Computational Materials Science & ModelingMechanical Behaviour & Computational Mechanics

Teaching

Prof. Patra emphasizes on introducing mathematical and computational aspects into materials science concepts in his teaching. He has taught an undergraduate course on the mechanical behavior of materials, as well as advanced courses on continuum plasticity of metals, and numerical solutions of partial differential equations for continuum transport modeling.

Research profile

Prof. Patra's research interests are in the prediction of microstructuremechanical property correlations using physically­based crystal plasticity constitutive equations. These tools have been used for simulating deformation in nuclear, aerospace and automotive alloys. A key emphasis of his research is also on the development of computational methods, including open source tools, for such applications.
