Micro-scale Fracture Testing of Graded (Pt,Ni)Al Bond Coats
(2018-04-16)PtNiAl bond coats are diffusion aluminide coatings deposited on superalloy based turbine blades for oxidation resistance and improved adhesion between the substrate and the YSZ thermal barrier coating on top. They are ... -
Micro-spectroscopic studies on Mycobacteria & Cancer cells
Evasion of the immune system is a key hallmark of cancer progression. Developing strategies that diagnose early the immune-cancer synapse may lead to long term cures from these aggressive cancers. We aimed to develop optical ... -
Microbially-induced Mineral Flocculation and Flotation with Proteins and Polysaccharides Isolated from Paenibacillus
The most significant environmental issue that has arisen in the mining industries over the last decade is that of acid mine drainage (AMD) from tailing dumps and waste mined rock piles. AMD is caused by the oxidation of ... -
Microengineered Force Sensors and Haptic Feedback System for Catheter Contact Force
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) pursues the highest attention in various medical procedures globally because of the reduced complicated process compared with traditional surgery, short postprocedural convalescence, and ... -

Microgravity Flow Transients in the Context of On-Board Propellant Gauging
(2018-02-15)It is well known that surface tension of a liquid has a decisive role in flow dynamics and the eventual equilibrium state, especially in confined flows under low gravity conditions and also in free surface flows. One such ... -
Micromechanical modeling of fracture and fatigue behavior of cementitious composites
The ubiquitous use of concrete as a construction material in the civil engineering industry demands a thorough understanding of its failure process under different types of loading. The composite nature of cementitious ... -
Micromechanical understanding of the macroscopic features of dense granular materials
The prevalence of granular materials in nature (soil, beach sand, rubble pile asteroids) and in several industries (cement, food grains, pharmaceutical powders) has motivated extensive research towards understanding the ... -
Micromechanics of Wedge and Cone Indentation of Metallic Specimens with Subsurface Voids
Near-surface voids and pores occur in metal parts manufactured by processes as diverse as casting, powder metallurgy, and additive manufacturing. These pores range in size from a few microns to a few mm, depending on the ... -
Microporous Membranes Derived using Crystallisation Induced Phase Separation in PVDF/PMMA (Polyvinylidene Fluoride/ Polymethyl Methacrylate) Blends in Presence of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
(2018-03-10)Segmental chain dynamics in polymer blends is a very important topic, not only from a fundamental point of view but also from technological applications. Because of the difficulties in the commercialization of new polymers, ... -
A Microrobotic System with Integrated Force Sensing Capability for Manipulation of Magnetic Particles in Three Dimensions
Micro-robotic systems are used in various fields of science and technology for the manipulation of objects of size less than a millimeter. Magnetic tweezers can be considered as micro-robotic systems due to their ability ... -
Microscale mechanical behaviour of ceramic matrix composites considering processing e ects
The current work explores the phenomenon of microscale damage mechanism driven quasi- ductile behaviour of C/BN/SiC ceramic matrix composite (CMC) at the microscale focusing on process-microstructure-property correlations. ... -
Microscopic Analysis of Self Healing Circuits Using Image Processing
Open circuit faults are common circuit failure mechanism in Thin Film Transistor (TFT) integrated circuits or Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Thin film Transistors are widely used in flexible electronics and are ... -
Microscopic Investigations of Dynamics of Linear Diatomics and Ions in Water and Aqueous Binary Mixtures
This thesis explores the structural and dynamical aspects of small, charged and neutral, solute molecules in both pure water and in aqueous binary mixtures, with emphasis on water-ethanol binary mixture. We employ both ... -
Microstructural Developments and Mechanical Properties of Electroless Ni-B Coating
(2018-04-24)Phase transformation behavior, micro structural development, mechanical and tribological properties of electroless Ni-B coating was characterized using different characterization techniques. As deposited electroless Ni-B ... -
Microstructural Evolution of Directionally Solidified Ni-Al-Re/Ru Alloys
Nickel based superalloys are high temperature materials which find application as blade and disc components of jet engines due to their ability to retain their mechanical properties at temperatures close to 0.8 of their ... -
