and stability analysis, perturbation methods, analytical methods for partial differential equations
Lecture notes I am continuously developing and improving for "intro to Finite element methods":
- Use of Euler-Lagrange equation
- Introduction to variational calculus (what is the shortest distance between two points?)
- Slides on Galerkin's method of weighted residuals
Future conferences I am targeting:
- ASEE Annual conference 2020
- October 2018: IEEE Frontiers in Education
- October 2018: IEEE Oceans
