Continuum Analysis of Cavitation Induced Failure and Tensile Deformation Response of Metallic Glasses & Nanoglasses
Metallic glasses (MGs), which are metals solidified in an amorphous state, have shown attractive mechanical properties such as high strength (up to 5 GPa), yield strain (around 2%) and good corrosion resistance. They ... -
Continuum Modeling Of Adhesive Interaction Based On Interatomic Potentials
(2018-01-12)Adhesion between solid bodies plays a prominent role in a wide variety of situations ranging from tribological applications to dust coagulation initiating the formation of planets. It can be due to various reasons like ... -
Contributions on Index Coding, Coded Caching and Gradient Coding
In this thesis, we cover three major areas, namely, index coding, coded caching and gradient coding. We begin by considering unicast index coding problems where a server broadcasts coded messages over a noiseless channel, ... -
Contributions To Venominformatics : Sequence-Structure-Function Studies Of Toxins From Marine Cone Snails. Application Of Order-Statistics Filters For Detecting Membrane-Spanning Helices
(2009-07-21)Venomous animals have evolved a vast array of peptide toxins for prey capture and defense. Nature has evolved the venoms into a huge library of active molecules with high selectivity and affinity, which could be explored ... -
Control and Safety of Multi-UAV Systems for Collaborative Payload Transportation and Target Tracking
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in reconnaissance, remote sensing, disaster relief, and agricultural applications. Many applications require multiple UAVs to cooperate to complete the assigned tasks. ... -
Control Of High Power Wound Field Synchronous Motor Drives - Modelling Of Salient Pole Machine, Field Oriented Control Using VSI, LCI And Hybrid LCI/VSI Converters
(2013-05-02)This thesis proposes control schemes and converter configurations for high power wound field synchronous motor (WFSM) drives. The model for a salient pole WFSM in any general rotating reference frame is developed which can ... -
Control of shock-induced vortex breakdown in Transonic regime on a slender delta wing body configuration using blowing
Modern high speed aircrafts feature highly swept and low aspect ratio wings, mainly to increase the critical Mach number and reduce the wave drag. A special case of swept wings is wings with triangular planform commonly ... -
Control Strategies for Seamless Transition between Grid Connected and Islanded Modes in Microgrids
(2018-06-14)The popularity of distributed generating (DG) sources have been increasing over the past few years. With the increasing penetration of these DGs, the concept of micro grid is becoming popular. A micro grid is a small power ... -
A Control Systems Approach to Understanding Saccadic Eye Movements
The oculomotor system is extensively studied using concepts of control theory like optimal control, feedback control, and predictive control. But these studies have largely been restricted to investigating the central ... -
Control, Modulation and Testing of High-Power Pulse Width Modulated Converters
(2018-04-02)Experimental research on high-power converters, particularly in an academic environment, faces severe infrastructural constraints. Usually, power source and loads of required ratings are not available. Further, more ... -
Controlled Nanoscale Growth of 2D Materials and Their Heterostructures
Unique ranges of properties of two dimensional (2D) materials foster new opportunities in many scientific and technological fields. Beyond pristine 2D materials, their heterostructures provide more possibilities in real ... -
