Asymptotically Correct Dimensional Reduction of Nonlinear Material Models
(2018-07-30)This work aims at dimensional reduction of nonlinear material models in an asymptotically accurate manner. The three-dimensional(3-D) nonlinear material models considered include isotropic, orthotropic and dielectric ... -
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 ... -
Differential Evolution Based Interceptor Guidance Law
(2013-05-29)Kinematics based guidance laws like the proportional navigation (PN) and many other linear optimal guidance laws perform well in near-collision course conditions. These have been studied thoroughly in the literature from ... -
Dynamics Of Water Drops Impacting Onto The Junction Of Dual-Textured Substrates Comprising Hydrophobic And Hydrophilic Portions
(2014-11-24)The research topic of liquid drop interaction with solid surfaces is being actively pursued to gain in-depth understanding of several practical cases such as the impingement of fuel spray droplets on surfaces like combustion ... -
Energy Separation And Lox Separation Studies In Vortex Tubes
(2014-11-24)Vortex Tube (VT) is a simple device having no moving mechanical parts, in which compressed gas at high pressure is injected through one or more tangential nozzles into a vortex chamber resulting in the separation of the ... -
Experimental Study Of Plasma Actuator Characteristics And Optimization Of Configuration
(2013-06-26)Plasma actuators are devices which function by creating a discharge in air at atmospheric conditions. These devices have been demonstrated to effectively delay flow separation and enhance the lift- drag characteristics of ... -
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 ... -
Inter-laminar Stresses In Composite Sandwich Panels Using Variational Asymptotic Method (VAM)
(2013-07-10)In aerospace applications, use of laminates made of composite materials as face sheets in sandwich panels are on the rise. These composite laminates have low transverse shear and transverse normal moduli compared to the ... -
Investigation of Heat Transfer Rates Around the Aerodynamic Cavities on a Flat Plate at Hypersonic Mach Numbers
(2018-07-28)Aerodynamic cavities are common features on hypersonic vehicles which are caused in both large and small scale features like surface defects, pitting, gap in joints etc. In the hypersonic regime, the presence of such ... -
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 ... -
Modeling And Computation Of Turbulent Nonreacting And Reacting Sprays
(2014-09-05)Numerical modeling of several turbulent nonreacting and reacting spray jets is carried out using a fully stochastic separated flow (FSSF) approach. As is widely used, the carrier-phase is considered in an Eulerian framework, ... -
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 ...
