Design and Development of Force Sensor for measurement of Tactile Friction
The sense of touch, along with the other senses, decides the perception of world around us. We touch, grip, and wear various products in our day-to-day life, be it the constant interaction we have with our mobile phones, ...
Interfacial oscillations and atomization of liquid jets from non-circular orifices
Understanding the flow behaviour of liquid jets discharging from orifices is essential for several applications such as fuel spraying, ink-jet printing, aerosol devices in pharmaceutical industries, micro-machined fuel ...
Longitudinal Acceleration-based Variable Speed Bio-inspired Guidance Law
Most analyses of existing interceptor guidance laws assume the interceptor speed to be constant, which simplifies mathematical analysis and enhances predictability in interception characteristics. In reality, this is not ...
Characterization and Control of Boundary Layer Transition Caused by Distributed Surface Roughness
Distributed roughness occurs over a variety of aerodynamic surfaces such as wind-/gas-turbine blades and aircraft wings in the form of dust, insect strikes, fouling or icing. The disturbances introduced by the roughness ...
Robust Station-keeping and High-Precision Attitude Control for a Spacecraft on Sun–Earth L1 Halo Orbit
The halo orbits around the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point form an ideal location for deploying a solar observation spacecraft as they offer uninterrupted, long-duration visibility of the Sun. However, the complex orbital and ...
Efficient Learning of Koopman Structures for Model-Based Control of Nonlinear Robotic Systems
Identification of the dynamics of a complex robotic system accurately from first principles is challenging and often infeasible. Simplifying assumptions commonly made in modeling such systems often restrict their scope and ...
Potential Applications of Snail Mucus in Cartilage Repair and Fabrication of Porous 3D Scaffolds
Articular cartilage damage is a major challenge in orthopedics. This medical condition is exacerbated by the cartilage's inability to self-repair due to the non-vascularization of the tissue and many other factors. Several ...
Insights into evaporation, atomization and precipitate formation of polymer droplets
Evaporation of polymer droplets is an active area of interest due to its applications in systems such as ink jet printing, thin films, spray combustors to name a few. Thus, understanding complex dynamics of evaporating ...
Effect of Processing Mg-6zn-0.2ce Through High-pressure Torsion on Its Use as a Biomaterial
Here, we investigate the effect of high-pressure torsion (HPT), a severe plastic deformation process, on the mechanical properties, corrosion, and cytotoxicity of Mg-6Zn-0.2Ce alloy, a candidate material for bioresorbable ...
Ground Displacements and Stresses around Single and Twin Tunnels using Analytical and Numerical Approaches
Significant emphasis is given nowadays on exploring underground space- in the form of
tunnels- for (i) fast commuting in urban areas, (ii) connectivity to remote areas under different
weather conditions, (iii) military ...
