Robust Numerical Modeling of Adhesively-Bonded Joints for Safety Assessment of Vehicle Body Structures Subjected to Extreme Loading
Continuous adhesively-bonded joints can lead to stiffer vehicle body structures in contrast to conventional spot-welded steel sheet metal-based unitized vehicle body design. For a given target stiffness, adhesive bonding, ...
A Novel Energy Neutrality Framework for Effective Integration of Energy-saving Sensors in Buildings
Buildings consume more than 40% of the primary energy produced globally, making them the leading contributors to climate change and global warming. Effectively reducing building energy is essential to reduce its energy ...
Understanding design communication in internet-enabled remote synchronous collaborative design in the early stages of design
Remote synchronous collaborative design necessitates designers to carry out the design process using web-based real-time communication applications for collaboration with co-designers. Design communication involves exchanging ...
Predictive modelling of key performance indicators for a data-driven digital twin of CNC machining processes
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 ...
Operationalising Sustainability in Smart Manufacturing Systems: A Model-Based Approach
This dissertation addresses the need for sustainability in manufacturing industries by leveraging digitalization and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). The research presents a comprehensive framework for operationalizing ...
Exploration of Design Thinking in School Education
This thesis comprehensively investigates the integration of design thinking into education, focusing on its application in K-12 settings in India. The broad aims of the research work are:
1. To investigate the need to ...
Gaze Estimation in the Wild - Models, Datasets and Usability
Human eye gaze estimation research has numerous applications in diverse fields from Human Computer Interaction (HCI) to aviation. Non-intrusive video oculography based methods are classified into two categories based on ...
Numerical Analysis to Understand Influence of Ventilation Systems on Thermal Comfort Parameters, Quality of Air, and Local Sweating
The body’s heat exchange mechanisms include sensible heat transfer at the skin surface (also called “Dry Heat exchange”) due to temperature differences (via conduction, convection, and radiation (long-wave and short-wave)), ...
Supporting Concept Representation, Synthesis, and Analysis of Multi-state Mechanical Devices
‘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 ...
Design, Simulation, Microfabrication and Characterization of a 16 MHz 1D-pMUT-Array
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 ...
