About The Author

Rao V Dukkipati, former Professor and Chairman, Department of Mechanical Engineering of Fairfield University, was a member of the Connecticut Academy of Sciences and Engineering (CASE), and a Fellow of both the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineers (CSME). Dr. Dukkipati’s other professional memberships included the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), SAE International, Certified Accident Investigator (CAI) by the National Association of Investigative Specialists (NAIS), Member of National Association of Traffic Accident Reconstructionists and Investigators (NATARI), and International Network of Collision Reconstruction (INCR) group. He did PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Oklahoma State University (1973), an MS in Mechanical Engineering from both the Andhra University, India (1969) and the University of New Brunswick, Canada (1971), a Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Statistics from Andhra University (1969), and a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Sri Venkateswara University, India. Dr. Dukkipati’s specialised areas of teaching and research included mechanical design, mechanics, vibrations, control systems, engineering system dynamics, economy and reliability, quality control, advanced engineering mathematics, vehicle dynamics and road vehicle accident reconstruction.

Dr. Dukkipati has authored more than 300 papers in national and international journals and conferences and numerous technical reports. He has authored/co-authored more than 30 engineering books spanning a range of topics such as vibrations, control systems, engineering system dynamics, economy and reliability, quality control, advanced engineering mathematics, robotics, numerical methods, kinematics and dynamics, railway vehicle dynamics, and road vehicle dynamics. Dr. Dukkipati was awarded the 2008 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) New England Section Outstanding Teacher Award.
