Teaching
Prof. Upadhyay has taught the following courses:
AEM 3031: Deformable Body Mechanics
(Fall 2025)
This undergraduate-level course teaches the fundamental concepts in mechanics of solids and structures, including stress/strain at point, Mohr's circle, material behavior, linear elasticity, torsion of circular shafts. bending of symmetric beams, column buckling, statically indeterminate structures, and kinematic and dynamic analysis and synthesis of mechanisms.
ME 7953: Fundamentals of Continuum Mechanics
(Spring 2023, 2025; in LSU)
Continuum mechanics deals with the mathematical analysis of the thermomechanical responses of continuous media (both solids and fluids). This branch of mechanics unifies solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer, and is a cornerstone for most mathematical material models and numerical techniques (e.g., FEA) currently used in engineering. This course provides a thorough introduction to the fundamental concepts and methods used in continuum mechanics.
ME 7273: Advanced Stress Analysis in ME
(Spring 2024; in LSU)
This course teaches the exact (Theory of Elasticity) and approximate (Adv. Mechanics of Materials) methods to analyze solids and structures. These methods apply to the design and analysis of mechanical, industrial, aerospace, and civil structures.
ME 4133: Machine Design I—Kinematics and Dynamics of Machinery
(Fall 2022, 2023, 2024; in LSU)
An undergraduate-level course that teaches kinematic and dynamic analysis and synthesis of mechanisms.
