Laminated composite structures are susceptible to delamination and debonding during their service life due to their poor out-of-plane interlamellar properties. Such damage can occur either during manufacturing or during ...

The present study concerns experimental and numerical investigation of the combustion of low-calorific value syngas in an optically accessible reverse flow combustion chamber. Several modes of operation are investigated ...

Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs) are considered to be potential contenders amongst the third-generation solar technologies. The primary reason for their popularity has been the possibility of applying various cost-effective ...

Shock boundary layer interactions (SBLIs) rank among the most fundamental problems in high-speed aerodynamics and are a primary concern in hypersonic flows. Shocks at hypersonic speeds are typically strong enough to separate ...

Abstract Fatigue phenomenon is a gradual, permanent, micro structural change that takes place in a material due to the application of repeated loading. In the case of quasi-brittle materials like graphite and concrete, ...

Demonstration of utter stability over the design envelope and identi fication of safe ight envelope is a prerequisite for operational clearance of any new aircraft design. An important step involved in flight flutter ...

Radioactive waste is generally classified as low and intermediate level waste (LILW) and high-level waste (HLW), based on their level of radioactivity and the time taken for decay. The low and intermediate level ...

In this work, studies have been conducted on sprays of methanol and its emulsions with diesel towards assessing the potential of methanol as an alternative fuel for IC engines. Methanol can be used in compression ignition ...

Ribbons exhibit fascinating buckling-dominated behavior under mechanical loading because of a unique combination of geometric dimensions. The recent interest in examining engineering applications of ribbon-like structures ...

With rapid growth of construction rate and lack of suitable land sites for construction, placing building foundations close to each other and on soft-grounds is inevitable. When the foundations are placed close enough on ...
