Research Scholar’s Day - “Shodharth 2017”
National Institute of Technology, Delhi
9th December 2017
“Shodharth 2017”- was organized by NIT, Delhi on 9th December 2017 to commemorate Research Scholar’s Day. The event was aimed to provide a forum for demonstrating the latest research findings and exchanging the ideas of research, development and knowledge among the different research groups and faculties of all departments. Event comprised of oral and poster presentation.
Mr. Manik Mittal, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Dronacharya Group of Institutions, Greater Noida participated and presented his research paper during the event.
The event began with the floral welcome of chief guests Prof. Chandra Shakher (Emeritus Professor, IIT Delhi) and Dr. Sanjay Yadav (Senior Principal Scientist, National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi).
Welcome address was conveyed by Dr. Tirupathiraju Kanumuri Dean R&C (NIT Delhi) in which he briefed about the objective of Research Scholar’s Day. He also introduced the veterans of various research fields : Prof. Chandra Shakher (Emeritus Professor, IIT Delhi), Dr. Sanjay Yadav (NPL, New Delhi), Dr. Vipul Rastogi (Associate Professor, IIT Roorkee) and Prof. Ajay K. Sharma (Director, NIT Delhi) who graced the event with their presence.
Dr. Sanjay Yadav, Senior Principal Scientist in the department of pressure, vacuum & ultrasonic metrology section, NPL, New Delhi explained about latest development in technology and instruments like Interferometer, Dead weight tester for 1 PPM, High pressure transducer, Dynamic pressure, Sphygmomanometer, High pressure electrical feed through cross floating valve. He also pointed out that researchers in NPL are having lot of challenges and would like colleges to come up collaborate and resolve the problems they are facing in above said instruments. One of the challenge NPL facing is how to overcome low pressure in optical interferometer manometer he added.
Prof. Chandra Shakher gave the motivational talk about the researches presently going on and also talked about patent learning. He encouraged every researcher to rise beyond the standards and empower the nation through their respective findings.
During the paper presentation researchers and faculty members of different institutes presented their papers. M.Tech scholars participated in the poster presentation.
Mr. Manik presented his paper titled “Free Vibrations of an Elliptic Cylinder at Low Reynolds Number”. In his research work Mr. Manik explored Single-degree-of-freedom undamped vortex-induced vibrations of a thin and rigid elliptic cylinder using a stabilized space-time finite-element formulation in two-dimensions. The cylinder of aspect ratio 0.5 (major axis parallel to flow) is free to translate along the transverse direction alone. The mass ratio of the cylinder is 10.
The event ended with the distribution of Certificates. Mr.Manik Mittal’s paper was awarded 1st Prize for Best Oral Presentation.
