Two Inverse Problems In Linear Elasticity With Applications To Force-Sensing And Mechanical Characterization
(2013-06-24)
Two inverse problems in elasticity are addressed with motivation from cellular biomechanics. The first application is computation of holding forces on a cell during its manipulation and the second application is estimation ...
Geometric And Material Stability Criteria For Material Models In Hyperelasticity
(2013-07-17)
In the literature, there are various material models proposed so as to model the constitutive behavior of hyperelastic materials for example, St. Venant-Kirchho_ model, Mooney-Rivlin model etc. The stability of such material ...
Magnesium Matrix-Nano Ceramic Composites By In-situ Pyrolysis Of Organic Precursors In A Liquid Melt
(2013-06-20)
In this thesis, a novel in-situ method for incorporating nanoscale ceramic particles into metal has been developed. The ceramic phase is introduced as an organic-polymer precursor that pyrolyzes in-situ to produce a ceramic ...
Some Critical Issues Pertaining To Deformation Texture In Close-Packed Metals And Alloys : The Effect Of Grain Size, Strain Rate And Second Phase
(2013-05-20)
Crystallographic texture in polycrystalline materials are known to play an important role in tailoring suitable properties for various technological applications. In addition, the evolution of texture provides a profound ...
Investigations On The Properties Of TiN, NbN Thin Films And Multilayers By Reactive Pulsed Laser Deposition
(2013-10-21)
Two technologies, namely Laser Technology and Surface Modification Technology, have made rapid strides in the last few decades. The lasers have evolved from a simple laboratory curiosity to a matured industrial tool and ...
Fatigue Damage Characterization Of Carbon/Epoxy Laminates Under Spectrum Loading
(2013-10-04)
Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites are extensively used in aircraft structures because of its high specific stiffness, high specific strength and tailorability. Though Fibre Reinforced Polymers offer many advantages, they ...
Plastic Deformation During Indentation Of Crystalline And Amorphous Materials
(2013-06-10)
Indentation hardness, H, has been widely used to characterize the mechanical properties of materials for more than a century because of the following advantages of this technique; (1) it requires small sample and (2) the ...
Studies On Bulk And Multilayer Composites Of Nb-Si Alloys
(2013-08-02)
The present thesis deals with Nb-Si alloy composites in both bulk and multilayer forms.
The work has been divided into two parts. First part (chapter 4-6) deals with Nb based
silicides binary and ternary alloys with ...
