Study Of Multiple Asperity Sliding Contacts
(2016-06-18)Surfaces are rough, unless special care is taken to make them atomically smooth. Roughness exists at all scales, and any surface-producing operation affects the roughness in certain degrees, specific to the production ... -
Study of Non-Equilibrium Flow Behind Normal Shock
(2017-12-10)Normal shock problems in high enthalpy flows are of special interests to aerodynamicists and fluid dynamicists. When the shock Mach number become hypersonic and increasing further, the gas passing through the shock is ... -
Study of Phase Equilibria and Interfacial Properties of Systems Containing Clathrate Hydrates Using Molecular Simulations
Gas hydrates, also known as clathrate hydrates are nonstoichiometric and crystalline solids composed of water and gas molecules. If the gas molecules are natural gas components, such as methane, ethane, propane, etc., ... -
Study Of Solidification And Microstructure Produced By Cooling Slope Method
(2016-05-05)In most casting applications, dendritic microstructure morphology is not desired because it leads to poor mechanical properties. Forced convection causing sufficient shearing in the mushy zone of the partially solidified ... -
Study of Solvent Induced Crystal Polymorphism via Molecular Simulations of Crystal Nucleation
The ability of a compound to exist in different crystal structures is called crystal polymorphism and such crystals of varied spatial arrangement are called polymorphs. The polymorphic forms can differ in their properties ... -
Study of solvent induced polymorphism and crystal nucleation from solution
Crystal polymorphism is the existence of different crystal structures for the same compound. Different polymorphs will have different physical properties, such as solubility and dissolution rate. The early stage of ... -
Study Of Squeeze Film Effects In Modelling Dynamic MEMS Devices
(2011-02-21)We present studies on squeeze film effects in dynamic MEMS devices with a special emphasis on the development of compact analytical models. First, the efficacy of lumped parameter modelling of dynamic MEMS devices is ... -
Study Of Stall Flutter Of An Isolated Blade In A Low Reynolds Number Incompressible Flow
(2015-07-08)Highly-loaded turbomachine blades can stall under off-design conditions. In this regime, the flow can separate close to the leading edge of the blade in a periodic manner that can lead to blade vibrations, commonly referred ... -
Study Of Surface Ordering And Disordering

Study of Synergy between Plastic Deformation Mechanisms, Tribo-oxidation And Mechanically Mixed Layers in Tribology Of Ti-6Al-4V Slid Against SS316L And Alumina
(2017-10-11)Alloys of titanium are highly preferred materials for their excellent strength to weight ratio but the tribological issues while using them has been posing challenging issues for the tribological analyst, which are still ... -
A Study of the Characteristics of Gas-On-Liquid Impinging Injectors
(2018-02-18)The work presented here pertains to investigations on gas-on-liquid type of impinging injectors with a generic approach with prospective applications in several areas, and at places with particular emphasis on cryogenic ... -
Study Of The Effect Of Elasticity Of The Added Mass In Mass Sensing Using Resonant Peak Shift Technique
(2013-05-21)Micromachined biosensors are used in chemical and biological applications. A biosensor which uses mass based transduction is called a mass sensor. Mass sensors are used to detect extremely small mass of biomolecules such ... -
Study of the Seasonal Water Cycle over the Indian Subcontinent and the Southern Ocean using Stable Isotopes in Rainwater and Water Vapor
(2017-11-28)Stable isotope ratios in rainwater and water vapor act as a tracers of the hydrological cycle. The data on stable isotopic composition in rainwater and water vapor are limited due to the lack of observational studies across ... -
A Study of Two Problems in Nonlinear Dynamics Using the Method of Multiple Scales
(2018-08-13)This thesis deals with the study of two problems in the area of nonlinear dynamics using the method of multiple scales. Accordingly, it consists of two parts. In the first part of the thesis, we explore the asymptotic ... -
A Study On Boundary Layer Transition Induced By Large Freestream Disturbances
(2013-06-12)The initial slow viscous growth of the Tollmein-Schlichting wave in a canonical boundary layer transition is absent in bypass and wake-induced transitions. Although there have been a great deal of studies pertaining to ... -
Study on Development of Aluminium Based Metal Matrix Composites Using Friction Stir Processing
(2018-05-14)Composite materials are multifunctional materials having unique mechanical and physical properties that can be tailored to meet the requirements of a particular application. Aluminium based Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) ...
