Molecular Simulation of Anisotropic Stress and Structure in polymers
(2018-02-15)This dissertation presents a numerical study using molecular dynamic simulations that interrogates the polymer structure as it is strained continuously in time and correlates it with the stress developed in it. We investigate ... -
Molecular simulation of thermal conductivity in DNA and phonon dispersion in layered materials
Heat conduction plays a key role and is linked to the underneath lattice structure. The heat transfer in soft matter materials like DNA and polymers is seldom understood and is deeply linked to the geometry and functional ... -
Momentum And Enthalpy Transfer In Packed Beds - Experimental Evaluation For Unsteady Inlet Temperature At High Reynolds Numbers
(2013-06-10)Solid propellant gas generators that have high gas capacity are used for fast pressurization of inflatable devices or elastic shells. However, many applications such as control surface actuation, air bottle pressurization ... -
Motion Optimistion Of Plunging Airfoil Using Swarm Algorithm
(2010-06-03)Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are battery operated, remote controlled miniature flying vehicles. MAVs are required in military missions, traffic management, hostage situation surveillance, sensing, spying, scientific, rescue, ... -
Multi-agent Consensus Using Generalized Cyclic Pursuit Strategies
(2009-05-11)One of the main focus of research on multi-agent systems is that of coordination in a group of agents to solve problems that are beyond the capability of a single agent. Each agent in the multi-agent system has limited ... -
Multi-Agent Positional Consensus Under Various Information Paradigms
(2017-02-22)This thesis addresses the problem of positional consensus of multi-agent systems. A positional consensus is achieved when the agents converge to a point. Some applications of this class of problem is in mid-air refueling ... -
Multi-Agent Search Using Voronoi Partition
(2010-08-05)This thesis addresses a multi-agent search problem where several agents, equipped with sensors and communication devices, search an unknown area. Lack of information about the search space is modeled as an uncertainty ... -
Nature Inspired Optimization Techniques For Flood Assesment And Land Cover Mapping Using Satellite Images
(2017-04-21)With the advancement of technology and the development of more sophisticated remote sensing sensor systems, the use of satellite imagery has opened up various fields of exploration and application. There has been an increased ... -
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 ... -
A Neural Network Approach To Rotorcraft Parameter Estimation
(2009-07-03)The present work focuses on the system identification method of aerodynamic parameter estimation which is used to calculate the stability and control derivatives required for aircraft flight mechanics. A new rotorcraft ... -
NEW PERSPECTIVES FOR ANALYZING THE BREAKUP, ENVIRONMENT, EVOLUTION, COLLISION RISK AND REENTRY OF SPACE DEBRIS OBJECTS
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-03-10)In the space surrounding the earth there are two major regions where orbital debris causes concern. They are the Low Earth Orbits (LEO) up to about 2000 km, and Geosynchronous Orbits (GEO) at an altitude of around 36000 ... -
Non-linear Vibration of Beam Immersed in Fluid
In space launch vehicles with liquid propulsion system, various sub-systems like gas bottles, anti-slosh baffles and fluid lines are placed inside the propellant tanks which become partially filled over time during flight. ... -
