Resonances and beats in nonlinear structural acoustic waveguides
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 ... -
Robust Finite Element Strategies for Structures, Acoustics, Electromagnetics and Magneto-hydrodynamics
(2017-12-13)The finite element method (FEM) is a widely-used numerical tool in the fields of structural dynamics, acoustics and electromagnetics. In this work, our goal is to develop robust FEM strategies for solving problems in the ... -
Robust Registration of Measured Point Set for Computer-Aided Inspection
(2018-03-22)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 ... -
Role of Crosslinks and Fiber Reinforcement in Hydrogel Mechanics
Hydrogels are soft materials that exhibit nonlinear mechanical behavior under large deformations but can fail catastrophically, limiting their applications. Developing tough, biocompatible hydrogels with high strength and ... -
Role of Microstructure in the Mechanics of Soft Matter
(2018-07-16)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 ... -
Role Of Mixed Convection In Cooling Of Electronics
(2011-03-15)Cooling of electronic components is one of the most important issues concerned in the electronic industry for design of equipment. Maintaining the temperature of an electronic device within its safe operating temperature ... -
Role Of Solid Phase Movement And Remelting On Macrosegregation And Microstructure Formation In Solidificaiton Processing
(2010-08-25)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 Atomization of a Droplet in Diverse Interaction Settings
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 ... -
Sedimentation Of Heavy Particles In Turbulence
(2010-08-06)Behavior of particles in buoyancy driven turbulent flow at Ra ≈ 10º is investigated experimentally. The volume fraction of the particles is low enough for the inter particle influence to be neglected, the mass loading ... -
Self-propulsion in Pitching Airfoils
Self-propelled oscillating foils are simple yet useful models that can be used to explore the physics of oscillatory bio-locomotion. In this investigation, we explore the self-propulsion characteristics of a rigid NACA0015 ... -
Semisolid Die Casting of Wrought A6061 Aluminium Alloy
(2018-04-02)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 ... -
A shape optimization approach for simulating contact of elastic membranes with rigid obstacles
The obstacle problem consists in computing equilibrium shapes of elastic membranes in contact with rigid obstacles. In addition to the displacement u of the membrane, the interface on the membrane demarcating the ... -
Shock Dynamics due to Downstream Pressure Perturbations: Idealization of Transonic Unstarted Cascade Flutter
Shock wave unsteadiness is an important phenomenon in high-speed aerodynamics. This phenomenon is observed in many locations of high-speed vehicles, such as supersonic inlets, ramjet engines, transonic airfoils, high-speed ... -
Shock Wave-boundary Layer Interaction in Supersonic Flow over Compression Ramp and Forward-Facing Step
(2018-01-12)Shock wave-boundary layer interactions (SWBLIs) have been studied ex-tensively due to their practical importance in the design of high speed ve-hicles. These interactions, especially the ones leading to shock induced ... -
Simple Models For The Mean And Transient Intertropical Convergence Zone And Its Northward Migration
(2011-11-16)Satellite data have shown that east-west oriented cloud bands, known as Intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), propagate eastwards along the equator throughout the year and northwards during boreal summer on intraseasonal ... -
