Design And Development Of An Improved Anti-Lock Braking System For Two-Wheelers
(2011-07-12)In today’s fast moving world, automobiles are facing challenges in terms of having to survive road accidents, increasing traffic, bad road-conditions and high/express ways. Brake systems play a vital role in controlling ... -
Design and Development of Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers
(2018-02-22)This thesis presents the design and analysis for development of a Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (CMUT), a novel sensor and actuator, aimed at replacing the conventional piezoelectric transducers for ... -
Design and Development of Force Sensor for measurement of Tactile Friction
The sense of touch, along with the other senses, decides the perception of world around us. We touch, grip, and wear various products in our day-to-day life, be it the constant interaction we have with our mobile phones, ... -
Design and development of lateral force-controlled tribosystems
In a tribo-system, the frictional resistance during a sliding process depends on several parameters. These parameters include the interacting materials, their surface topography, contact conditions such as normal load, ... -
Design And Development Of Miniature Compliant Grippers For Bio-Micromanipulation And Characterization
(2017-05-24)Miniature compliant grippers are designed and developed to manipulate biological cells and characterize them. Apart from grippers, other compliant mechanisms are also demonstrated to be effective in manipulation and ... -
Design And Manufacturing Of Impact Resisting Structures (Aluminium Foam)
(2009-09-02)Metal foams have found increasing applications in a wide range of structural and functional products, due to their exceptional mechanical, thermal, acoustic and electrical properties and offer great potential for lightweight ... -
A Design Concept of a Volumetric Solar Receiver for Supercritical CO2 Brayton Cycle
(2018-01-09)Recently, the supercritical carbon dioxide (s-CO2) Brayton cycle has been identified as a promising candidate for solar-thermal energy conversion due to its potentially high thermal efficiency (50%, for turbine inlet ... -
Design of Structures and Mechanisms using Topological Derivatives and Exploration of 4D-printed Shape Morphing Structures
We employ topological derivatives to design supports for stiff structures and compliant mechanisms along with exploration of design features for 4D-printed shape-morphing structures. Topological derivative (TD) has been ... -
Design Of Two-Axis Displacement-Amplifying Compliant Mechanisms Using Topology Optimization
(2010-07-14)This thesis deals with the design of two-axis displacement-amplifying compliant mechanisms (DaCMs) using topology optimization. The two-axis compliant mechanisms considered here are XY positioners and two-axis inertial ... -
Design, Analysis, Simulation and Experimentation of a Flexible Spine Quadruped
Quadrupeds robots can move on uneven and rough terrain where mobile robots cannot venture. Al-though bipeds have more capabilities, they are inherently unstable and difficult to control. Most quadrupeds today are built ... -
Developement Of Aluminium Foam : An Experimental And Numerical Study
(2010-07-06)Metal foams are lightweight structures and have large use in many components acting as impact energy absorbers. They have exceptional mechanical, thermal and acoustic properties. The design or selection of foam for packaging ... -
Development and application of a new method for detection of structural equivalence in graphs
This thesis mainly concerns the isomorphism problem encountered in computerized structural synthesis of kinematic chains. The contributions of the thesis to the study of structural aspects of linkages are the following. 1. ... -
Development and Characterization of Ordered Magnetic Nanocomposite
Magnetic nano-particles dispersed in a non-magnetic matrix is promising for storage technology. Additionally, such magnetic nano composite (MNC) materials have potential applications in the field of telecommunication, ... -
Development And Investigation of Two-Stage Silica Gel + Water Adsorption Cooling Cum Desalination System
(2017-09-20)The present research work caters to two important needs of rural India: i) desalination of subsoil/coastal brackish water and ii) basic refrigeration for short term preservations of agro-produce, medicines etc. Fortunately, ... -
Development And Performance Evaluation Of An Indirect Evaporative Air Cooler
(2014-09-09)Evaporative cooling is an alternative and efficient method of cooling in dry climates. When a liquid evaporates into the surrounding gas, the energy required for the change of phase produces a cooling effect. The wet bulb ... -
Development of a Flexible Actuator and Motion Planning for Endoscopic Robots
Endoscopy is a procedure by which a long flexible device called the `endoscope' is inserted into a patient's gastro-intestinal(GI) tract primarily for diagnosis. An endoscope is typically equipped with a camera, ... -
Development of a novel LPG/PNG domestic burner for high efficiency and low emissions
Domestic cooking is one of the basic human needs, and cookstoves based on fuel combustion are widely used. LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) is the most common cooking fuel, followed by PNG (Piped Natural Gas), which has an ... -
