Rajnish Kumar (materials scientist)
ID: rajnish-kumar-materials-scientist
Rajnish Kumar is a researcher in mechanical testing of composite materials. His institutional profile identifies him within DTU's composites manufacturing and testing group and gives ORCID 0000-0002-1243-9585, distinguishing this materials researcher from namesakes.[ref]
He was first and corresponding author of the 2020 glass- and carbon-fibre study with Lars Pilgaard Mikkelsen, Hans Lilholt and Bo Madsen. Their semi-automated single-fibre tensile test examined stress-strain-based modulus determinations. The public abstract reports an approximately strain-independent true-stress-based tangent modulus for the tested glass fibres, while the tested carbon fibres showed a tendency for that modulus to increase with strain.[ref]

That distinction explains why one fitted Young's modulus need not summarize an entire stress-strain curve. A local slope and a slope fitted over a finite strain interval answer different questions; their definitions must accompany a comparison. The result concerns the tested specimens and the stated analysis, rather than every glass or carbon fibre. The associated dataset names Kumar as a contributor and preserves individual records and compliance calculations, allowing those measurement assumptions to be examined.[ref]
