A Comparative Study Of Different Numerical Techniques Used For Solving Incompressible Fluid Flow Problems
(2010-06-03)Past studies (primarily on steady state problems) that have compared the penalty and the velocity-pressure finite element formulations on a variety of problems have concluded that both methods yield solutions of comparable ... -
Constraint Effects On Stationary Crack Tip Fields In Ductile Single Crystals
(2011-03-15)In order to understand and predict the fracture behaviour of polycrystalline materials from a fundamental perspective, it is important to first investigate plastic deformation at a crack tip in a ductile single crystal. ... -
Contact Mechanics Of Layered Structures
(2009-06-30)Contact mechanical study of layered structures is useful to various fields of engineering, such as - mechanical engineering, civil engineering, materials engineering and biomechanics. Thin hard film coating on a compliant ... -
Crack Tip Fields And Mechanisms Of Fracture In Ductile FCC Single Crystals
(2015-01-07)An understanding of crack tip fields and fracture mechanisms in single crystals can help in developing better polycrystalline alloys and manufacturing processes. To this end, the effects of loading rate, material inertia ... -
The Development Of Triangular Hybrid Axisymmetric Elements

Experimental And Finite Element Study Of Elastic-Plastic Indentation Of Rough Surfaces
(2009-06-24)Most of the surfaces have roughness down to atomic scales. When two surfaces come into contact, the nature of the roughness determines the properties like friction and wear. Analysis of the rough surface contacts is always ... -
Experimental And Theoretical Studies In Fatigue Damage Modeling
(2010-12-07)This thesis has two parts. In the first part, we use the results of new fatigue experiments conducted with variable load levels as well as variable stress ratios to critically assess three (two old and one relatively ... -
An Experimental Study Of Instabilities In Unsteady Separation Bubbles
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-11)The present thesis is an experimental study of some aspects of unsteady two dimensional boundary layers subject to adverse pressure gradient. An adverse pressure gradient usually leads to boundary layer separation or an ... -
Flow Over A Circular Cylinder With A Flexible Splitter Plate
(2010-07-08)Previous work on rigid splitter plates in the wake of a bluff body has shown that the primary vortex shedding can be suppressed for sufficiently long splitter plates. In the present work, we study the problem of a flexible ... -
High Reynolds Number Flow Over A Backward-Facing Step
(2016-06-21)Flow separation and reattachment happens in many fluid mechanical situations occurring in engineering applications as well as in nature. The flow over a backward-facing step represents a geometrically simple flow situation ... -
Investigation On Flexural Vibrations Of Bolted Laminates
(2013-07-02)Bolted cores made of coated silicon steel sheets constitute a vital part of heavy electrical equipment for transformers, motors and turbogenerators. Bolted laminates are eminently suitable for facilitating smooth magnetic ... -
Periodically Perforated Sheets : Design And analysis
(2013-06-17)Periodically perforated sheets(PS) are ubiquitous in nature as well as in engineered artifacts developed for aerospace, automotive, marine, nuclear and structural applications. PS are indispensable for saving weight and ... -
Recognition And Suppression Of Blends In A Tessellated Solid Model
(2007-12-29)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 ... -
Study Of Multiple Asperity Sliding Contacts
(2016-06-18)Surfaces are rough, unless special care is taken to make them atomically smooth. Roughness exists at all scales, and any surface-producing operation affects the roughness in certain degrees, specific to the production ... -
Towards Measurement And Simulation Of Elasto-Plastic Deformation
(2009-03-09)The stretch forming process is frequently used in the automotive industry (outer pan- els, inner panels, stiffeners etc.), the packaging industry and household appliances sector, to manufacture complicated shapes and ...
