Systematic Synthesis And Analysis Of Multi-DOF Toggle Mechanisms For Electrical Switches
(2015-12-07)
Electrical switches are ubiquitous. Performance requirement for a switch is stringent. The operating mechanism mostly decides the performance of an electromechanical switch. However, design of such mechanisms, which involve ...
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 ...
Novel Compression Fracture Specimens And Analysis of Photoelastic Isotropic Points
(2017-10-11)
Compression fracture specimens are ideally suited for miniaturization down to tens of microns. Fracture testing of thermal barrier coatings, ceramics and glasses are also best accomplished under compression or indentation. ...
Generalized Circular and Elliptical Honeycomb Structures/Bundled Tubes : Effective Transverse Elastic Moduli
(2018-01-01)
Omnipresence of heterogeneity is conspicuous in all creations of nature. Heterogeneity manifests itself in many forms at different scales, both in time and space. Engineering domain being an exotic fusion of human creativity ...
Micro-Mechanisms Associated with Friction Stir Welding of Aluminum with Titanium
(2018-01-10)
Out of the known aerospace metal and alloys, Aluminium (Al) and Titanium (Ti) are important due to their unique combination of properties, such as strength, ductility and corrosion resistance etc. For these reasons, welding ...
Shock Wave-boundary Layer Interaction in Supersonic Flow over Compression Ramp and Forward-Facing Step
(2018-01-12)
Shock wave-boundary layer interactions (SWBLIs) have been studied ex-tensively due to their practical importance in the design of high speed ve-hicles. These interactions, especially the ones leading to shock induced ...
Experimental Study of Flow Past a Circular Cylinder with a Flexible Splitter Plate
(2018-01-04)
A circular cylinder is a geometrically simple bluff body that occurs in various practical applications. As with any bluff body, it exhibits large drag forces and a strong fluctuating lift force, both related to the strong ...
Nano Porous Alumina Based Composite Coating for Tribological Applications
(2018-02-06)
Anodisation is a surface treatment process, commonly used to form a protective oxide coating on the surface of metals like aluminium. Anodised coatings, being grown out of the base metal have excellent interface strength ...
Generation, Characterization and Control of Nanoscale Surface Roughness
(2018-01-11)
Surface roughness exists at many length scales-from atomic dimensions to meters. At sub-micron scale, the distribution of roughness is largely dependent on the process that generates the surface through the mechanisms of ...
A Design Concept of a Volumetric Solar Receiver for Supercritical CO2 Brayton Cycle
(2018-01-09)
Recently, the supercritical carbon dioxide (s-CO2) Brayton cycle has been identified as a promising candidate for solar-thermal energy conversion due to its potentially high thermal efficiency (50%, for turbine inlet ...
