About

Dr. Putti Srinivasa Rao
Professor & Ex-Chairman, Board of Studies
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Andhra University College of Engineering, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, India

Dr. Putti Srinivasa Rao is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Andhra University College of Engineering, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, India, where he has been serving as Professor since 2012 and as Chairman of the Board of Studies since June 2021. He has extensive academic, teaching, research, curriculum-development, and administrative experience in Mechanical Engineering.

He obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Andhra University in 2012, with his doctoral research focused on “Vibration Based Damage Identification of Welded Structures – A Statistical Approach.” He completed his M.Tech. in Machine Design from JNTU Hyderabad in 2000 with First Class with Distinction and his B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Bangalore University in 1995 with First Class.

His major research interests include Structural Health Monitoring, Early Damage Identification of Engineering Structures, Condition Monitoring of Rotating Machinery, Mechanical Vibrations, Finite Element Analysis, Design of Mechanical Components, and Composite Materials. His research work particularly emphasizes vibration-based damage detection, modal analysis, condition monitoring, vibration control, and the application of analytical, numerical, and experimental techniques to engineering structures.

Dr. Rao has published extensively in international and national journals and conferences, with research contributions covering vibration-based damage identification, structural health monitoring, dynamic vibration absorbers, modal analysis, composite materials, vibration energy harvesting, rotating machinery condition monitoring, and finite element analysis. His publications include papers in journals published by Elsevier, Springer, ASTM International, IOP Publishing, and other international publishers, including Scopus-indexed journals.
He has guided and supervised numerous B.Tech., M.E., and M.Tech. student research projects and theses, particularly in the areas of vibration analysis, crack detection, structural damage identification, modal analysis, condition monitoring, composite materials, and mechanical design.

Dr. Rao has also played an active role in organizing and coordinating national and international conferences, workshops, and technical programmes, including conferences on Recent Advances in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Health Monitoring, Vibrations and Health Monitoring, and Condition Monitoring.

He is a Life Member of the Institution of Engineers (India), Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE), Indian Society of Mechanical Engineers (ISME), and Condition Monitoring Society of India (CMSI), where he also serves as Joint Secretary. He is additionally a member of ASME and the International Association of Engineers (IAENG).

With a career spanning more than two decades in Mechanical Engineering education and research, Dr. Rao’s academic work combines teaching, research, student supervision, professional activities, and university academic administration, with particular emphasis on Advanced Dynamics, Mechanical Vibrations, Structural Health Monitoring, Condition Monitoring, and Vibration-Based Damage Identification.
