A Finite Element Investigation Of Brittle Fracture During Spherical Nanoindentation Of Thin Hard Films
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-12-14)Hard ceramic films of micrometric thickness deposited on a soft metallic substrate have ushered in a new era in the fabrication of structural, tribological, microelectronic and optical components. The mechanical performance ... -
Geometric modeliing using slice representation
The thesis addresses mainly two issues in geometric modeling, high-level modeling techniques and reconstruction. High-level modeling techniques essentially include boolean operations on objects with same as well as different ... -
Lay Tracks : New approach to automated quadrilateral mesh generation using MAT
This thesis describes Lay Tracks, a new mesh generation algorithm to automatically generate an all quad mesh using the medial axis transform (MAT). LayTracks combines the merits of two popular direct techniques for quad ... -
Studies On Momentum, Heat And Mass Transfer In Binary Alloy Solidification Processes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-06)The primary focus of the present work is the development of macro-models for numerical simulation of binary alloy solidification processes, consistent with microscopic phase-change considerations, with a particular emphasis ... -
The use of dual quaternions in rigid body motion interpolation and visualization
Dual quaternions are an excellent alternative tool to transformation matrices in the study of rigid body motion. They are known to represent the position and orientation of a rigid body in a concise and efficient manner, ...
