Deposition of dispersed phase from flowing dispersions onto a substrate surface is of utmost relevance for various industrial processes like fouling of sparingly soluble salts, such as CaCO3 and CaSO4 in heat exchangers and ...

This thesis deals with motion planning of flexible one-dimensional objects and hyper-redundant serial robots moving in a plane or in three dimensional space. The flexible one-dimensional object is modeled as a continuous ...

Surface texture has been successfully used in many fields to improve the performance of surfaces, in applications like drag reduction, control of wettability, and enhancement of heat transfer. In tribology, surface texture ...

Many natural and technological processes involve spray or cluster of droplets which are subjected to chaotic external environment. Study of the behavior of a single droplet is therefore crucial to understand the dynamics ...

Quadrupeds robots can move on uneven and rough terrain where mobile robots cannot venture. Al-though bipeds have more capabilities, they are inherently unstable and difficult to control. Most quadrupeds today are built ...

Droplet evaporation is ubiquitous to multitude of applications such as microfluidics, surface patterning and ink-jet printing. In many of the process like food processing tiny concentrations of suspended particles may alter ...

Friction Stir Processing (FSP) is emerging as one of the most competent Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) methods for producing bulk ultra-fine grained materials with improved properties. The significant advantage of FSP ...

Endoscopy is an involved clinical practice requiring considerable skill in performing the procedure. Virtual reality together with haptics offers immersive, flexible, and cost-effective platform for training in endoscopic ...
