Text Formatting ⇒ Thesis format : Chapter name and chapter number in different line

[sou0310men]

for thesis writing Chapter heading format that I want is given below:

below the heading must right aligned.
"
\top margin 30mm
CHAPTER (font size 20)
\vertical space
1 (center to chapter of previous line, font size 36)
\vertical space of 18 points
Introduction (font size 20)
\vertical space 72 points
bla bla bla (i.e., content of introduction section and text justified)"

I don't claim this will do exactly what you want, but it's a variation on this one way or another:

Code: Select all

\setlength{\topskip}{18pt}
\renewcommand{\@makechapterhead}[1]{%   % Heading for \chapter command
  \vspace*{30mm} % This is in mm from the top margin, not the top of the page
  \begin{center}\LARGE
    \ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
      \MakeUppercase\@chapapp
      \par\thechapter
      \par\nobreak
    \fi
  \addvspace{\topskip}
  \MakeUppercase{#1}
  \end{center}
  \par\nobreak
  \vskip 72\p@
}

Be careful with redefinitions of internal commands. They depend highly on the used class and packages. Several classes and packages like the KOMA-Script classes, tudscr classes, memoir, titlesec and others provide user interfaces to configure the headings.
