In situ analysis of large strain deformation in tool-workpiece contacts
Large strain plastic deformation is central to manufacturing operations like metal cutting, rolling, and extrusion. Standard approaches for describing and understanding this deformation, such as analytical methods, numerical ... -
In Situ Transmission Elecron Microscope Triboprobe For Tribological Studies Of Materials At Nanoscale
(2013-09-10)In most of the tribological experiments studying friction and wear behaviour, the contact interface is hidden. The present work attempts to overcome this hidden-interface problem by carrying out real-time tribological ... -
In-Situ Polymer Derived Nano Particle Metal Matrix Composites Developed by Friction Stir Processing
(2018-08-10)Ceramic metal matrix composites (CMMCs) are materials generally created by mixing of hard ceramic particles in a metal matrix. They were expected to combine the ductility and toughness of the metal with the high strength ... -
In-situ Tribological Experiments to Study - The Effect of Contact Stresses on Raman Scattering
This thesis presents the design, development, and validation of novel instruments that enable in situ micro-Raman spectroscopic measurements at mechanically loaded interfaces: an indentation apparatus for static loading ... -
Influence of Contact Stresses on Shape Recovery in Sputter Deposited NiTiCu Thin Films
(2017-10-05)NiTiCu is a shape memory alloy that regains its original shape after large amount of shape changing deformation when heated above a critical temperature called reverse martensitic trans-formation temperature( Af). When ... -
Influence of Hydrodynamic Slip on the Wake Dynamics and Convective Transport in Flow Past a Circular Cylinder
(2018-06-14)Hydrodynamic slip is known to suppress vorticity production at the solid-fluid boundary in bluff body flows. This suppression combined with the enhanced vorticity convection results in a substantial reduction in the unsteady ... -
Influence of Surface Topography and Roughness on Lubrication, Friction and Scuffing in High Hardness Steels
In tribology engineering, friction control is a significant challenge. The interacting surfaces of mechanical components are typically designed for best efficiency during tribological operations and are primarily achieved ... -
Influence of surface topography on wear and debris morphology of polymers
The artificial knee and hip joints comprise a polymer-metal tribological system where soft polymers slide against hard metallic surfaces. When a polymer slides on it, the micro hard asperities remove the polymers in the ... -

Insights on the Evaporation and Precipitation of Pathogen-Laden Respiratory Droplets on Inanimate Surfaces
Disease transmission via fluid ejections from infected individuals is a critical public health concern, particularly in high-risk environments like hospitals, public transport, restaurants, and schools. Respiratory droplets ... -
Intent- driven Correspondence and Registration of Shapes
(2018-05-29)Registration means to bring two or more shapes into a suitable relative configuration (position and orientation). In its major applications like 3D scan alignment, the aim is to coalesce data and regions originating from ... -
Interaction of bubble(s) and buoyant rigid particles with vortical structures: Towards understanding bubbly turbulent flows
Bubbly turbulent flows occur in many places, such as in chemical reactors and geophysical applications, besides interest from the drag reduction perspective using injected bubbles in a (water) boundary layer. In these ... -
Interaction of Bubbles with Vortical Structures
(2017-09-23)Bubbly turbulent flows occur in a variety of industrial, naval and geophysical problems. In these flows, the bubbles in the flow interact with turbulence and/or vortical structures present in the continuous phase, resulting ... -
