Water in nanoconfined spaces, such as nanotubes, exhibit anomalous yet intriguing behaviour compared to bulk water, a better understanding of which can enable us to realize a sustainable future. Nanotubes are atomically ...

Modern mission requirements for long-range maneuverable hypersonic vehicles for space, military, and transportation applications necessitate vehicle design innovations. The primary challenges that a hypersonic vehicle ...

Majorly reliant on petroleum products, the transportation sector accounts for 25% of the global energy demand and 23% of carbon dioxide emissions. Among all the modes of transportation, road vehicles are the primary sources ...

Rotating components such as reaction wheels and momentum wheels on spacecraft generate micro-vibrations up to 250 Hz during on-orbit operations. While the use of Gough-Stewart Platforms (GSPs) for six degrees of freedom ...

Crystallization of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is a critical processing step in the pharmaceutical industry. It traditionally involves supercooling mother liquor in jacketed vessels to induce crystallization ...

Due to several perceived advantages, supercritical Carbon dioxide (sCO2) cycles are viewed as potential replacements for steam-based power generation. Their successful deployment depends on several factors - one important ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have garnered attention for their remarkable mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, making them valuable in various applications. CNTs are particularly advantageous in aerospace structures ...

Soil erosion and sediment transport are natural processes primarily driven by water. However, excessive human interference through agriculture, urbanization, and the construction of water storage reservoirs has significantly ...

Water is fundamental to human life, sustaining ecosystems, supporting livelihoods, and underpinning human well-being. Despite its importance, water scarcity is a growing global issue due to population growth, economic ...

The work done in this thesis falls under the broad category of computational mechanics. This thesis addresses the computational challenge of high-dimensional regression and interpolation within the framework of a proper ...
