In recent times, usage of electronic devices inside cars while driving has increased due to the introduction of new technologies to keep drivers comfortable and entertained. Systems like satnav ease out the navigation by ...

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 ...

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 presents a method for producing open-cell metal foams by vibration-assisted casting (VAC) and its studies for diverse engineering applications. Metal foams have a wide range of applications due to their several ...

The topic of this research in this thesis is creativity assessment of solutions developed in the engineering design process as a means of aiding designers to focus their creative effort during the process. Both engineering ...

For many years, fluid flows have been modeled, starting from basic potential flow equations to full Navier-Stokes equations. The complexity of the flow increases as viscous effects, boundary layer, and flow separation are ...

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 ...

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)), ...

Present day aircraft systems are becoming incredibly complicated with the advent of new technologies. As per International civil aviation organization’s safety report, failure of mechanical or any physical hardware has ...
