Symposium in honor of Prof. Reddy's 80th birthday

Professor JN Reddy has profoundly influenced the field of composite structures with groundbreaking work in finite element methods, higher-order theories for plates and shells, mechanics of fibrous and laminated composites, functionally graded materials, etc. His research has paved the way for novel mathematical models, computational methods, and design of novel materials that have significantly advanced our understanding of composite materials and structures.

This symposium is being organized to honor the 80th birthday of Professor JN Reddy and his significant contributions to composite structures by gathering researchers who have worked in areas ranging from foundational composite materials to a variety of applications in mechanics and engineering structures.

Topics will include the latest advancements in computational techniques for composite materials, non-classical and non-local theories applied to composites, multiphysics and multiscale approaches in composites design and innovative applications, etc. Other contributions that build upon Professor Reddy’s foundational work are also welcome.
