Mechanical Characterization of Carbon Nanotubes and Nanocomposites
(2018-08-14)
Measurement of all the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes is extremely difficult because of its small size. In the present work, all the five transverse isotropic properties of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) ...
Investigations on Supersonic Flow in Miniature Shock Tubes
(2018-08-02)
The emerging paradigms of shockwave research have opened up new horizons for interdisciplinary applications. This has inevitably driven research towards studying the propagation of shockwaves in miniature shock tubes (tube ...
Experimental and Theoretical Studies of Liquid Drop Impact on Solid Surfaces Comprising Smooth and Texture Portions
(2018-08-10)
Solid surfaces featuring a spatial variation of surface wettability along particular directions on their surface, referred to as wettability gradient surfaces, are becoming increasingly important in practical applications ...
Continuous-Curvature Path Planning Using Four Parameter Logistic Curves
Autonomous vehicles perform time and cost effective operations with minimal or no human effort and hence, have the potential to be used in civilian, commercial and military applications. Pertaining to these applications, ...
Modelling Simulation and Statistical Studies of Primary Fragmentation of Coal Particles Subjected to Detonation Wave
(2018-08-11)
Coal is likely to remain an important energy source for the next several hundred years
and hence advances in coal combustion technologies have major practical impact. Detonation combustion of coal initiated by a plasma ...
Experimental Studies on Gaseous Mixing in a Low Area Ratio Rectangular Supersonic Confined Jet
When a supersonic jet passes through a confined passage, it is called as supersonic confined jet. They are encountered in many aerospace applications such as supersonic ejectors, supersonic mixers/purgers, and thrust ...
Constrained Adaptive Control of Nonlinear Systems with Application to Hypersonic Vehicles
Constraints in input, output, and states are evident in most of the practical systems. Explicitly incorporating these constraints into the control design process leads to its superior performance in general. Therefore, ...
Co-operative Destabilization of a Flat Plate Boundary Layer by a Free Stream Convecting Vortex and Wall Suction/Blowing
The stability of wall bounded shear layer at subcritical Reynolds number disturbed by a freestream convecting vortex and unsteady suction/blowing at the wall was studied. A counterclockwise line vortex was convected parallel ...
Experiments on Varying Intensity Air Blasts in Shock Tubes
Abstract
In the recent past, with an increasing number of terrorist activities, blast related research has focused on conducting careful experiments to develop newer protection strategies. As field experiments using ...
Development of Novel Heat Transfer Gauges Based on Large Carbon Clusters to Measure Total as well as Radiative Heat Flux for Planetary Entry Configurations in Hypersonic Shock Tunnels
The quest of travelling beyond earth, preludes with ground based experimental studies, detailed analysis and accurate calculations in the aspects of having a safer design of flying vehicles. As the vehicles plunge into the ...
