Resin flow in porous preform during VARTM: A theoretical and experimental investigation
In recent times, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have received enormous attention
due to their exhibited improved mechanical properties, lightweight and design
flexibility to manufacture large structures as an ...
Development of Support for Assessment of Creativity, Novelty and Requirement Satisfaction in Designing
The topic of this research in this thesis is creativity assessment of solutions developed in the engineering design process as a means of aiding designers to focus their creative effort during the process. Both engineering ...
Control of shock-induced vortex breakdown in Transonic regime on a slender delta wing body configuration using blowing
Modern high speed aircrafts feature highly swept and low aspect ratio wings, mainly to
increase the critical Mach number and reduce the wave drag. A special case of swept wings
is wings with triangular planform commonly ...
Development of a Flexible Actuator and Motion Planning for Endoscopic Robots
Endoscopy is a procedure by which a long
flexible device called the `endoscope' is inserted
into a patient's gastro-intestinal(GI) tract primarily for diagnosis. An endoscope is typically
equipped with a camera, ...
On late stages of transition in round jets
A round jet is one of the simplest canonical axisymmetric free shear flows that occur both
in engineering applications and natural phenomena. A laminar-turbulent transition process
is inherent to its development involving ...
Implicit Gradient Reconstruction for Unstructured Mesh Finite Volume Method
In the present work, an Implicit Gradient Reconstruction (IGR) method is proposed in the
context of Finite Volume Methodology (FVM). There are three computationally intensive steps
involved in a typical finite volume ...
Resource Allocation for Natural Disasters using a Game-theoretic Framework
The occurrence of a severe natural disaster causes loss of life and
destruction of properties. The overall criticality of the disaster depends
on the nature of the disaster and the physical characteristics of
the affected ...
Experimental Studies on Co-current downdraft Biomass Gasifier
The main theme of the work carried out and reported in this thesis is to understand the processes involved in a co-current downdraft biomass gasification reactor and to analyse the data obtained with an attempt to provide ...
Constrained Optimal Guidance Design of Interceptors for High-Speed Ballistic Targets
In this thesis, optimal control theory has been applied to design constrained terminal guidance algorithms for interceptor to destroy incoming high speed ballistic targets. There exist several optimal guidance algorithms ...
Negotiator Initiated Connectivity Restoration in Partitioned Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are groups of sensors, connected by communication links, spread over the area of interest, to perform a specific task. The network may get partitioned into clusters due to unanticipated ...
