Aeroelastic Analysis And Optimization Of Composite Helicopter Rotor With Uncertain Material Properties
(2011-04-06)Incorporating uncertainties in the aeroelastic analysis increases the confidence levels of computational predictions and reduces the need for validation with experimental or flight test data. Helicopter rotor blades, which ... -
Aeroelasticity of Flapping Wings towards Micro Air Vehicle Applications
Studies have revealed that insect like flapping flight can serve as a benchmark in designing Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) owing to its power efficiency and high maneuverability. Primarily envisioned as agents facilitating ... -
Aerosol Absorption And Source Characteristics Over Different Environments
(2010-11-02)Extremely fine liquid droplets or solid particles, those remain suspended in the air, are known as aerosols. They are produced by natural sources and anthropogenic activities. Several types of aerosols produced by different ... -
Aggregate and Disaggregate-level Models of Public Transit Ridership in Bengaluru, India
Ridership forecasting models are valuable tools for public transit agencies to assess and quantify the possible impacts of their operational strategies and service improvements on transit demand and revenue. Although ... -
Air-Assited Atomization Strategies For High Viscosity Fuels
(2016-02-25)Atomization of fuel is an important pre-requisite for efficient combustion in devices such as gas turbines, liquid propellant rocket engines, internal combustion engines and incinerators. The overall objective of the present ... -
Air-Sea Flux Measurements Over The Bay Of Bengal During A Summer Monsoon
(2009-03-19)Majority of the rain producing monsoon systems in India form or intensify over the Bay of Bengal and move onto the land. We expect the air-sea interaction to be a crucial factor in the frequent genesis and intensification ... -
ALE-based Monolithic Finite Element Strategies for Fluid Structure Interaction Problems
Fluid-structure interactions (FSI) represent a class of engineering problems which involve a two-way coupling between the solid motion and the fluid flow. The deformation of the solid caused by the fluid forces at the ... -
Algal Bioprocess Development for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment and Biofuel Production
(2017-11-24)Rapid urbanization has led to the generation of enormous wastewater after independence. The domestic wastewater generated in municipalities is rich in nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus along with other ions. ... -
Algiculture - A Novel Algae Cultivation Technique for Sustinable Algal Biofuel Production and Capture of Green House Gases
Algal biofuel has been shown to have great potential to solve the World’s sustainable energy crisis but technologies for large-scale cultivation are still elusive. While photobioreactors meet very high value algal products ... -
Alternative Mechanisms for Size Control in Synthesis of Nanoparticles - Population Balance Modelling and Experimental Studies
(2018-04-06)The extensive growth of nanotechnology has necessitated the development of economical and robust methods for large scale production of nanomaterials. It requires detailed quantitative understanding of lab-scale processes ... -
Anaerobic digestion characteristics of lignocellulosic feedstocks under solid-state stratified bed mode of fermentation
Lignocellulosic feedstocks have become potential materials for conversion to biomethane but possess varying compositions and densities (18-50kg/m3), requiring alternative approaches for evolving sustainable anaerobic ... -
