Influence of Surface Topography and Roughness on Lubrication, Friction and Scuffing in High Hardness Steels
In tribology engineering, friction control is a significant challenge. The interacting surfaces of mechanical components are typically designed for best efficiency during tribological operations and are primarily achieved ...
Time Domain Spectral Finite Element Simulation of Ultrasonic Wave Propagation in Composite with Defects
Ultrasonic guided wave-based detection of structural defects or damages is one of the promising methods for structural health monitoring (SHM). A significant proportion of structural elements in an aircraft structure and ...
Eutectic microstructures: Role of interfacial energy anisotropy and diffusivities
Eutectic alloys find a wide application in industrial cast alloys, solder alloys, and in the emerging field of functional materials. Apart from technological applications, multiphase eutectic alloys have also received keen ...
Intelligent Gaze Controlled Interface for Limited Mobility Environment
Eye movement-based Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has become a significant area of research in computer science. The gaze-based computing devices allow a computer to be controlled using only eye movements, which can be ...
Effect of off-stoichiometry, grain size and chemical substitution on microstructure, global structure, electromechanical and energy storage properties of lead free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) based piezoceramics
Ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials, especially the polycrystalline ceramics, are promising candidates for application in pressure sensors, actuators, transducers, ultrasonic motors, energy storage capacitors, ...
Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Mixed-mode Fracture Behavior of Basal Textured Magnesium Alloys
Magnesium alloys are finding tremendous applications in automobile and aerospace industries owing to their low density, high specific strength, good machinability and damping characteristics. However, their structural ...
Structural sensitivity of the precessing vortex core instability in swirled jets
This thesis performs an LES study of the flow through a swirling nozzle. The nozzle has
one single stream with swirl being generated by vanes mounted on an axially aligned
centrebody. The end face of the centrebody ...
Evaluation of Low-stress High-temperature Creep: Insights into the Harper-dorn Creep
The theory of creep behavior of single crystals and polycrystalline materials having large grains at very low-stresses and at very high temperatures, as originally proposed by Harper and Dorn in 1957, has been under constant ...
Turbulent Free Convection Over Horizontal Surfaces
This thesis deals with turbulent free convection in a horizontal fluid layer above a heated
surface. The work can be roughly divided into two parts. In the &st part a model
is proposed for the near wall dynamics in ...
Measuring Three-dimensional Deformations of Elastic Ribbons
Experimental techniques to measure and visualize kinematics in structural
and solid mechanics range from humble strain gage rosettes to sophisticated
digital image correlation methods. This thesis develops a stereo ...
