Studies on Flexural Fatigue Behaviour of Plain Concrete – Mechanisms of Crack Growth, Effect of Loading Amplitude, Frequency and Notch Size
Concrete structures such as bridges, pavements and off shore structures are subjected
to fluctuating loading throughout their service life. These fluctuating loads cause progressive internal damage to structures leading ...
Bearings-Only Quadrotor Guidance in Gap Traversal Scenarios
In autonomous missions, quadrotors are often required to safely fly through gaps or openings. Designing traversal guidance strategies becomes crucial in such scenarios, especially when the quadrotor relies on the information ...
Self-sustained oscillations in high-speed cylinder wake flows
Flow in the wake generated by a solid body presents an important class of problems in fluid dynamics, with wide ranging scientific implications and engineering applications. The present work investigates the structure and ...
Multifunctional hydrogels with injectable, self-healing, and shape-morphing capabilities for biomedical applications
In recent years, there has been a notable surge in interest surrounding implantable biomaterials due to their potential applications in treating physical defects and traumas. Hydrogels have garnered growing attention among ...
Multi-component Gas Mixture Separation: Fundamental Studies to Pilot Scale Development and Characterization
Climate change has become one of the significant challenges of the 21st century resulting in increased demand for low-carbon energy carriers to achieve a sustainable future. Thermo-chemical conversion of environmentally ...
On Topological Approaches for Planning of Electro-Mechanical Assemblies
Assembly planning pertains to the process of creating a complete plan for fabricating the product from its constituent parts, considering the final product geometry and resources available at the manufacturing facility. ...
Mixed Variational Approaches in Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics and Discretization by Finite Element Exterior Calculus
Numerical solution techniques for nonlinear elasticity have been an active area of research for a while. Right from the early days, it was recognized that constructing well-performing FE approximations for nonlinear ...
Investigations on Radial Inflow Turbine for Supercritical CO2 Power Cycles
Potential of using supercritical CO2 (sCO2) as a working fluid for the next generation of thermal power plants is being actively pursued by researchers across the world. CO2 has a critical temperature of 31.1 °C and a ...
Modelling and evaluation of nitrate transit times in groundwater systems
Transit time distribution is one of the fundamental descriptors of flow and transport behavior of catchments. Intensification of agriculture and consequent anthropogenic inputs of nitrate rich fertilizers in agricultural ...
Understanding design communication in internet-enabled remote synchronous collaborative design in the early stages of design
Remote synchronous collaborative design necessitates designers to carry out the design process using web-based real-time communication applications for collaboration with co-designers. Design communication involves exchanging ...
