chapter subtitle in thesis

[rupai]

Hi all,
I want to add subtitle to some of the chapters of my
thesis. I would appreciate if you kindly share your ideas to add a
subtitle below the title of a chapter.

Regards,
rupai

You add \section{NAME} below your \chapter{}, as many as you'd like.

Certainly possible, but it may have unwanted side-effects. If you settle on a convention like the colon in a title, you can add a \Chapter command (capital C) which splits off the implicit subtitle and reformats it in the title, keeping it out of the ToC:
 

\documentclass{book}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\Chapter}[1]{\split@chapter#1:}
\def\split@chapter#1:#2:{\chapter[#1]{#1\\[1ex]\huge#2}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\Chapter{Adding Subtitles: An Extra \LaTeX\ Interpretation to Separate
a Subtitle After a Colon}
Stuff
\end{document}

Sorry, it's better to use report for a thesis than book, because it lets you use an abstract. The rest of it still works.

Why not simply use the syntax \Chapter{Title}{Subtitle}? This can be
obtained by replacing Peter's definition by

\newcommand{\Chapter}[2]{\chapter[#1]{#1\\[1ex]\huge#2}}

A full MWE heavily based on his:

\documentclass{report}
\newcommand{\Chapter}[2]{\chapter[#1]{#1\\[1ex]\huge#2}}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\Chapter{Adding Subtitles}{An Extra \LaTeX\ Interpretation to Separate

a Subtitle using two arguments}
Stuff
\end{document}
