On the analysis of axially loaded Euler-Bernoulli beam using Galerkin, Fourier transform, and Lie symmetry approach
The beam with axial load is one of the fundamental models in the field of physics and engineering. The applications of this model span from a guitar string to the rotating blade of a helicopter. It has an important role ... -
On the Contribution of the Launch Platform towards Acoustic Environment of a Launch Vehicle at Lift-off
A launch vehicle experiences intense acoustic loading in the initial phase of its lift-off due to the noise generated by the rocket exhaust. This affects the launch vehicle structure in addition to sensitive payloads and ... -
On the creep behaviour of Ni based solid solution alloys from binary to quaternary
On the creep behavior of Ni based solid solution alloys from binary to quaternary A power-law relationship between the steady state strain rate (𝜀̇) and imposed stress (σ) is well established so that the 𝜀̇∝𝜎^𝑛, at a ... -
On the development of Fe-containing high entropy alloys with improved strength at high temperatures
The emergence of new multicomponent high entropy alloys (HEA) has opened up new avenues for development of high performance materials for structural applications [1]. Among all of them, the precipitation strengthened HEAs ... -

On the Factors Influencing the Stability of Phases in the Multiferroic System BiFeO3-PbTiO3
(2018-08-11)Rhombohedral perovskite BiFeO3 is a single phase multiferroic compound exhibiting both magnetic (Neel temperature ~370˚C) and ferroelectric (Curie point ~840˚C) ordering well above the room temperature. Ferroelectricity ... -
On the flow-acoustic modelling of the exhaust system of a reciprocating internal combustion engine
Reciprocating machines, such as internal?combustion engines, compressors, etc., are among the dominant producers of noise. For a suitable design of noise?reducing equipment-primarily mufflers-the noise?generating sources ... -
On the migration of maximum tropical rain fall zone in a simple climate model
The aim of this thesis is to understand the seasonal migration of the maximum precipitation zone in the tropics (ITCZ) using a simple climate model. An attempt is also made to extract at least phenomenological answers to ... -
On the mismatch between predicted and measured frequencies in model testing
Mathematical models verified against ground test data are often necessary in the aerospace industry. They are used for predicting system performance in the intended as well as in any altered operating environments. They ... -
On the nature of transonic buffet in a finite span wing
Transonic buffet, or self-sustained shock oscillations caused by shock boundary layer interactions, creates lift and drag fluctuation on the wing of an aircraft. This aerodynamic instability limits the flight envelope of ... -
On The Reduction Of Drag Of a Sphere By Natural Ventilation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-08)The problem of bluff body flows and the drag associated with them has been the subject of numerous investigations in the literature. In the two-dimensional case, the flow past a circular cylinder has been most widely studied ... -
