Computational study of membrane driven secondary structural changes in proteins
Conformational changes in proteins, the most abundant biomolecule found in all living organisms, are ubiquitous and triggered by several factors essential for protein function. Protein conformational changes typically occur ...
Formulations for solving geomechanics stability problems using stress characteristics and finite element limit analysis with power type and Mohr-Coulomb yield criteria
In geotechnical engineering, the stability analysis is often carried out to determine the ultimate collapse load that a geo-structure can possibly withstand. The accurate prediction of the exact collapse load is often very ...
Comprehensive Investigation of the Mechanical Behavior of Nial-x (X=pt, Pd) Alloys: Effect of Composition, Orientation and Temperature
Gas turbine engines in the turbine section operate at temperatures exceeding 1300°C, which can cause high-temperature oxidation and reduce the lifespan of turbine blades. To counter this, thermal barrier coating (TBC) ...
Computational analysis of polymer nanocomposites across length scales
Polymer nanocomposites (PNC) exhibit excellent mechanical properties making them a promising material for several engineering applications. The enhancement in properties is primarily attributed to the toughening and ...
Discrete Velocity Boltzmann Schemes with Efficient Multidimensional Models
Traditional CFD algorithms have achieved a high degree of sophistication for modelling fluid flows in the past five decades. This sophistication can be seen clearly in one dimensional modelling, with a wide variety of ...
Accurate Prediction of Enhancement Factors for Water Flow Through Boron Nitride Nanotubes
Water in nanoconfined spaces, such as nanotubes, exhibit anomalous yet intriguing behaviour compared to bulk water, a better understanding of which can enable us to realize a sustainable future. Nanotubes are atomically ...
Microstructure – texture - mechanical property correlation in additively manufactured stainless Steel 316L and Cu-Ni-Sn
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has gained considerable interest in recent years because of its ability of near net shape building of the components, one-go production, ability to make intricate designs and minimized ...
Towards metal additive manufacturing using alternate powders
Metal powders are predominantly produced using processes derived from atomization, which, apart from being highly energy intensive, are also inflexible and very material specific. These limitations are particularly acute ...
Exploring End-of-Life Photovoltaic (PV) Panel as a Building Material: A Case of Crystalline Silicon PV
The renewable energy share in the energy mix worldwide is rising sharply to mitigate
climate change, with Solar Photovoltaics (PV) carrying a large share of 3.6%. However,
the end-of-life (EoL) management of decommissioned ...
Analysis of Fracture Processes in Steel Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites using Acoustic Emission Testing
Plain concrete has low tensile strength. Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is an
alternative to plain concrete. One of the major reasons of using the SFRC is due to its
high tensile strength. The fracture process ...
