Introduction and Vision

One of the founding units of the Institute, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has played aleading role in defining a unique engineering science curriculum that has served as a model for academicprograms around the country. It has played a prominent role by setting standards in teaching whilecreating new interdisciplinary programs in industrial engineering, mechatronics, and nuclear technology.Developments in electronics, computers and lasers have been integrated into academic programmes, thuscreating an edge in its professional activities.

The domain of mechanical engineering education is vast. Stemming from industrial revolution itself, ithas evolved over decades from emphasis on principles of mechanics and thermodynamics to understand-ing large-scale industrial systems. It has historically focused on subjects such as machines and engines,their performance and development of newer configurations. Changes are driven by advancements incomputational tools, drastically superior measurement techniques, and new manufacturing capabilities.Recent developments in information technology, on one hand, and materials, on the other, have pro-foundly impacted the discipline, calling for a serious review of its outlook and activities.

The Department graduates around 100 undergraduates each year, 50 Master’s, and 10 -15 Ph.Ds. Manyof its alumni hold eminent positions in the academia and the industry around the world. A wide spec-trum of courses is offered at levels ranging from the undergraduate to the doctoral. Many subjectssuch as computational mechanics, laser measurements, micro scale devices and transport phenomena,smart materials and structures, multi-scale simulation, rapid prototyping, futuristic manufacturing, andthermal systems are offered as electives. On an average, two or three new courses are proposed everyyear, keeping in mind the development of the discipline. We are also well-recognized for leading studentinitiatives such as the nano-satellite and the Boeing-supported autonomous vehicle program.

Faculty members, 37 in number at present, have excellent academic credentials and are highly regarded.They have been conferred awards at national and international levels. The fellowships received by thefaculty members include, Boyscast, Swarnajayanti, Bhatnagar, Humboldt and JSPS. Many of the fac-ulty members have membership in one or more professional societies and a few are elected Fellows ofvarious professional bodies such as INAE, INSA and ASME. Several serve on the editorial boards ofinternational and national journals, review technical articles for journals on a regular basis and are tech-nical and organizing committee members of international symposia and conferences. Several others haveexcelled in teaching and have been conferred suitable awards. Some faculty member have authored quitea few textbooks, some are recognized as classics in their respective domains. While publication statisticsreveal 3 good papers per faculty per year, emphasis is also laid on patents and technology development.The Department has identified its strengths that form the basis of its future aspirations.

• Advanced mechanics and multi-scale modelling: Major disciplines such as condensed matterphysics, fluid dynamics, optics, nonlinear dynamics and structural mechanics derive ideas fromclassical mechanics. The primary aim is to understand, follow, and ultimately predict criticalparameters such as peak stress or maximum temperature or largest deformation or highest currentdensity or incipient failure of a system, given knowledge of its interaction with the environment, andthe stress response of the material composing the system. There is an ever-growing requirementfor detailed analyses, addressing complex loading patterns, non-mechanical interactions such asthermal or electromagnetic fields, incorporating real geometry, and, importantly, realistic materialbehaviour.

• Non-invasive measurements: Techniques have been developed for measuring transport prop-erties in solids, fluids, and fluid mixtures using lasers, γ -rays and ultra-sound. Other applicationsare seen in non-destructive testing, void fraction measurements in nuclear reactors, and processcontrol in power plants.

• Manufacturing processes for new-era machines and components:There is substantial in-terest and expertise in process development, optimization and control related to conventional andnon-conventional manufacturing processes, micro- and nano-manufacturing and CNC machining.Development of new-era machines of small length scales, based on self-organizing smart materials,including generative processes, micro-fabrication and self-assembly is one of the current researchareas. Such machines are envisioned to have multiple applications in molecular recognition, achievedisplacements and precise actuation at the micro- to nano-scales. It includes the concepts of error-free manufacturing, the self-correcting nature of the shaping process, advanced metrology, andsoftware development for CAD-to-product processes. One other research area is concerned withnano-finishing of large components and controlled patterning of surfaces. A thorough evaluation ofnanotribological aspects of surfaces is also included particularly in micro-nano scale machines. Oneof the mandates is also to develop hybrid processes for surface texturing using modern machiningtechniques which can alter the functionality of new-era machines. A line of interest lies in processmodelling and simulation for metal forming, machining processes, component design and thermaland transport phenomena of various manufacturing processes with an aim towards the develop-ment of improved manufacturing and materials processes. These include casting, high energy beamassisted manufacturing, surface coating and deposition processes, texturing and electromagneticmaterials processing.

• Energy: The present-day concern with shortages in energy resources and the quality of emissionsand environment has pitched the subject to the forefront. The discussions on bio-fuels, hydrogeneconomy, fuel cells, gas hydrates and CO2 management have a societal angle to them. We try tounderstand combustion in a transparent internal combustion engine with an aim to reduce emis-sions and improve thermal efficiency. Several gaseous and liquid alternative fuels and advancedengine technology such as laser ignition and Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition are beingdeveloped in addition to large bore engines development and exhaust gas after-treatment systems.The department is home to the expertise on pulsating heat pipes, a technology of critical impor-tance in thermal management. New initiatives can be seen in the area of thermal energy storageusing phase change materials.

• Computational mechanics and transport: It includes composite materials, structural analysis,fluids and turbulence, heat and mass transfer, multi-body dynamics, and optimization. The nextera will require greater creativity in mathematical modelling, multi-scale simulation and ultra-fastcomputation of unstable systems in the engineered as well as the natural world. Validation of themodels and theories against experiments is one of our research targets.

The department is aware of the need to collaborate and be in continuous contact with the outsideworld. Recently concluded Indo-US and Indo-Japan projects are role models to build upon. Therailway technology mission from Ministry of Railways and the CFD software project for BARCMumbai are the largest technological missions granted to our Institute. It is an active participantin the Gas Turbine Research Initiative of the Ministry of Defence. The collaboration on futuristicmechanics with IGCAR Kalpakkam is a unique experiment expected to bear fruit. The task ofdeveloping trained manpower for the industry remains a primary responsibility.

In a nut shell, our vision is: We will focus on developing cutting-edge technologies of inter-disciplinarynature on multiple scales. To this end, we will broaden our self-definition and be a continuing source ofideas to the society.
