Examining Climatic Response, Vulnerability and Adaptation in Rural Indian Dwellings to Climate Change: Case studies in three climatic zones
Buildings have evolved traditionally based on local resources and skills. They predominantly relied on passive climate-response mechanisms to provide indoor comfort. However, contemporary buildings, made primarily of bricks, ...
Inkjet-printed transistors and circuits with two-dimensional semiconductors
The escalating demand for wearables and large-area electronics has intensified the critical need for identifying novel semiconductor materials and technologies. While organic semiconductors offer flexibility and processability ...
Evaluating Nanoporous Graphene for Enhanced Evaporation-Based Separations using Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Amidst the plethora of separation processes used in chemical industries, water purification and bioethanol production are important, given their critical role in mitigating water scarcity and developing sustainable energy ...
Mechanisms and mechanics of mixed-mode (I/II) fracture of magnesium alloys
Magnesium alloys are considered as a desirable substitute for aluminium alloys in automotive structural components due to their high strength-to-weight ratio which is crucial for improving vehicle performance and fuel ...
In situ analysis of large strain deformation in tool-workpiece contacts
Large strain plastic deformation is central to manufacturing operations like metal cutting, rolling, and extrusion. Standard approaches for describing and understanding this deformation, such as analytical methods, numerical ...
Investigating controls on intraseasonal convection and the abrupt seasonal transition in the boundary layer during monsoons
As solar insolation increases in the northern hemisphere during boreal summer, it is
accompanied by an abrupt change in the circulation associated with the monsoons as well as
heightened intraseasonal convective activity ...
Development of computational models for fracture analysis of engineering materials: Application in adhesively and cementitious composites
Composites have become the material of choice in aerospace, marine, and structural engineering due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and design flexibility. Laminated composites and sandwich composite structures ...
Effect of Interface Roughness on Mechanical Strength of Adhesively Bonded CFRP Joints- Experimental and Numerical Studies
Composite materials are well known for their superior properties such as specific strength, specific modulus, tailor-ability in different directions, fatigue resistance, durability, low weight, and low thermal expansion. ...
Monte Carlo Simulations With Novel Sampling Variance Reduction Schemes For Structural Reliability Estimation
The work reported in this thesis is in the area of computational structural reliability modelling. The primary focus of the study is on the estimation of structural reliability using Monte Carlo simulations with sampling ...
Adaptation and Characterization of Fossilized Hydrocarbon Gas Turbine Combustor for Operation with Green Fuel(s): Experimental and Numerical Investigation
Decarbonizing energy conversion systems necessitates the adaptation of conventional fossil-fuel-based systems, which have been designed and optimized over the past century for operation with fossilized hydrocarbons, to ...
