Welcome to Rakesh Ranjan's website!

Rakesh Ranjan is currently working as a Research Associate at Polytechnique Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He is developing simplified and refined methods for the design of aluminum pony truss bridges. His focus is to study the behavior of a top(compression) chord in pony truss bridges under varying stiffness of U frame (floor beam, truss vertical, bottom chord, and diagonal members). For this project, he is performing laboratory tests and 3D finite element modelling. Rakesh has performed his doctoral research in the area of metal fatigue and fracture mechanics.
