Mechanisms and mechanics of mixed-mode (I/II) fracture of magnesium alloys
Magnesium alloys are considered as a desirable substitute for aluminium alloys in automotive structural components due to their high strength-to-weight ratio which is crucial for improving vehicle performance and fuel ... -
Investigating controls on intraseasonal convection and the abrupt seasonal transition in the boundary layer during monsoons
As solar insolation increases in the northern hemisphere during boreal summer, it is accompanied by an abrupt change in the circulation associated with the monsoons as well as heightened intraseasonal convective activity ... -
Evaluating Nanoporous Graphene for Enhanced Evaporation-Based Separations using Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Amidst the plethora of separation processes used in chemical industries, water purification and bioethanol production are important, given their critical role in mitigating water scarcity and developing sustainable energy ... -
In situ analysis of large strain deformation in tool-workpiece contacts
Large strain plastic deformation is central to manufacturing operations like metal cutting, rolling, and extrusion. Standard approaches for describing and understanding this deformation, such as analytical methods, numerical ... -
Development of computational models for fracture analysis of engineering materials: Application in adhesively and cementitious composites
Composites have become the material of choice in aerospace, marine, and structural engineering due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and design flexibility. Laminated composites and sandwich composite structures ... -
XR and AI based Human in the Loop Assistance for Industry X.0 and above
The current generation of Industry 4.0 integrates automation and data in manufacturing, while the upcoming generation, Industry 5.0, aims to enable seamless interaction between humans, robots, and machines for sustainable ... -
Experimental and Numerical Studies of Multiturn Multiplane Pulsating Heat Pipes
Embargo up to 15/1/2027 A Pulsating Heat Pipe (PHP) is a wickless meandering capillary tube bent back and forth parallel to itself. PHPs are classified into single and multiturn, closed-loop and open-loop. A single loop ... -
Developing Frameworks for Evaluating Sustainable Transportation Measures in terms of Quality of Life
The transportation system is one of the main pillars impacting Quality of Life (QOL) as it fulfills people's basic needs by providing access to daily activities. Rapid urbanization, with more people migrating to urban areas ... -
Sustainable Strategies for E-Waste Management: Bio- Derived Substrates and Heavy metal Remediation Techniques
Monitoring pollution levels and extent is crucial for preserving our environment's sustainability. Advances in the technology sector, facilitated by new materials and methods, have significantly improved. Nonetheless, these ... -
Aerobreakup of a Polymeric Droplet
Aerobreakup of a liquid droplet refers to the process of breaking the droplet into smaller fragments by subjecting it to a sufficiently high-speed stream of gas (generally air). This process lies at the core of various ... -
Effect of Microstructural Evolution on the Electrochemical Degradation Behaviour of Electrodeposited Tin-Based Coatings
The electrodeposited/electroplated Sn has been used as a protective coating to enhance corrosion resistance, anode material for rechargeable Li-ion battery as an alternative to graphite, decorative finishes, and electronic ... -
Additive Manufacturing of Titanium Alloys for Orthopaedic applications: Processing-Microstructure-Property-Function Relationship
Metallic materials are used for osteosynthesis, and outcomes are expected to be complete healing. The latter part generally becomes unachievable when human subjects need complicated surgery. This situation generally requires ... -
Poleward propagating Tropical Intraseasonal Oscillations over the Indian Ocean
The mechanisms of poleward propagation of tropical intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) are not well-understood. In this thesis, we investigate this issue for two such tropical ISOs over the Indian Ocean, namely, the Boreal ... -
Role of equatorial convection and moisture in the structure and propagation of Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillations
Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation (BSISO) is the dominant mode of tropical variability during Boreal summers. BSISO is manifested by northward propagation of the Maximum Cloud Zone (MCZ) from the warm equatorial ... -
A geochemical and Ca-Sr-Nd isotopic study of glacial diamictites, loess and saprolites to understand crustal growth and silicate weathering
Earth is the only rocky planet in the Solar System with a compositionally evolved (felsic) continental crust. This incompatible element enriched layer is dominantly formed by extraction of melt from the upper mantle leading ... -
Effect of Interface Roughness on Mechanical Strength of Adhesively Bonded CFRP Joints- Experimental and Numerical Studies
Composite materials are well known for their superior properties such as specific strength, specific modulus, tailor-ability in different directions, fatigue resistance, durability, low weight, and low thermal expansion. ... -
Examining Climatic Response, Vulnerability and Adaptation in Rural Indian Dwellings to Climate Change: Case studies in three climatic zones
Buildings have evolved traditionally based on local resources and skills. They predominantly relied on passive climate-response mechanisms to provide indoor comfort. However, contemporary buildings, made primarily of bricks, ... -
Multifunctional Biomaterials based on Polyacrylamide/Hydroxyapatite for magnetic biosensing and Musculoskeletal Repair
The development of advanced nanocomposites for musculoskeletal repair represents a significant leap in biomedical engineering. These nanocomposites leverage the properties of hydrogels and hydroxyapatite (HAP) to address ... -
Computational Approaches to Engineering Antibody Responses to HIV
Efforts are underway to devise interventions that would control HIV infection without the need for lifelong antiretroviral therapy. A key strategy involves the elicitation of endogenous antibodies that can neutralise diverse ... -
Adaptation and Characterization of Fossilized Hydrocarbon Gas Turbine Combustor for Operation with Green Fuel(s): Experimental and Numerical Investigation
Decarbonizing energy conversion systems necessitates the adaptation of conventional fossil-fuel-based systems, which have been designed and optimized over the past century for operation with fossilized hydrocarbons, to ...
