Bioinspiration for battling bacteria: Nature inspired high aspect ratio nanostructures for new age antibacterial surfaces
Bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces effectuate corrosion,
fermentation, and infection resulting in tremendous economic and human losses each year.
Aggravating the situation, new multi-drug ...
High-Throughput Bending Tests for Investigating Creep Behavior Affected by Structural and Microstructural Inhomogeneities
The bending of cantilevers is an alternate technique for the extraction of power-law creep parameters of materials. It has been shown earlier that in homogeneous systems showing tension-compression symmetry, digital image ...
Hyperspectral remote sensing for soil property estimation in the context of spectral mixtures
The implementation of sustainable agricultural, hydrological, and environmental management entails an improved understanding of soil properties and its conditions at increasingly finer resolutions. In this context, the ...
Microstructure-Corrosion Property Correlation in Electrodeposited Sn and Cu Based Coating Systems
Conventional metallic coatings are widely used for protection against corrosion. This study investigates the correlation between microstructure and corrosion properties in SnCr and CuCr electrodeposited coatings. The wide ...
Investigating Ocular and EEG parameters for pilot’s cognitive load estimation using flight simulators
Present day aircraft systems are becoming incredibly complicated with the advent of new technologies. As per International civil aviation organization’s safety report, failure of mechanical or any physical hardware has ...
Understanding deformation mechanisms in the Hall-Petch breakdown regime of Ni-W alloys
The substantially higher strengths of nanocrystalline metals has been to attributed to the well-known Hall-Petch relationship σ= σ_o+k_HP d^(-1/2) where 𝜎 is the yield stress, 𝜎𝑜 is the lattice friction stress, 𝑑 is ...
Prediction of multi-physical properties of fibre-reinforced composites using deep learning
This work develops a convolutional neural network (CNN) based surrogate model for simultaneous multi-physical property prediction from the binary images of fibre-reinforced composites representative volume elements (RVEs). ...
Studies on Two-Stage Air-Cooled Silica gel + Water Adsorption Cooling System
Adsorption cooling systems are evolving as promising complements to conventional vapor compression refrigeration (VCR) systems because of their ability to utilize low-grade heat sources such as industrial waste heat, solar, ...
Seismic evaluation of 3D tunnels in near fault ground motion using domain reduction method
Underground tunnels are an essential part of transportation and utility networks, and their vulnerability to earthquakes has significant socio-economic impacts. Tunnels have suffered substantial damage in past earthquakes, ...
Experimental and Numerical Evaluation of Mechanical Response of Unsaturated Soils and Their Application to Embankments and Footings
Naturally, soils are rarely fully saturated, and climatic and environmental conditions frequently cause moisture content to change. Due to the varying climate changes and its effects on compacted engineering structures, ...
