Negotiator Initiated Connectivity Restoration in Partitioned Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are groups of sensors, connected by communication links, spread over the area of interest, to perform a specific task. The network may get partitioned into clusters due to unanticipated ... -
A Neural Network Approach To Rotorcraft Parameter Estimation
(2009-07-03)The present work focuses on the system identification method of aerodynamic parameter estimation which is used to calculate the stability and control derivatives required for aircraft flight mechanics. A new rotorcraft ... -
Neuromorphic solution to the inverse kinematic, problem of serial manipulators
A serial manipulator is a chain of alternating 搄oints� (revolute or prismatic) and 搇inks,� with one end fixed and the free end having an end?effector attached. For a manipulator to perform any task, one of the main problems ... -
New Approaches to At-site and Regional Frequency Analysis of Hydrologic Extremes in Peaks Over Threshold Framework
Frequency analysis procedures are widely used to quantify the risk associated with floods that have devastating consequences worldwide. Conventionally, the frequency analysis is performed based on the annual maximum series ... -
New Approaches to Estimate Probable Maximum Precipitation Under Stationary and Non-Stationary Climate
Probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimation has significance, as floods triggered by PMP are widely used for risk analysis of critical infrastructures (e.g., large dams and nuclear power plants), whose failure could ... -

(2009-04-02)Rigid multibody systems have been studied extensivley due to its direct application in design and analysis of various mechanical systems such as robots and spacecraft structures. The dynamics of multibody system is governed ... -
A New Mathematical Framework for Regional Frequency Analysis of Floods
(2018-06-19)Reliable estimates of design flood quantiles are often necessary at sparsely gauged/ungauged target locations in river basins for various applications in water resources engineering. Development of effective methods for ... -
New Mechanical Methods to Join Sheets in Lap and Butt Configuration and Analytical Model to Predict and Improve Clinching Joint Strength
Mechanical joining of sheets has many advantages over other joining methods in terms of wide variety combination of similar, dissimilar and non-metallic material sheet joining. In conventional SPR joining, the rivet and ... -
New parameterization of atmospheric heating for simple models of relelvance to ENSO
The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, which is one of the strongest signals of interannual variability in the tropics, arises out of strong interactions between the tropical ocean and the atmosphere. ... -
NEW PERSPECTIVES FOR ANALYZING THE BREAKUP, ENVIRONMENT, EVOLUTION, COLLISION RISK AND REENTRY OF SPACE DEBRIS OBJECTS
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-03-10)In the space surrounding the earth there are two major regions where orbital debris causes concern. They are the Low Earth Orbits (LEO) up to about 2000 km, and Geosynchronous Orbits (GEO) at an altitude of around 36000 ... -
New Solution Methods For Fractional Order Systems
(2010-09-24)This thesis deals with developing Galerkin based solution strategies for several important classes of differential equations involving derivatives and integrals of various fractional orders. Fractional order calculus finds ... -
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (Nvh) and Energy Efficiency Analysis of Lubricant Oils in Boundary Lubrication Using Force-controlled Tribometers
Tribological performance and the Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) characteristics of lubricants are critical to ensuring the durability and comfort of mechanical systems, especially under boundary lubrication. Despite ... -
