Synergistic Effect of Electromagnetic Forces on the Failure of Pre-Cracked Thin Metallic Conductors
Finite element method (FEM) simulations were performed, and
distributions of current density, electromagnetic force, and stress fields due to the self induced electromagnetic forces were evaluated in a pre-cracked thin ...
Fracture and Fatigue Behaviour of Notched Plain Concrete Beams: The Role of Theory of Critical Distances and Acoustic Emission
Concrete structures, including buildings, bridges, pavements, and offshore structures,
face a wide range of loading conditions, both static and cyclic. When subjected to
fatigue loading, the response of concrete elements ...
Development of Spatio-Temporal Multi-Task Assignment Approaches for Perimeter Defense Problem
Rapidly evolving technologies in the autonomous operation of Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and associated developments in low-cost sensors have created significant interest among researchers in using them for various ...
Studies on Metal Hydride Based Multifunctional Coupled Thermal Battery Systems
Thermal energy storage systems (TESS) based on chemisorption/thermochemical reactions have several advantages over conventional thermal storage systems based on sensible and latent heat. The advantages include high energy ...
Response of Granular Materials Towards Blast Loading
Granular media, such as sand, soil, and rocks, are commonly encountered in various engineering
and geotechnical applications, and their response to blast loading is of significant interest. In this
master’s thesis, the ...
Experimental and numerical study of mechanics and mechanisms of mode I fracture of a textured magnesium alloy
In recent years, magnesium alloys have gained increasing application in the automotive industry to achieve weight reduction in vehicle components which is crucial for enhancing fuel efficiency and meeting stringent emission ...
Effect of High Pressure Torsion Processing on Precipitate Containing Alloys
Severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes yield excellent grain refinement in metallic materials by application of very large shear strains while retaining the initial sample dimensions. Its effects on simultaneously ...
Robust Numerical Modeling of Adhesively-Bonded Joints for Safety Assessment of Vehicle Body Structures Subjected to Extreme Loading
Continuous adhesively-bonded joints can lead to stiffer vehicle body structures in contrast to conventional spot-welded steel sheet metal-based unitized vehicle body design. For a given target stiffness, adhesive bonding, ...
Shear Behaviour of GCL-Sand Interrfaces under Static and Dynamic Conditions
Geosynthetic clay liners (GCL) are unique geocomposites that combine the beneficial
properties of bentonite clay and geosynthetics in providing effective hydraulic barriers in
landfill systems. In landfills, GCLs form ...
A Fundamental Investigation Of Discrete Liquid, Gas And Fines Flow In A Random Packed Bed Along With Applications
The discontinuous nature of liquid flow in a random packed bed is observed in many chemical engineering and metallurgical applications like blast furnace and heap leaching. So, to model the liquid flow in these systems, ...
