Active Vibration Control Synthesis Using Viscoelastic Damping Phenomena
(2011-07-12)
In this thesis, a new method is followed to design an active control system which imparts viscoelastic phenomenological damping in an elastic structure. Properties of a hypothetical viscoelastic system are used to design ...
On The Reduction Of Drag Of a Sphere By Natural Ventilation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-08)
The problem of bluff body flows and the drag associated with them has been the subject of numerous investigations in the literature. In the two-dimensional case, the flow past a circular cylinder has been most widely studied ...
Time Scale Separated Nonlinear Partial Integrated Guidance And Control Of Endo-Atmospheric Interceptors
(2011-03-17)
To address the concern of classical guidance and control designs (where guidance and control loops are designed separately in an “outer loop – inner loop” structure), integrated guidance and control (IGC) ideas have been ...
Collision Avoidance And Coalition Formation Of Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vechicles In High Density Traffic Environments
(2014-08-07)
This thesis addresses the problems of collision avoidance and coalition formation of multiple UAVs in high density traffic environments, proposes simple and efficient algorithms as solutions, and discusses their applications ...
Experimental Study On The Impact Of Water Drops On Groove-Textured Surfaces
(2014-09-08)
The interaction of a liquid drop with a solid surface is being actively studied to understand practically encountered scenarios such as the impact of fuel spray droplets onto the walls of engine combustion chamber, the ...
Micro-Blast Waves
(2014-09-02)
The near field blast–wave propagation dynamics has been a subject of intense research in recent past. Since experiments on a large scale are difficult to carry out, focus has been directed towards recreating these blast ...
Computational Studies On Certain Problems Of Combustion Instability In Solid Propellants
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-11-17)
This thesis presents the results and analyses of computational studies on certain problems of combustion instability in solid propellants. Specifically, effects of relaxing certain assumptions made in previous models of ...
