Stability of Advanced Structures Lab

Faculty-In-Charge

Prof. Sandeep Jose

Lab Overview

  • The Stability of Structures Lab focuses on understanding and analyzing the stability and behaviour of various structural elements under different loads and conditions
  • The main goal is to ensure that structures can withstand forces without collapsing or failing, thereby ensuring safety and reliability

Key Research Areas

  • Integrity assessment of aerospace structures
  • Non-destructive prediction of load-carrying the capacity of space shells

Significant Facilities & Special Features

  • Biaxial testing facility- Stability assessment using axial compression and lateral probing
  • Imperfection measurement facility

Major Equipment

Research Funding & Grants

  • SERB Early Carrier Research (ECR) Grant
  • BITS Cross-Disciplinary Research Fund (CDRF)
