(2018-06-05)Flapping-wing micro air vehicle (MAV) is an emerging micro-robotic technology, which has several challenges toward its practical implementation. Inspired by insect flight, researchers have adopted bio-mimicking approach ... -
Design, Control and Experimental Validation of a Robust Adaptive Feedback Linearization Controller for a Quadcopter Manipulator System
A quadcopter manipulator system (QMS) is an aerial robot comprising a quadcopter with a three degree of freedom manipulator mounted at the bottom of the vehicle. An aerial robot can reach otherwise inaccessible ... -
Design, Development And Flight Control Of Sapthami - A Fixed Wing Micro Air Vehicle
(2010-09-21)Two micro air vehicles, namely Sapthami and Sapthami-flyer, are developed in this thesis. Their total weight is less than 200grams each. They fit inside a 30cm and 32cm sphere respectively and carry the commercially available ... -
Determination Of Isopectral Rotating And Non-Rotating Beams
(2016-04-27)In this work, rotating beams which are isospectral to non-rotating beams are studied. A rotating beam is isospectral to a non-rotating beam if both the beams have the same spectral properties i.e; both the beams have the ... -
Development and Application of Kinetic Meshless Methods for Euler Equations
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-10-17)Meshless methods are a relatively new class of schemes for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Their special characteristic is that they do not require a mesh but only need a distribution of points ... -
Development and critical assessment of a new flic method for base flows
The motivation for the present work stems from two complex base flow problems of relevance to satellite launch vehicles, namely the flow about the base of a rocket body containing an exhaust jet and the aerodynamics of ... -
