Legacy
Narasimhan's researches have been focused on the theoretical, computational and applied aspects of Solid Mechanics, Fracture Mechanics and Mechanics of Materials.
Narasimhan is a former member of the Science and Engineering Research Board of the Department of Science and Technology.[4] He sits in the editorial boards of journals including Engineering Fracture Mechanics[14] and Journal of Mechanics and Physics of Solids of Elsevier,[15] and the International Journal of Fracture of Springer.[16] Besides, he is a former member of the editorial board of Current Science journal of the Indian Academy of Sciences.[8] He has mentored a number of master's and doctoral scholars in their studies and has delivered several keynote or invited speeches including at the Complex Geometry and Operator Theory conference jointly organized by the Indian Statistical Institute and Institute of Mathematical Sciences in December 2015.[17]
Awards and honors
His work alongside Ares Rosakis at Caltech earned Narasimhan the Rudolph Kingslake Medal of the SPIE, an honor he shared with Rosakis and Alan Taylor Zehnder in 1988.
