Insights into evaporation, atomization and precipitate formation of polymer droplets
Evaporation of polymer droplets is an active area of interest due to its applications in systems such as ink jet printing, thin films, spray combustors to name a few. Thus, understanding complex dynamics of evaporating ...
Effect of Processing Mg-6zn-0.2ce Through High-pressure Torsion on Its Use as a Biomaterial
Here, we investigate the effect of high-pressure torsion (HPT), a severe plastic deformation process, on the mechanical properties, corrosion, and cytotoxicity of Mg-6Zn-0.2Ce alloy, a candidate material for bioresorbable ...
Investigating and Modelling the Microscopic Pedestrian Behavioral Dynamics in Mass Religious Gatherings
Pedestrian models that can realistically reproduce observed pedestrian movement dynamics are crucial in facility planning and pre-event planning of crowded situations. Despite the elaborate arrangements, crowd disasters ...
Platinum overlayers characterization and fabrication via self-terminating electrodeposition
Hydrogen is considered a promising alternative fuel for the future. However, despite its perception as a “zero-carbon” energy carrier, fossil fuels remain the primary feedstocks for hydrogen production, involving significant ...
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 ...
Morphological Perspectives of Sand Liquefaction and its Mitigation
Liquefaction of soils under seismic conditions has profound implications for infrastructure resilience in earthquake-prone regions. Saturated loose cohesionless granular soils have the tendency to readily lose grain contacts ...
Robust Station-keeping and High-Precision Attitude Control for a Spacecraft on Sun–Earth L1 Halo Orbit
The halo orbits around the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point form an ideal location for deploying a solar observation spacecraft as they offer uninterrupted, long-duration visibility of the Sun. However, the complex orbital and ...
Efficient Learning of Koopman Structures for Model-Based Control of Nonlinear Robotic Systems
Identification of the dynamics of a complex robotic system accurately from first principles is challenging and often infeasible. Simplifying assumptions commonly made in modeling such systems often restrict their scope and ...
Hyperspectral remote sensing for soil property estimation in the context of spectral mixtures
The implementation of sustainable agricultural, hydrological, and environmental management entails an improved understanding of soil properties and its conditions at increasingly finer resolutions. In this context, the ...
Prediction of multi-physical properties of fibre-reinforced composites using deep learning
This work develops a convolutional neural network (CNN) based surrogate model for simultaneous multi-physical property prediction from the binary images of fibre-reinforced composites representative volume elements (RVEs). ...
