In recent years, weight reduction of automobiles is being achieved by using light weight metals like magnesium (Mg) in the form of cast or wrought products. However, the structural application of Mg and its alloys is limited ...

Tissue repair and regeneration is a natural healing process seen in human body in response to injuries and infections. The regenerative capacity of most tissues decelerates with age and its associated pathological conditions. ...

Fluid molecules confined between solid surfaces separated by a few nanometers are of considerable interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology as they undergo structural and dynamical transitions absent in their corresponding ...

Aluminium-copper joints are widely used in electrical applications due to their unique properties. However, joining of these metals by conventional welding techniques is restricted due to the formation of brittle (bulk ...

Friction plays a significant role in bulk plastic deformation processes in controlling the tool life, formability of the work piece material and the quality of the finished product such as, surface finish, microstructure ...

lectrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) can store and deliver electrical energy at high power density with long cycle life, and can absorb peak charge/discharge loads. EDLCs can be used with batteries to insulate ...

This thesis dwells upon several aspects of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics to model elastic and inelastic response of solids. Broadly, the work presented may be categorized into two parts{ one focusing on the ...

The thrust of this thesis is the development of two different kinds of feed-forward control strategy using the semi-active device MR damper to monitor MR damper supply current/voltage. The study develops a feed-forward ...

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 ...

Remediation of the existing MSW dumpsites has received considerable attention these days and there is an urgent need to address this issue in order to maintain the over hygiene of the urban environment. An approach consisting ...
