Bio
This is Dr. Mohammad Jane Alam Khan, Assistant Professor in the department of Mechanical Engineering, BUET. He completed his Bachelor and Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from BUET. He obtained his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) with focus on atomistic study of plastic deformation behavior of molecular crystal HMX. His fields of research interest includes Mechanics of Material, Dislocation and Plasticity, Energetic Materials, and Molecular Dynamics Simulation. He likes bicycling, travelling, mountain trekking, and camping at leisure times.
Mechanics of Material is a branch of engineering which studies material behavior subjected to stress and strain. This field is sometimes referred to as Strength of Materials.
Dislocations are imperfections in a otherwise perfect crystal and is often the reason for plastic deformation. It is the dislocations which move in a crystal to produce plastic slip.
Energetic Materials are those materials which contain a large amount of chemical energy which is released upon bond breaking and are often used in explosives for that reason.
