Awarded to Dr. V. S. Sooraj, Department of Aerospace Engineering., IIST and his research scholars - Shri. Sarath Babu Thekkoot Surendran and Dr. Danish Handa for development of green and sustainable surface machining of difficult-to-cut engineering/aerospace/bio-medical materials such as Ti6Al4V, CFRPs, etc.

The ISAMPE award for Smart Materials and Systems Technology Development for the Year 2024 is presented to Dr. V. S. Sooraj, Department of Aerospace Engineering., IIST and his research scholars - Shri. Sarath Babu Thekkoot Surendran and Dr. Danish Handa. The award is to recognize the contributions of the research team towards (a) the development of a smart re-configurable grinding wheel with in-situ green cooling (with self-generated cold air) and self-adaptable lubricant delivery (like sweating action), utilizing the potential capabilities of additive manufacturing (3D printing), and (b) the development of an innovative grinding process with intermittent-progressive cutting scheme titled as ‘Eccentric Sleeve Grinding (ESG)’ that is highly efficient for the machining of fibre reinforced polymer composites (FRPs). The research contributions are recognized for their originality, innovation content and potential applications for the green and sustainable surface machining of difficult-to-cut engineering/aerospace/bio-medical materials such as Ti6Al4V, CFRPs, etc.
