Analysis of Unsteady Incompressible Potential Flow Over a Swimming Slender Fish and a Swept Wing Tail
(2018-05-16)This thesis deals with computing the pressure distribution around a swimming slender fish and the thrust generated by its flapping motion. The body of the fish is modeled as a missile like slender body to which a tail is ... -
Dynamic behavior of electro-rheological fluid sandwich beams
Electrorheological (ER) fluids are fluids with controllable rheological properties. The study of change in rheology of suspensions due to application of electric field is of interest both from academic and industrial points ... -
Dynamic Response Of A Satellite With Flexible Appendages And Its Passive Control
(2010-11-25)Most present day spacecrafts have large interconnected solar panels. The dynamic behavior of the spacecraft in orbit can be modeled as a free rigid mass with flexible elements attached to it. The natural frequencies of ... -
Experimental Study Of Plasma Actuator Characteristics And Optimization Of Configuration
(2013-06-26)Plasma actuators are devices which function by creating a discharge in air at atmospheric conditions. These devices have been demonstrated to effectively delay flow separation and enhance the lift- drag characteristics of ... -
Vibration And Impact Induced Sound
(2010-10-22)Sound generated by impacting structures is of considerable importance in noise control. Sound is generated by a vibrating structure by inducing pressure fluctuations in the surrounding medium. Impact induced noise is the ...
