Analysis Of Dense Sheared Granular Flows
(2011-01-27)
A granular material is a collection of discrete, solid particles of macroscopic size dispersed in an interstitial fluid, in which the fluid has an insignificant effect on the particle dynamics. Because they exhibit fascinating ...
Development Of Gyroless Attitude And Angular Rate Estimation For Satellites
(2011-04-06)
Studies aimed at the development of indigenous low cost star tracker and gyroless attitude and angular rate estimation is presented in the thesis. This study is required for the realization of low cost micro satellites. A ...
Active Vibration Control Synthesis Using Viscoelastic Damping Phenomena
(2011-07-12)
In this thesis, a new method is followed to design an active control system which imparts viscoelastic phenomenological damping in an elastic structure. Properties of a hypothetical viscoelastic system are used to design ...
Time Scale Separated Nonlinear Partial Integrated Guidance And Control Of Endo-Atmospheric Interceptors
(2011-03-17)
To address the concern of classical guidance and control designs (where guidance and control loops are designed separately in an “outer loop – inner loop” structure), integrated guidance and control (IGC) ideas have been ...

Development Of A New Finite-Volume Lattice Boltzmann Formulation And Studies On Benchmark Flows
(2011-06-30)
This thesis is concerned with the new formulation of a finite-volume lattice Boltzmann equation method and its implementation on unstructured meshes. The finite-volume discretization with a cell-centered tessellation is ...
Dynamics And Stability Of A Launch Vehicle
(2011-07-08)
Stability is an important criterion in the design and performance of launch vehicles. Present day launch vehicles have become more and more flexible due to the constraints of weight reduction, necessarily imposed for ...
