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 ... -
Development of a Planar Robotic Platform with Localized Magnetic Actuation and its Applications for Untethered Ferromagnetic Robots and Shape-morphing Compliant Robots
This thesis focuses on the development of a solenoid-grid-based setup for independent planar actuation of multiple ferromagnetic robots referred to as ferrobots, by locally varying the magnetic field in different regions ... -
Development Of A Single Cylinder SI Engine For 100% Biogas Operation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-05-21)This work concerns a systematic study of IC engine operation with 100% biogas as fuel (as opposed to the dual-fuel mode) with particular emphasis on operational issues and the quest for high efficiency strategies. As a ... -
Development Of An Activated Carbon+ HFC 134a Adsorption Refrigeration System
(2009-04-01)The demands facing the refrigeration industry are minimal usage of conventional energy sources for compression and avoidance of ozone depleting substances. One of the approaches to combat these issues is the use of thermally ... -
Development Of Efficient Modeling Methodologies Of Adhesively Bonded Joints For Crash Simulations
(2009-03-12)In this thesis, a new modeling methodology applicable to adhesively bonded joints for crash simulations is presented. Using this approach, adhesive joints can be modeled without using minute solid elements thus reducing ... -
Development of Microstructure, Texture and Residual Stresses during Friction Stir Processing of Aluminium Alloys
Friction Stir Processing (FSP) is emerging as one of the most competent Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) methods for producing bulk ultra-fine grained materials with improved properties. The significant advantage of FSP ... -
Development of PCM coupled heat pipe for space application
Axially grooved aluminium-ammonia heat pipes are extensively used for the thermal control of satellites. Heat pipes efficiently transfer waste heat from the electronic packages, housed inside the satellite, to thermal ... -
Development of Specialised Tribometer for Advanced Tribosystem Evaluation
This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the development and validation of force-controlled tribometers to accurately evaluate tribo-contacts under realistic test conditions. The research addresses the gap in conventional ... -
