A Feasibility Map-Based Framework and Its Implementation for Selection in Engineering Design
(2018-06-26)
A pragmatic method for selecting components and devices from a database or parameterized models is developed in this thesis. The quantitative framework presented here is sufficiently general to accommodate an entire device ...
Analysis of Vehicle Dynamics and Control of Occupant Biodynamics using a Novel Multi-Occupant Vehicle Model
(2018-06-26)
Due to the detrimental effects of ride vibrations on occupants and increasing safety concerns, improvement in vehicle dynamic characteristics has become a key focus of researchers. Typically, ride and handling problems ...
Development of Multipoint Haptic Device for Spatial Palpation
(2018-05-25)
This thesis deals with the development of novel haptic array system that can render distributed pressure pattern. The haptic devices are force feedback interfaces, which are widely seen from consumer products to tele-surgical ...
Semiotic Studies on Holistic Order in Product Design
(2018-02-16)
‘Holistic Order’ is a new term used in this study. In literature, its synonyms such as beauty, order, visual order, and aesthetic order have been in usage for a long time. Historical studies on arts & crafts from philosophical ...
An Advanced Study on Jute-Polyester Composites for Mechanical Design and Impact Safety Applications
(2018-05-14)
Natural fiber-reinforced composites are now finding extensive uses in various fields from household articles to automobiles. These composites can score high compared to common synthetic fiber-based composites, notably glass ...
Natural Hand Based Interaction Simulation using a Digital Hand
(2018-04-12)
The focus of the present work is natural human like grasping, for realistic performance simulations in digital human modelling (DHM) environment.
The performance simulation for grasping in DHM is typically done through ...
Advanced Numerical Approaches for Analysis of Vehicle Ride Comfort, Wheel Bearings and Steering Control
(2018-06-23)
Suspension systems and wheels play a critical role in vehicle dynamics performance of a car in areas such as ride comfort and handling. Lumped parameter models (LPMs) are commonly used for assessing the performance of ...
Mechanical Characterization of Adhesively Bonded Jute Composite Joints under Monotonic and Cyclic Loading Conditions
(2018-03-15)
Fiber-reinforced composites comprise an important class of lightweight materials which are finding increasing applications in engineering structures including body components of automobiles and aircraft. Traditionally, ...
The Effect of Mismatch of Total Knee Replacement Components with Knee Joint : A Finite Element Analysis
(2018-01-10)
It has been noticed that the need for total knee replacement surgery is increasing for Asian region. A total knee replacement is a permanent surgical solution for a patient having debilitating pain in knee joint suffering ...
Finite Element Modeling of Knee Joint to Study Tibio-Femoral Contact Machanics
(2018-05-10)
Articular cartilage covers the articulating ends of diarthrodial joints. It plays a vital role in the function of the musculoskeletal system by allowing almost frictionless motion to occur between the articular surfaces ...
