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 ... -
Design And Development Of An Improved Anti-Lock Braking System For Two-Wheelers
(2011-07-12)In today’s fast moving world, automobiles are facing challenges in terms of having to survive road accidents, increasing traffic, bad road-conditions and high/express ways. Brake systems play a vital role in controlling ... -
Effect Of Squeeze Film Flow On Dynamic Response Of MEMS Structures With Restrictive Flow Boundary Conditions
(2011-07-08)There are many ways in which the surrounding media, such as air between an oscillating MEMS structure and a fixed substrate, can affect the dynamic response of a MEMS transducer. Some of these effects involve dissipation ... -
Experimental And Analytical Investigations Into Development Of Double-Tuned Expansion Chambers And Extended Concentric Tube Resonators
(2011-07-08)The performance of an acoustic filter (or muffler) is measured in terms of one of the following parameters: Insertion Loss (IL), Level difference (LD) and Transmission loss (TL). All these three parameters may be evaluated ... -
Dynamics And Stability Of A Launch Vehicle
(2011-07-08)Stability is an important criterion in the design and performance of launch vehicles. Present day launch vehicles have become more and more flexible due to the constraints of weight reduction, necessarily imposed for ... -
Characterization And Lime Stabilization Studies On Artificially Lead Contaminated Soils
(2011-07-08)Hazardous waste substances are solid, semi-solid or non-aqueous liquids that exhibit characteristics of corrosivity, reactivity, ignitability, toxicity and infectious property. Major available options for management of ... -
The Processing, Consolidation And Deformation Behavior Of Bulk Amorphous AI2O3-Y2O3 Ceramics
(2011-07-08)Processing of Bulk Metastable Oxide Ceramics Oxide ceramic materials are extensively used in various modern application domains which require properties such as high temperature stability or creep resistance, wear ... -
Evolution Of Texture And MIcrostructure During Processing Of Pure Magnesium And The Magnesium Alloy AM30
(2011-07-01)Magnesium is the lightest metal that can be used for structural applications. For the reasons of weight saving, there has been an increasing demand for magnesium from the automotive industry. However, poor formability at ... -
Nanotribology Of Emulsified Lubricants
(2011-07-01)In case of metalworking operations, the purpose of lubrication is served by a complex mixture of two or more phases, these mixtures are known as metalworking fluids (MWFs). For many decades oil-in-water emulsions have been ... -
Development Of A New Finite-Volume Lattice Boltzmann Formulation And Studies On Benchmark Flows
(2011-06-30)This thesis is concerned with the new formulation of a finite-volume lattice Boltzmann equation method and its implementation on unstructured meshes. The finite-volume discretization with a cell-centered tessellation is ... -
