The flow of a compressible, viscous, heat-conducting, radiating gray gas parallel to a gray semi-infinite flat plate is considered. The radiation field is described by using the differential approximation. N, the ratio of ...

Blend recognition and suppression from a tessellated model is important in applications such as model simplification in analysis and collaborative design where tessellated models are being used. This could also be used to ...

In this thesis that is entirely analytical in nature, nonlinear wave propagation in various structural-acoustic waveguide geometries is studied. The waveguides considered include a circular cylindrical waveguide with a ...

This thesis addresses the problem of registering one point set with respect to another. This problem arises in the context of the use of CMM/Scanners to inspect objects especially with freeform surfaces. The tolerance ...

Materials which exhibit non-linear mechanical behaviors under large deformations are generally classified as “soft matter”. Elastomers represent an important class of soft materials which have wide commercial applications ...

Melt convection and solid phase movement play an important role in solidification processes, which significantly influence the formation of grain structures and solute segregations. In general, the melt convection and grain ...

Secondary atomisation refers to the process by which liquid droplets, which are already in a dispersed state, are further atomised down into smaller droplets. This process occurs after primary atomisation, which is the ...

The mechanical properties achieved with high performance wrought aluminium alloys are superior to cast aluminum alloys. To obtain an intricate shaped component, wrought alloys are commonly subjected to forging followed by ...
