Rate My Professor Parnika Shrivastava

Dr. Parnika Shrivastava serves as Assistant Professor (Grade-I) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology Jalandhar. She obtained her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing Jabalpur and an M.Tech degree. Her professional experience includes a prior role as Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at National Institute of Technology Hamirpur. Dr. Shrivastava's research centers on advanced manufacturing techniques, with a focus on Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF), additive manufacturing applications for medical devices, and deformation mechanisms in polymers, metals, and composites. Her investigations explore microstructure and texture effects in incremental sheet forming, crystallographic texture reformation to improve formability, damage characterization and fracture prediction under biaxial stresses, springback and geometrical accuracy, as well as numerical simulations and finite element analysis validation in SPIF processes. Additionally, she applies pseudospectral methods to approximate solutions for fractional differential equations, including the two-dimensional fractional cable equation and multidimensional Schrödinger equation.

Dr. Shrivastava has authored and co-authored numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Notable works include 'Design Tools and Methods for Design for Additive Manufacturing (AM) of Medical Devices' (2024), 'A Modified Microhardness Based Approach to Damage Characterization for Fracture Prediction Under Biaxial Stresses in SPIF' (2022), 'Pseudospectral analysis and approximation of two-dimensional fractional cable equation' (2021), 'Enhancement of fracture forming limit by crystallographic texture reformation of AA1050 sheets in Single Point Incremental Forming' (2019), 'Effect of Preheated Microstructure Vis-à-vis Process Parameters and Characterization of Orange Peel in Incremental Forming of AA1050 Sheets' (2019), and 'Improvement in formability and geometrical accuracy of incrementally formed AA1050 sheets by microstructure and texture reformation through preheating, and their FEA and experimental validation' (2018). She has contributed chapters to edited volumes such as 'Hybrid Metal Additive Manufacturing: Technology and Applications' (2023), 'Deformation Mechanism in Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) and Significance of Crystallographic Texture in Sheet Metal Forming Operations' (2022), and 'Deformation Mechanism of Polymers, Metals, and Their Composites in Dieless Forming Operations' (2022). Her research outputs have accumulated 186 citations and 2,787 reads.
