About
J. Chandrasekaran is a leading researcher in structural health monitoring and nondestructive evaluation, with a primary focus on guided wave-based defect detection in critical industrial infrastructure. His key research areas include the development of higher order modes cluster (HOMC) guided wave techniques for online corrosion monitoring, particularly in the challenging annular plate region of above-ground storage tanks. His most cited work, published in 2009, addresses a pressing industry need: detecting corrosion in the inaccessible zone between the tank shell wall and the annular plate—a region where conventional floor scanning methods fail. This seminal paper has garnered 33 citations, underscoring its impact on both academic research and practical asset integrity management. Chandrasekaran’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between theoretical wave propagation and real-world field applications, offering tankfarm operators a reliable, non-invasive solution for early defect detection. His work is widely recognized for its direct relevance to the oil and gas sector, where preventing catastrophic failures is paramount. Through his innovative use of guided waves, Chandrasekaran has advanced the safety and longevity of critical storage infrastructure.
