Research Interests: Physical Metallurgy, Materials Processing, Materials Characterization and Materials Modeling
Current Research: As a Graduate Research Assistant in CAMM, Santhosh is working on developing PC based computational tools to study the microstructure and mechanical property interrelationships in Ti – Alloys. Ti alloys produce complex, vaired and different length scale microstrcutures depending on thermomechanical processing routes. The natures of these microstuructural features make it difficult develop and implement physics based models linking microstructure to mechanical properties. Neural networks serve as short-term predictive capability until more robust physics based models are developed. He is using artificial neural network with Bayesian framework to predict the mechanical properties of Ti- alloys.
He is using advanced characterization techniques such SEM, TEM and EBSD to study the deformation mechanisms and fracture mechanism in ?/? Ti alloys. He is also actively involved in developing the 3D microstructural models in various Ti-alloys.
His past research includes work with Dr.Sears on Laser Engineering Net Shaping (LENS) of advanced materials such as 316L-SS, Inconel-718, and Ti6Al4V. He is also worked with Mr.Arbegast on Friction Stir Welding of various aluminum alloys.
Santhosh Koduri graduated with a B.Tech degree in Metallurgical Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), Hyderabad, India. He received MS degree in Materials Science and Engineering from South Dakota School Mines and Technology, Rapidcity,SD. His MS thesis involved characterization of high strength and high conductivity Cu-Mg-Sn-B alloys. He received Ivanhoe Excellency Fellowship for the academic year 2001-2002. Before joining the CAMM, he did internship at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratories (PNNL), Richland, WA. Currently he is pursuing PhD under the guidance of Dr.Fraser.
