Studies On Shock Wave Attenuation In Liquids
(2013-06-11)The attenuation mechanism of shock waves of arbitrary strength propagating in air has been reasonably well understood. On the other hand, very little is known about the precise mechanism of shock wave attenuation and energy ... -
Momentum And Enthalpy Transfer In Packed Beds - Experimental Evaluation For Unsteady Inlet Temperature At High Reynolds Numbers
(2013-06-10)Solid propellant gas generators that have high gas capacity are used for fast pressurization of inflatable devices or elastic shells. However, many applications such as control surface actuation, air bottle pressurization ... -
Structural Modeling And Analysis Of Insect Scale Flapping Wing
(2013-06-04)Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are defined as a class of vehicles with their larger dimension not exceeding 15 cm and weighing 100 gm. The three main approaches for providing lift for such vehicles are through fixed, rotating ... -
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 ... -
Effect Of Cross-sectional Nonlinearities On Anisotropic Strip-based Mechanisms
(2013-05-28)The goal of this work is to develop and demonstrate a comprehensive analysis of single and multi-body composite strip-beam systems using an asymptotically-correct geometrically nonlinear theory. The comprehensiveness ... -
Strength Prediction And Fatigue De-Bond Growth In Bonded Joints In Metallic And Composite Structures
(2013-05-23)Large scale structures such as those in aerospace flight vehicles are made in parts and assembled. Joints are inevitable in these systems and they are potential threats to the structural integrity of the flight vehicles. ... -
Novel Finite Element Formulations For Dynamics Of Acoustic Fluids
(2013-05-02)Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) as the name suggests, is the study of dynamic interaction of both fluid and structure motions. Fluid-structure interaction exists in almost all engineering and science fields. Moreover, ... -
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 ... -
Closed-form Solutions For Rotating And Non-rotating Beams : An Inverse Problem Approach
(2012-12-04)Rotating Euler-Bernoulli beams and non-homogeneous Timoshenko beams are widely used to model important engineering structures. Hence the vibration analyses of these beams are an important problem from a structural dynamics ... -
