Modeling and Analysis of Hybrid Renewable Energy for Power Generation
Renewable energy-based power has gained significant global momentum—to minimize fossil-fuel use, combat climate change, and ensure energy security. While renewable energy (RE) is fast-growing, stand-alone single resource-based ...
Liquefaction Resistance and Cyclic Response of Air - Injected Desaturated Clean Sandy Soil: Experimental and Numerical Investigations
Liquefaction has been one of the major concerns in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering. Various mitigation techniques such as vibroflotation, deep dynamic compaction, explosive compaction, grouting, deep soil ...
Optimization of a higher-order sandwich composite beam under uncertainties
Optimization under uncertainties of structures is a challenging field due to the requirements of high computational resources. The typical approaches include reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) and robust design ...
Aerodynamics of Nose Mounted Propeller Aircraft
The thesis deals with the aerodynamic analysis of a nose-mounted propeller aircraft using the flow solver HiFUN. Unsteady RANS simulations using sliding mesh technology is performed on aircraft with the propeller. The study ...
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 ...
Information Extraction and Mapping for Populating Ontologies in Product Lifecycle Management
Computer-based tools used to manage a product's lifecycle from the cradle to the grave need to share product information across phases. If this information is well structured, accessing, and manipulating such information ...
Mechanical and curing behavior of tetra-functional epoxy reinforced with nano-fillers
Synopsis
Tetra-functional epoxy resins are used as a matrix for aerospace composites owing to their excellent mechanical, adhesive, corrosion resistance and thermal properties. Although epoxy is a high-performance ...
Electrochemical Behavior of Metallic Coatings Containing Carbonaceous Additives
Coatings have been traditionally used for protection against corrosion. Therefore, substantial efforts have been focused on engineering the microstructure and morphology of coatings to enhance their corrosion resistance ...
Fuel Drop Splashing on Heated Solid Surfaces
Droplet-wall interactions on heated surfaces are significantly encountered in applications such as fuel spray impingement in combustors and spray cooling. The present thesis is focused on the splashing of fuel drops on ...
Influence of Surface Topography and Roughness on Lubrication, Friction and Scuffing in High Hardness Steels
In tribology engineering, friction control is a significant challenge. The interacting surfaces of mechanical components are typically designed for best efficiency during tribological operations and are primarily achieved ...
