Inverse problems are very challenging as these problems involve, finding the cause by analyzing the effects. In structural dynamics problems, the effects are normally measured in terms of dynamic responses in structures. ...

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) possess very attractive mechanical properties like high yield strength (~ 2 GPa), high elastic strain limit (2 %), and good corrosion resistance. BMGs display fracture toughness values (in mode ...

Metals and alloys are extensively used to prepare a wide variety of biomedical implants. The commonly employed materials are stainless steel (SS), cp-Ti, Ti-6Al-4V, etc., because of their biocompatibility and corrosion ...

In this thesis we have investigated the structure, property correlation of the lead-free piezoelectric ceramic of (Ba,Ca) (Ti,Zr/Sn)O3 system. A self-consistent set of experimental techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction, ...

The use of adhesives for bonding composites as well as metals is rapidly increasing since it provides uniform load transfer and is free of stress concentration seen around the drilled holes in bolted or riveted joints. ...

In recent years, numerous studies have shown the complexity of plastic deformation in metals. The accuracy in modelling inelastic behaviour holds great significance for engineers as metals and metallic alloys are extensively ...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is getting adopted in various industries like automobile, aerospace, medical, nuclear, defense, and space, amongst many others, in the last five to ten years due to the tremendous advantages of ...

For economical air transportation, aero engines with lower specific fuel consumption, lower emissions and lower noise levels are required. To this end, the use of turbofan engine with high bypass ratio is an option. With ...

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 ...

Frequency analysis procedures are widely used to quantify the risk associated with floods that have devastating consequences worldwide. Conventionally, the frequency analysis is performed based on the annual maximum series ...
