Dr Maheshwar Publishes Significant Research in Materials Letters
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.
Practical Implementation or the Social Implications Associated
• This study demonstrates the notable differences in mechanical properties in longitudinal and transverse directions along with heterogeneity before and after heat treatments.
• It is felt crucial that for structural designing, heterogeneity and anisotropy of mechanical behaviour need to be accounted for improved property-optimisation.

Significant Advancement in Analytical Detection of NFZ by the Department of Chemistry and RARE Lab
The Department of Chemistry and RARE Lab are excited to announce a groundbreaking advancement in the field of analytical detection. Researchers Dr Rajapandiyan Panneerselvan, Asst. Professor and Ph.D scholars, Ms Arunima Jinachandran and Ms Jayasree Kumar have developed a novel method for detecting nitrofurazone (NFZ) using three-dimensional silver nanopopcorns (Ag NPCs) on a flexible polycarbonate membrane (PCM) in their paper “Silver nanopopcorns decorated on flexible membrane for SERS detection of nitrofurazone” published in Microchimica Acta. This innovative technique leverages the power of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to provide a highly sensitive and practical solution for detecting NFZ on various surfaces, including fish.
Nitrofurazone (NFZ) is an antibiotic commonly used in veterinary medicine that poses significant health risks if residues enter the food chain. Despite regulatory bans, its illegal use continues, necessitating highly sensitive detection methods. While effective, traditional methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry are often costly and labor-intensive. The new SERS-based method offers a more efficient and straightforward alternative.
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.

Abstract
This study presents a new system for real-time detection and classification of defects in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), which are critical in electronic products and systems. It employs an efficient model with pre-trained weights to detect defects for enhanced quality control. The model is initially trained and fine-tuned on a computer and then deployed on a compact computing board. For real-time imaging, a high-definition USB camera is connected to the system, allowing direct defect identification without the need for external devices. The output is shown on a monitor, with the PCB image featuring clearly labelled boxes to indicate the type and location of defects. This method offers a streamlined approach to defect classification, helping to improve the quality control process in electronics manufacturing.
Explanation of the Research in Layperson’s Terms
This research focuses on finding defects in PCBs, which are essential for most electronic devices like computers and phones. The system uses a powerful computer model to quickly identify any defects in real time. The model is trained on a regular computer to recognise normal PCBs and various defects. Once ready, it is transferred to a small, efficient computer board. A camera captures images of the PCBs, and the system analyses these images to identify defects. The results are displayed on a screen, clearly marking where the defects are and what types they are. This helps companies quickly and accurately detect defects in their electronics manufacturing process, saving time, reducing waste, and improving product quality
Practical Implementation/Social Implications of the Research
The practical implementation of this research involves deploying a system for real-time detection and classification of defects in PCBs, essential components in nearly all electronic devices. Using advanced deep learning techniques, the system can quickly identify manufacturing defects early in the production process. This leads to significant improvements in quality control, reduced waste, and lower production costs. By improving quality control in electronics manufacturing, the system helps reduce electronic waste, a significant environmental concern. Early detection of defects also decreases the chances of faulty electronic products reaching consumers, enhancing safety and reducing the need for product recalls. The system’s efficiency and accuracy could lead to more reliable electronics, fostering greater consumer trust in electronic products. This, in turn, encourages companies to invest in higher-quality manufacturing processes, ultimately leading to a more sustainable and responsible electronics industry.
Collaborations
To develop this system, the research team first trained a computer model to recognise defects in PCBs. The training involved feeding the model a large dataset of PCB images, some with defects and some without. The model learned to identify common defects by analysing these examples. Once trained, the model was implemented in a real-time setting and integrated with equipment to inspect PCBs during production. The system used a camera to capture images of each PCB and applied the trained model to analyse these images for defects. Running in real-time, the system could immediately detect issues and alert the manufacturing team, allowing them to correct problems on the spot. This approach improved product quality, reduced the chances of defective electronics reaching consumers, sped up the quality control process, and reduced waste, making the manufacturing process more efficient.

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. It sheds light on the complex dynamics shaping contemporary socio-economic environments and offers evidence-based analysis supported by an extensive review of relevant literature.

Abstract of the Book Chapter:
A new generation of sensing, processing, and communicating devices at the size of a few cubic micrometers are made possible by nanotechnology. Such tiny devices will transform healthcare applications and open up new possibilities for in-body settings. A thorough understanding of the in-vivo channel characteristics is essential to achieve efficient communication between the nanonodes floating in the circulatory system (here, it is the heart) and the gateway devices fixed in the skin. This entails one to have accurate knowledge on the dielectric properties (permittivity and conductivity) of cardiac tissues in terahertz band (0.1 to 10 THz). This research examines the strength of the machine learning models in accurate calculation of the dielectric properties of the cardiac tissues. Initially, we generate the data using 3-pole Debye Model and then use machine learning models (Linear Regression, Polynomial Regression, Gradient Boosting, and KNN), on this data, to estimate the dielectric properties. We compare the values predicted by machine learning models with those given by the analytical model. Our investigation shows that the Gradient Boosting method has better prediction performance. Further, we have also validated these results using Origin software employing curve fitting technique. In addition, the research also contributes to the study of data expansion by predicting unknown data based on available experimental data, emphasizing the broader applicability of machine learning in biomedical research. The study’s conclusions enhance areas like non-invasive sensing in the context of 6G, which may improve data and monitoring in a networked healthcare environment.
