Shock Tunnel Investigations On Hypersonic Separated Flows
(2009-08-11)
Knowledge of flow separation is very essential for proper understanding of both external and internal aerothermodynamics of bodies. Because of unique flow features such as thick boundary layers, merged shock layers, strong ...
Super-Convergent Finite Elements For Analysis Of Higher Order Laminated Composite Beams
(2009-08-12)
Advances in the design and manufacturing technologies have greatly enhanced the utility of fiber reinforced composite materials in aircraft, helicopter and space-
craft structural components. The special characteristics ...
Aerodynamic Analysis Of Grid Fins Using Analytical And Computational Methods
(2009-07-16)
Grid fins (lattice fins) are used as a lifting and control surface for highly manoeuvrable missiles. Grid fins also find their applications for air-launched submunitions. The main advantages are its low hinge moment ...
Combustion Instability Screech In Gas Turbine Afterburner
(2009-08-04)
Gas turbine reheat thrust augmenters known as afterburners are used to provide additional thrust during emergencies, take off, combat, and in supersonic flight of high-performance aircrafts. During the course of reheat ...
An Anti-Skid Brake Controller For A Fighter Aircraft With An Elastic Strut
(2009-04-29)
This thesis deals with the design of an anti-skid brake controller for a generic fighter aircraft. Antiskid brake controllers prevent wheel locking and maximize the coefficient of friction between the tyre and the ground, ...
Studies On Impinging-Jet Atomizers
(2009-05-06)
Characteristics of impinging-jet atomizers in the context of application in liquid propulsion systems are studied in this thesis. A review of past studies on impinging jets revealed the necessity of a correlation in terms ...
Development Of An Activated Carbon+ HFC 134a Adsorption Refrigeration System
(2009-04-01)
The demands facing the refrigeration industry are minimal usage of conventional energy sources for compression and avoidance of ozone depleting substances. One of the approaches to combat these issues is the use of thermally ...
Contact Mechanics Of Layered Structures
(2009-06-30)
Contact mechanical study of layered structures is useful to various fields of
engineering, such as - mechanical engineering, civil engineering, materials engineering and biomechanics. Thin hard film coating on a compliant ...
Analytical, Numerical, And Experimental Studies Of Fluid Damping In MEMS Devices
(2009-09-11)
Fluid damping arising from squeeze film flow of air or some inert gas trapped between an oscillating micro mechanical structure, such as a beam or a plate, and a fixed substrate often dominates the other energy dissipation ...
Towards Measurement And Simulation Of Elasto-Plastic Deformation
(2009-03-09)
The stretch forming process is frequently used in the automotive industry (outer pan-
els, inner panels, stiffeners etc.), the packaging industry and household appliances
sector, to manufacture complicated shapes and ...
