Frequency-Tuning and Dynamic Simulation of Electrostatically Actuated Beams
(2018-01-03)The resonance frequency of electrostatically actuated micromachined beams can be tuned substantially by applying a DC voltage bias, first by decreasing the frequency until the onset of pull-in and then by increasing it by ... -
Frequent Episode Mining: Efficient Discovery Algorithms and Significance Analysis
Frequent Pattern mining is a popular area of data mining, where the goal is to unearth interesting patterns that occur often in a given data. A pattern is a local structure that captures correlations and dependencies present ... -
Fringe Projection Technique for Deformation Measurements under Impact Loading
(2018-07-05)High-resolution three-dimensional (3D) shape reconstruction of objects has huge potential for applications in the field of design, security, entertainment, biomedicine, industrial quality control etc. Of the available ... -
From collective relaxation phenomena to phase separation in binary mixtures and some contributions to the hydration dynamics in the vicinity of biologically active molecules
The thesis presents detailed results of theoretical analyses based on extensive computer simulation studies with an aim to explore, quantify whenever possible, and understand the collective excitations, relaxation processes ... -
From Impact to Encapsulation: Advancing Droplet Technologies with Liquid Marbles
Droplets, in their myriad forms and functions, have become indispensable players in the world of microreactors, drug delivery systems, crystallization studies, and cell culture platforms. These tiny, self-contained units ... -
From Independent Control to Self Propulsion of Helical Nanoswimmers : Towards All Magnetic Active Matter
There has been a surge of interest in recent years to design and fabricate various types of motile micro/nanoparticles that can be maneuvered using chemical, optical, thermal, electrical or magnetic energy sources. A ... -
From Molecular To Supramolecular : Probing Soild State Self-Assemblies Of Conformationally Locked Polycyclitols And Their Structural Siblings
(2013-07-26)(FOR FIGURES REFER THE MAIN PDF FILE) Supramoleculr chemistry, aptly termed by Lehn as the study of molecular sociology, is the chemistry of the intermolecular bond, focusing on the structures and functions of “supermolecules” ... -
From Multidimensional non-Markovian Rate Theory to Diffusion-Entropy Scaling and Investigations into the validity of Hydrodynamic Stokes Law
Multidimensional rate theory provides a theoretical framework for understanding chemical reactions that occur in systems with more than one reaction coordinate, such as isomerization reactions, protein folding, or electron ... -
From Particles to People: Vicsek-Inspired Behavioural Modelling Frameworks
In this thesis, we develop different modelling frameworks to capture the processes of opinion formation and disease spread. The common theme binding them is a nearest-neighbour-based interaction rule; while the closeness ... -
From Synthesis To Applications Of Pristine And Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes
(2015-07-13)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are well known as excellent electrical conductors. However, their transport properties are limited by electrical breakdown in ambient. Moreover, the electronic properties can further be modulated ... -
From Transformation to Therapeutics : Diverse Biological Applications of Shock Waves
(2018-02-26)Chapter–I Introduction Shock waves appear in nature whenever the different elements in a fluid approach one another with a velocity larger than the local speed of sound. Shock waves are essentially non-linear waves that ... -
Fuel Drop Splashing on Heated Solid Surfaces
Droplet-wall interactions on heated surfaces are significantly encountered in applications such as fuel spray impingement in combustors and spray cooling. The present thesis is focused on the splashing of fuel drops on ... -
Fuel Filim Visualization And Measurement In The Inlet Manifold Of A Carbureted Spark-Ignition Engine
(2013-10-01)In order to meet future emission norms for small carbureted SI engines, such as those used on motorcycles in India, there is a need to study mixture preparation, specifically the two-phase flow exiting the carburetor and ... -
