About
Dr. K. Senthilnathan is a mechanical engineer whose research centers on the development and characterization of polymer matrix composites for advanced mechanical applications, particularly in power transmission systems. His most cited work, "Experimental Investigation of Polymer Matrix Composites Gears with Different Fiber Proportions" (2020, 9 citations), addresses the critical need for lightweight, high-stiffness alternatives to conventional metallic materials in industrial rotating machinery. By systematically varying fiber proportions, Senthilnathan has provided foundational experimental data on how composite composition influences gear performance, durability, and failure modes. This work is especially relevant as industries increasingly seek to replace traditional materials in components like gears, which are essential for efficient power transmission. His findings offer practical guidance for engineers designing polymer gears that balance strength, weight, and cost. With a growing citation record, Senthilnathan’s contributions are helping to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale composite research and real-world mechanical applications, making him a valuable voice in the field of composite materials and tribology.
