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. 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
Upcoming conferences I am preparing for:
- October 2018: IEEE Frontiers in Education (Abstract accepted; paper in preparation in April 2018)
- October 2018: IEEE Oceans (Abstract in preparation in April 2018)
