Manipulation of an array of sessile droplets organized in an ordered structure turns out to be of immense consequence in a wide variety of applications ranging from photonics, near field imaging and inkjet printing on one ...

Constraints in input, output, and states are evident in most of the practical systems. Explicitly incorporating these constraints into the control design process leads to its superior performance in general. Therefore, ...

Seawater Intrusion (SWI) into the fresh groundwater aquifers is one of the major hydrological problems in coastal regions. This global issue is aggravated by increasing demands for fresh groundwater due to on-going ...

The discovery of coherent g-g’ microstructure in Co-Al-W and Co-Al-Mo-Nb/Ta systems represents new possibilities for turbine engines materials. Their chemical and mechanical properties are similar to commercially successful ...

The forefront research in the regime of hypersonic flow is intended to focus on improving the overall performance of the existing aerospace vehicles. A high-speed vehicle experiences a high level of aerodynamic heating and ...

Studies on liquid atomization and spray formation in coaxial type atomizers are necessary to improve the performance of liquid propellant rocket engines. Recess ratio, expressed as the ratio of orifice recess length to ...

Uncertainties in estimation of radiative effects of aerosols, pose the primary challenge for the accurate climate impact assessment of aerosols. Especially, over the Indian region which is characterized by significant ...

In this work, an attempt has been made to strengthen the adhesive bonding using various concepts like hybrid joints, dual and mixed adhesive bonded joints. One of the most commonly occurrence of defect in adhesive bonded ...

The current focus of research in Mg alloys is to develop wrought alloys suitable for the automotive industry. The challenges to be overcome are low strength, poor ductility, and high cost associated with wrought Mg‒based ...

In this thesis that is entirely analytical in nature, nonlinear wave propagation in various structural-acoustic waveguide geometries is studied. The waveguides considered include a circular cylindrical waveguide with a ...
