Research Highlights

Dr. Neha Ahlawat’s research focuses on the numerical solution of partial differential equations, structural vibrations, and the behavior of functionally graded material (FGMs) plates of various geometries. Her work has advanced the understanding of buckling and vibration characteristics of FGM circular plates under various mechanical and thermal loading conditions using analytical and semianalytical methods such as the Differential Transform Method and differential quadrature method. Her research contributions include the modeling of non-uniform Mindlin plates, investigation of radial and axisymmetric vibration modes, and the influence of foundations and peripheral loading on FGM structures. Dr. Ahlawat has also extended her expertise to interdisciplinary domains through the simulation of reaction-diffusion systems relevant to biological processes such as malaria transmission, cancer virotherapy, and COVID-19 dynamics. These studies utilize numerical techniques like B-spline collocation and contribute to computational biology and epidemiological modeling. She continues to explore multi-directional FGMs, nano-scale structural behavior, and complex coupled systems in mechanics and applied mathematics. Her research bridges theoretical modeling with real-world engineering applications, emphasizing numerical accuracy, computational efficiency, and material innovation in structural analysis.
