About Me
I am keenly interested in problems related to vibration analysis & machine dynamics. Design of machines / machine elements & problem solving, interest me a lot. I have been pursuing alternative fuels for IC engines, in particular biodiesel, which is now nationally accepted as a standard fuel for engines. Problem solving and deep analyses are my favourite pastime.
