Advanced Numerical Approaches for Analysis of Vehicle Ride Comfort, Wheel Bearings and Steering Control
(2018-06-23)Suspension systems and wheels play a critical role in vehicle dynamics performance of a car in areas such as ride comfort and handling. Lumped parameter models (LPMs) are commonly used for assessing the performance of ... -
An Advanced Study on Jute-Polyester Composites for Mechanical Design and Impact Safety Applications
(2018-05-14)Natural fiber-reinforced composites are now finding extensive uses in various fields from household articles to automobiles. These composites can score high compared to common synthetic fiber-based composites, notably glass ... -
A Feasibility Map-Based Framework and Its Implementation for Selection in Engineering Design
(2018-06-26)A pragmatic method for selecting components and devices from a database or parameterized models is developed in this thesis. The quantitative framework presented here is sufficiently general to accommodate an entire device ... -
Manufacture and Evaluation of Cast Aluminum Foam Heat Exchangers
(2018-08-14)Metal foams have many attractive properties such as light weight, low relative density, energy absorption capability etc. One of the main advantages of metal foam is that the foam inherits several properties of the parent ... -
Prediction Of The Behaviors Of Hollow/Foam-Filled Axially Loaded Steel/Composite Hat Sections For Advanced Vehicle Crash Safety Design
(2017-05-29)Hat sections, single and double, made of steel are frequently encountered in automotive body structural components such as front rails, B-Pillar, and rockers of unitized-body cars. These thin-walled components can play a ... -
Sustainability by Design : A Descriptive Model of Interaction and a Prescriptive Framework for Intervention
(2017-11-13)Introduction: Sustainability is humanity’s collective ability to sustain development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs. Preceding closely ... -
Synthesis of Conceptual Designs for Sensors
(2017-11-24)A computer-aided technique is developed in this thesis to systematically generate concepts for sensors of a wide variety. A database of building blocks, based on physical laws and effects that capture the transduction rules ...
