Interfacial Engineering of Hierarchical Carbon Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Laminates for Mechanical Property Enhancement and Self-healing Ability
Carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy (CFRE) laminates have become a significant component in aircraft industries over the years due to their superior mechanical and highly tunable properties. However, the interfacial area between ...
Enhancement in corrosion resistance of selected high entropy alloys by incorporation of carbon nanotubes
High entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted considerable interest due to their remarkable structural and functional properties. HEAs generally contain 5–13 principal elements with the concentrations of each component lying ...
Small-amplitude Oscillations in Hypersonic Double-cone Flow
Unsteady compressible flows typically pose problems with rich dynamics. The broad concern of this thesis is the shock wave unsteadiness that arises in external high-speed flow over a double-cone body. This unsteadiness is ...
Design and development of lateral force-controlled tribosystems
In a tribo-system, the frictional resistance during a sliding process depends on several parameters. These parameters include the interacting materials, their surface topography, contact conditions such as normal load, ...
Cerium Oxide-based Degradable Polymer Nanocomposites for Bone Tissue Engineering
The incidences of bone-related disorders is growing steeply worldwide because of acute trauma, diseases related to aging, and obesity. Bone has a natural regenerative capacity to repair and regenerate fractures and small ...
Experimental study of the flow of granular media through a horizontal screw feeder system
A significant fraction of the materials handled in the chemical, food-processing, and pharmaceutical industries are particulate in nature. Screw feeder systems are often employed in such scenarios to achieve their bulk ...
Constraining the Lithium Seawater Mass and Isotope Budget: Diagenetic Processes Through Marine Pore Waters
Silicate weathering consumes CO2 and controls cation fluxes to the ocean, thus playing a critical role in modulating long-term seawater chemistry and climate. There are very few markers of seawater chemistry whose value ...
Improved Methods for Filtration, Drainage and Structural Evaluations With and Without Geocomposites for Subsurface Drainage of Pavements
Pavements are continuously exposed to the environment leading to ingress of water from multiple sources that structurally weakens the pavement materials. The conventional solution for drainage requires granular material ...
Anaerobic digestion characteristics of lignocellulosic feedstocks under solid-state stratified bed mode of fermentation
Lignocellulosic feedstocks have become potential materials for conversion to biomethane but possess varying compositions and densities (18-50kg/m3), requiring alternative approaches for evolving sustainable anaerobic ...
Direct Numerical Simulation of Square Vortex Flows
Atmospheric and oceanic flows are often modeled as two-dimensional due to their large planar extents (∼ 1000 km) and small vertical extent (∼ 10 km). Most phenomena in these systems are governed by the theory of two-dimensional ...
