Stress-Assisted Pitting Corrosion Studies in Metallic Structures Using Advanced Modeling Methodologies
Pitting corrosion poses a significant threat to deepwater oil and gas production facilities, yet our current understanding of its impact on specific systems such as steel catenary riser (SCR), tensioned leg platforms (TLP), ...
Structural Health Monitoring Accounting for Thermal Variability and Damage using Approximate Bayesian Computation
In structural engineering, damage is characterized as a change in material property,
boundary condition, or geometry. The changes in these properties/parameters lead to
a change in the measured response. The difference ...
Mechanobiology of cell-substrate interactions
Cell adhesion to substrates is a complex process facilitated by focal adhesion (FA) complexes that help them perform vital cellular functions like migration, growth, and division. Cells probe their surroundings through ...
Low Head Hydraulic Pumping – Design, Simulation, and Field Validation of Ram and Turbine Pump in Indian River Basin
Water energy is essential for economic expansion and human development. Social progress
and economic growth depend on meeting water energy needs sustainably. The use of non renewable energy sources for pumping water to ...
A Multiscale Study of the Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Vacancy–grain-boundary Interactions
Grain boundaries (GBs) influence many physical and mechanical properties of crystalline materials. This is primarily because of their interactions with other kinds of defects, such as point and line defects. Such interactions ...
Modelling and Experimental Studies on Dynamic Behaviour of Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors
lectrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) can store and deliver electrical
energy at high power density with long cycle life, and can absorb peak
charge/discharge loads. EDLCs can be used with batteries to insulate ...
Gravity flow of granular materials through a vertical channel
Grains and powders are the second most widely used materials in industries
and daily life after simple fluids. There are a variety of granular materials such
as food grains, detergents, tablets and capsules, fertilizers, ...
Influence of surface topography on wear and debris morphology of polymers
The artificial knee and hip joints comprise a polymer-metal tribological system where soft polymers slide against hard metallic surfaces. When a polymer slides on it, the micro hard asperities remove the polymers in the ...
Inclusive and Eye-Gaze Controlled Human-Robot Interaction for Persons with Severe Speech and Motor Impairment
Most individuals perform various activities of daily living without having to con sciously think and plan about them. People talk, cook their food, move around the house, drive to their workplace and schools, play sports, ...
Understanding the interplay between immune response and virus evolution
RNA viruses are the underlying cause of many human diseases, including the common cold, influenza, dengue fever, and COVID-19. Their ability to evolve rapidly makes them challenging to tackle, resulting in public health ...
