This thesis introduces a novel Digital Twin architecture for modelling CNC machining processes for better decision-making by predicting key performance indicators (KPIs) with data-driven modelling. The proposed data-driven ...

‘Design’ is a means of changing existing situations into preferred ones. The engineering design process has been broadly classified into four stages: task clarification, conceptual design, embodiment design and detail ...

Ultrasound transducers are being used in a variety of biomedical applications. Conventional ultrasound transducers used currently for medical imaging are quite bulky, these transducers also consume considerable amounts of ...

Full-text embargo up to 17/4/2026 This thesis addresses the issue of data availability in building data-driven models for digital twins in manufacturing and design. Digital twins enable the transition of computer models ...

The primary aim of this research is to address NOx emission reductions from high ash/dust environments of coal-driven thermal power plants prevalent in India and other regions using low-grade coal with significant fly ash ...

Digital Human Models (DHMs) are representations of humans in virtual environments that have applications in diverse disciplines. In the context of engineering design, DHMs are used to assess if a proposed design satisfies ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a layer-based manufacturing process aimed at producing parts directly from a Computer-aided design (CAD) model. There are various types of AM systems, which can be classified based on: (i) ...

This thesis aims to detect spatial and non-spatial conflicts in product design arising out of requirements in different design domains. Handling such conflicts requires modelling the non-geometric knowledge outside the ...

An ‘environmentally-benign design’ is defined as that which causes little or no harm to the natural environment and may be achieved by reducing the environmental impact of the design solutions conceptualised, to be ...

Product models are being proposed as information models to drive the entire product lifecycle. CAD models that drive the product development cycle presently are primarily a repository of shape information and, therefore, ...
