In a remarkable achievement, Dr Maheshwar Dwivedy, Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has made a significant contribution to the field of materials science with his latest publication. The paper, entitled “Understanding heterogeneity and anisotropy of duplex stainless steel elastic/plastic nature through property mapping technique,” has been published in the esteemed journal Materials Letters, which boasts an impact factor of 3.0.Dr Dwivedy’s research provides insightful analysis of the complex behaviours of duplex stainless steel, a material known for its high strength and corrosion resistance. By employing a property mapping technique, the study reveals the intrinsic heterogeneity and anisotropy of the material’s elastic and plastic properties. This groundbreaking work not only advances the understanding of duplex stainless steels but also opens up new possibilities for their application in various industries.
The publication of this paper in a journal with a significant impact factor is a testament to the quality and importance of the research conducted by Dr Dwivedy and his team. It underscores SRM University – AP’s commitment to fostering cutting-edge research and innovation.Abstract
Accelerated property mapping, an advanced indentation technique, was used to describe the nanomechanical behaviour of duplex stainless steel (DSS) surfaces prior to and post-heat treatments. Heterogeneity in deformation responses and relative elastic and/or plastic nature of DSS was assessed on longitudinal and transverse directions through load-displacement curves, property maps, histograms of hardness (H), modulus (E) and indentation works. Empirical ratios such as H/E, (H/E)1/2, H3/E2 and plasticity index were employed to understand the anisotropy across the directions. It is crucial that for structural designing, heterogeneity and anisotropy of mechanical behaviour need to be accounted for improved property–optimisation.Explanation of the Research in Layperson’s Terms
Duplex stainless steel (DSS), a unique category of steel, contains almost equal amounts of ferrite and austenite phases within its microstructure. These are employed in applications like boilers, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, etc., as they offer superior strength, ductility, toughness, and corrosion resistance properties compared to other steels. Mechanical characteristics of DSS are significantly influenced by manufacturing protocols including heat treatments. It is believed that anisotropy and heterogeneity in mechanical behaviour can be driven by microstructures post-material processing.
A comprehensive understanding of DSS material behaviour at the macroscopic scale is not feasible without knowledge of its features and their properties locally. Although the mechanical properties of DSS have been widely explored from a macroscopic perspective as well as innovative nano-scale property mapping techniques, the number of studies addressing anisotropy seen through small-scale characterization is rather restricted. In general, the preliminary assessment of the mechanical behaviour commonly done through hardness (H) and modulus (E) properties. For estimating the elasticity and/or plasticity of material or any surface, different empirical ratios were adopted namely H/E, H3/E2 and (H/E)1/2.

Abstract
The synthesis of three-dimensional silver nanopopcorns (Ag NPCs) onto a flexible polycarbonate membrane (PCM) for the detection of nitrofurazone (NFZ) on fish surfaces by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is presented. The proposed flexible Ag-NPCs/PCM SERS substrate exhibits significant Raman signal intensity enhancement with a measured enhancement factor of 2.36 × 10^6. This enhancement is primarily attributed to the hotspots created on Ag NPCs, which include numerous nanoscale protrusions and internal crevices distributed across the surface. The detection of NFZ using this flexible SERS substrate demonstrates a low limit of detection (LOD) of 3.7 × 10^−9 M and uniform, reproducible Raman signal intensities with a relative standard deviation below 8.34%. The substrate also exhibits excellent stability, retaining 70% of its efficacy even after 10 days of storage. Notably, the practical detection of NFZ in tap water, honey water, and fish surfaces achieves LOD values of 1.35 × 10^−8 M, 5.76 × 10^−7 M, and 3.61 × 10^−8 M, respectively, highlighting its effectiveness across different sample types. The developed Ag-NPCs/PCM SERS substrate presents promising potential for the sensitive SERS detection of toxic substances in real-world samples.
Methodology
The synthesis involves creating silver nanopopcorns on a flexible polycarbonate membrane using a simple chemical method. The resulting Ag NPCs exhibit high surface roughness with numerous nanoscale features that enhance the Raman signal. This flexible substrate can easily collect samples from irregular surfaces without requiring extensive preparation.
This SERS substrate can detect NFZ in various real-world samples, including:
- Tap water
- Honey water
- Fish surfaces
The method’s sensitivity and ease of use make it a promising tool for ensuring food safety and monitoring environmental contaminants.
The Department believes this development will significantly impact public health by providing a reliable and accessible method for detecting harmful substances in the food chain.

The poor in India has continuous future benefits from globalization through improved healthcare – A new research from SRM University-AP economists
In a groundbreaking study, Dr. Manzoor H. Malik, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics, and Sodiq O. Bisiriyu, a Research Scholar, have developed a comprehensive framework known as the globalization-growth-poverty (GPP) triangular nexus.This innovative model examines the interplay between globalisation waves, economic growth trends, and their collective impact on poverty reduction in India, aligning with the nation’s commitment to achieving Goal 1 of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The researchers used three different indicators of poverty, encompassing the monetary and non-monetary constructs. The research controls for the impact of government development spending and domestic investment in the GPP nexus. The result of the research validates the significant globalization-led growth hypothesis in the short run and establishes the existence of the GPP triangular nexus in India. Additionally, the researchers found positive association of globalization and growth with monetary and non-monetary poverty measures in the short-run while the impact on monetary measure in the long-run is ambiguous.
Finally, the results offer significant insight into the impact of government development spending and domestic investment on poverty. The results prove that government development expenditure in India is detrimental to non-monetary poverty while domestic investment have insignificant impact on all poverty constructs.
From policy perspective, the researcher said, “the short-run validation of globalization-led growth hypothesis for India is challenging and calls for government broad-based framework to tackle impediments of long-term globalization-led growth and monetary poverty benefits”. They emphasized that only sustained long-term growth can accelerate the vision of India as stated in “Viksit Bharat 2047” agenda. Published in the esteemed ‘Quality & Quantity’ journal by Springer, with an impact factor of 2.87, this study provides valuable insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers.
