UAV Group Autonomy In Network Centric Environment
(2016-11-23)It is a well-recognized fact that unmanned aerial vehicles are an essential element in today’s network-centric integrated battlefield environment. Compared to solo UAV missions, multiple unmanned aerial vehicles deployed ... -
Ultra High Compression For Weather Radar Reflectivity Data
(2007-10-09)Weather is a major contributing factor in aviation accidents, incidents and delays. Doppler weather radar has emerged as a potent tool to observe weather. Aircraft carry onboard radars but their range and angular resolution ... -
Ultrasonic Guided Wave Based Models, Devices and Methods for Integrated Structural Health Monitoring
(2018-01-31)Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems for future structures and vehicles would involve a process of damage identification and prediction of certain quantities of interest that concerns the function and safety. This ... -
Uncertainty modeling and analysis of aerospace structures
Aerospace structures are different from other structures due to the difference in the required properties for an aerospace application. The primary motivation of this kind of structure lies in its lightweight nature, ... -
Understanding High Speed Mixing Layers with LES and Evolution of Urans Modeling
(2017-11-15)This thesis is concerned with studies on spatially developing high speed mixing layers with twin objectives: (a) to provide enhanced and detailed understanding of spatial development of two-dimensional mixing layer emanating ... -
A Unified Framework For Micromechanical Damage Modeling In Laminated Polymer Matrix Composites
A unified numerical framework for progressive damage analysis in polymer matrix composite (PMC) laminates has been developed by explicitly accounting for damage progression at the micro-level. A three-dimensional repeating ... -
A Unified, Configurable, Non-Iterative Guidance System For Launch Vehicles
(2011-02-10)A satellite launch vehicle not subjected to any perturbations, external or internal, could be guided along a trajectory by following a stored, pre-computed steering program. In practice, perturbations do occur, and in order ... -
Vibration And Impact Induced Sound
(2010-10-22)Sound generated by impacting structures is of considerable importance in noise control. Sound is generated by a vibrating structure by inducing pressure fluctuations in the surrounding medium. Impact induced noise is the ... -

(2018-05-14)Vision-based conventional landing of a fixed wing UAV is addressed in this thesis. The work includes mathematical modeling, interface to a software for rendering the outside scenery, image processing techniques, control law ... -
Vorticity and scalar transport in turbulent round jets with and without heating
The round turbulent jets are ubiquitous in both natural and engineered systems such as clouds, engine exhausts, chimney plumes, and respiratory flows. We aimed to understand the vorticity and scalar transport in turbulent ... -
Wave Propagation in Adhesively Bonded Single Lap Joints: Solution of Forward and Inverse Problems
The use of adhesives for bonding composites as well as metals is rapidly increasing since it provides uniform load transfer and is free of stress concentration seen around the drilled holes in bolted or riveted joints. ... -

Wave Propagation in Healthy and Defective Composite Structures under Deterministic and Non-Deterministic Framework
(2018-03-08)Composite structures provide opportunities for weight reduction, material tailoring and integrating control surfaces with embedded transducers, which are not possible in conventional metallic structures. As a result there ... -
Wave Propagation In Hyperelastic Waveguides
(2014-06-20)The analysis of wave propagation in hyperelastic waveguides has significant applications in various branches of engineering like Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation, impact analysis, material characterization and damage ... -
Wave Propagation in Sandwich Beam Structures with Novel Modeling Schemes
(2017-10-31)Sandwich constructions are the most commonly used structures in aircraft and navy industries, traditionally. These structures are made up of the face sheets and the core, where the face sheets will be taking the load and ... -
Wave Transmission Characteristics in Honeycomb Sandwich Structures using the Spectral Finite Element Method
(2017-12-12)Wave propagation is a phenomenon resulting from high transient loadings where the duration of the load is in µ seconds range. In aerospace and space craft industries it is important to gain knowledge about the high frequency ... -
