Continuum Modeling Of Adhesive Interaction Based On Interatomic Potentials
(2018-01-12)
Adhesion between solid bodies plays a prominent role in a wide variety of situations ranging from tribological applications to dust coagulation initiating the formation of planets. It can be due to various reasons like ...
Frequency-Tuning and Dynamic Simulation of Electrostatically Actuated Beams
(2018-01-03)
The resonance frequency of electrostatically actuated micromachined beams can be tuned substantially by applying a DC voltage bias, first by decreasing the frequency until the onset of pull-in and then by increasing it by ...
Studies on the Design of Novel MEMS Microphones
(2018-02-17)
MEMS microphones have been a research topic for the last two and half decades. The state-of-the-art comprises surface mount MEMS microphones in laptops, mobile phones and tablets, etc. The popularity and the commercial ...
A Study of Mode Dependent Energy Dissipation in 2D MEMS Resonators
(2018-02-25)
With the advent of micro and nano electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), there has been rapid development in the design and fabrication of sensitive resonant sensors. Sensitivity of such devices depends on the resonant ...
Studies on Multiphase, Multi-scale Transport Phenomena in the Presence of Superimposed Magnetic Field
(2018-02-28)
Multiphase transport phenomena primarily encompass the fundamental principles and applications concerning the systems where overall dynamics are precept by phase change evolution. On the other hand, multiscale transport ...
Maintaining Underwater Cassie State for Sustained Drag Reduction in Channel Flow
(2018-02-21)
Water droplets tend to bead up on rough or textured hydrophobic surfaces by trapping air on the crevices underneath resulting in “Cassie” state of wetting. When a textured hydrophobic surface is immersed in water, the ...
Correlation Between Structure, Microstructure and Enhanced Piezoresponse Around the Morphotropic Phase Boundary of Bismuth Scandate-Lead Titanate Piezoceramic
(2018-05-11)
Piezoelectric materials find use as actuators and sensors in automotive, aerospace and other related industries. Automotive applications such as fuel injection nozzles and engine health monitoring systems require operating ...
