Mr. Debdata Mandal completted his under graduation from Jadavpur University, Kolkata in 2010. Thereafter, he joined IIT Bombay for M.tech in Structural Engineering. In 2012, he converted M.tech to Ph.D. His research work encompasses theoretical, numerical and experimental studies on both linear and nonlinear wave/vibration-damage interactions in plate like structures.

 

The fundamental contributions of Mr. Debadatta mandal's research work are- disbond detection in stiffened aluminum plate with the help of nonlinear guided wave propagation, overt type damage (e.g., narrow through hole or, slit) detection in aluminium plate with the help of linear guided wave propagation, and disbond detection using different mode shape based techniques (e.g., Fractal Dimension, Wavelet Coefficient, Gapped Smoothing, etc.). Both contact (using surface mounted PZT wafers) and noncontact (using Laser Doppler Vibrometer) sensing techniques have adopted in the experiment.
