(2018-02-28)The search and research for high performance materials for aerospace applications is a continuous evolving process. Among several fibre reinforced polymers, carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) is well known for its high ... -
Studies on Vortex Breakdown in a Closed Cylinder with a Rotating Endwall
(2018-01-09)Swirling flows abound in nature and numerous engineering applications. Under conditions which are not completely understood, the swirling cores could undergo a sudden enlargement of their vortex core, leading to a ’vortex ... -
A Study Of A Vortex Particle Method For Vortex Breakdown Phenomena
(2010-07-06)Vortex breakdown is an important phenomenon observed in swirling flows involving the development of a stagnation point on the axis of the vortex followed by a region of recirculation when the swirl increases beyond a ... -
Study of Non-Equilibrium Flow Behind Normal Shock
(2017-12-10)Normal shock problems in high enthalpy flows are of special interests to aerodynamicists and fluid dynamicists. When the shock Mach number become hypersonic and increasing further, the gas passing through the shock is ... -
A Study of the Characteristics of Gas-On-Liquid Impinging Injectors
(2018-02-18)The work presented here pertains to investigations on gas-on-liquid type of impinging injectors with a generic approach with prospective applications in several areas, and at places with particular emphasis on cryogenic ... -
A Study On Boundary Layer Transition Induced By Large Freestream Disturbances
(2013-06-12)The initial slow viscous growth of the Tollmein-Schlichting wave in a canonical boundary layer transition is absent in bypass and wake-induced transitions. Although there have been a great deal of studies pertaining to ... -
A Study on the Effect of Inhomogeneous Phase of Shape Memory Alloy Wire
(2018-05-25)The present study in this thesis has attempted to resolve one of the key aspects of enhancing predictability of macroscopic behavior of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire by considering variation of local phase inhomogeneity. ... -
Super-Convergent Finite Elements For Analysis Of Higher Order Laminated Composite Beams
(2009-08-12)Advances in the design and manufacturing technologies have greatly enhanced the utility of fiber reinforced composite materials in aircraft, helicopter and space- craft structural components. The special characteristics ... -
Synchronized and Balanced Collective Formations in Multi-Agent Systems
(2018-07-14)Multi-agent systems possess improved robustness properties over single agent systems, and hence, are more desirable for various engineering applications, where it is required for the multiple agents to move in a formation. ... -
A Synergetic Micromechanics Model For Fiber Reinforced Composites
(2014-09-08)Composite materials show heterogeneity at different length scales. hence concurrent multiscale analysis is the only reliable method to analyze them. But unfortunately there is no concurrent multi-scale strategy that is ... -
System Identification And Control Of Helicopter Using Neural Networks
(2013-04-29)The present work focuses on the two areas of investigation: system identification of helicopter and design of controller for the helicopter. Helicopter system identification, the first subject of investigation in this ... -
Thermal Behaviour Of Mono-Fibre Composites And Hybrid Composites At Cryogenic Temperatures
(2013-01-31)Hybrid composites forms an important field of research in the area of composite science and engineering as it gives the advantage of avoiding complex lay-up designs and provides better tuning compatibility to get desired ... -
Three Dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamic Simulation and Analysis of a Turbocharger Compressor
(2018-05-01)This thesis constitutes detailed computational investigation on ow through the passages of a centrifugal compressor used for turbocharging applications. Given the dynamic nature of operation of the turbocharger, it becomes ... -
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 ... -
Time-Optimal Guidance for Impact Angle Constrained Interception of Moving Targets
(2018-05-30)Various unmanned missions deploy vehicles such as missiles, torpedoes, ground robots, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Guidance strategies for these vehicles aim to intercept a target point and satisfy additional objectives ...
