Suresh Keshavanarayana

Dr. Suresh Keshavanarayana is a Professor and Chairperson of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Wichita State University, College of Engineering. His research focuses on experimental solid mechanics and composite materials.

• Specializes in experimental mechanics and composites
• Research includes material characterization, fatigue behavior, and crashworthiness
• Active in modeling hyperelastic materials and thermoplastic characterization

Current projects involve micromechanics-based hyperelastic models for honeycomb cores and dynamic testing of fastener joints. His work addresses failure mechanisms in heterogeneous media and high-strain rate composite characterization.
