Tribology Of Aluminium Alloys Against Steel Under Boundary Lubricated Condition
(2009-04-15)
Aluminium silicon alloy has been found to be advantageous in many automobile components like pistons, cylinders, brakes and clutches. The main objective in using these alloys is to obtain lightweight and low friction ...
Development Of Efficient Modeling Methodologies Of Adhesively Bonded Joints For Crash Simulations
(2009-03-12)
In this thesis, a new modeling methodology applicable to adhesively bonded joints for crash simulations is presented. Using this approach, adhesive joints can be modeled without using minute solid elements thus reducing ...
Studies On The Dynamics And Stability Of Bicycles
(2009-02-25)
This thesis studies the dynamics and stability of some bicycles. The dynamics of idealized bicycles is of interest due to complexities associated with the behaviour of this seemingly simple machine. It is also useful as ...
Unsteady Flow Field Downstream Of A Sudden Expansion
(2009-04-02)
Separating and reattaching flows are important in a large number of engineering configurations. The flow through a sudden expansion (backward-facing step) represents a conceptually simple case of this class of flows and hence ...
