A Haptic Simulator for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy : Design Development and Experiments
(2018-09-04)
Endoscopy is an involved clinical practice requiring considerable skill in performing the procedure. Virtual reality together with haptics offers immersive, flexible, and cost-effective platform for training in endoscopic ...
Evaporation and Buckling Dynamics of Sessile Droplets Resting on Hydrophobic Substrates
(2018-09-04)
Droplet evaporation is ubiquitous to multitude of applications such as microfluidics, surface patterning and ink-jet printing. In many of the process like food processing tiny concentrations of suspended particles may alter ...
Thermodynamics of Distributed Solar Thermal Power Systems with Storage
(2018-08-11)
Distributed power generation through renewable sources of energy has the potential of meeting the challenge of providing electricity access to the off-grid population, estimated to be around 1.2 billion residing across the ...
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 ...
A Study of Two Problems in Nonlinear Dynamics Using the Method of Multiple Scales
(2018-08-13)
This thesis deals with the study of two problems in the area of nonlinear dynamics using the method of multiple scales. Accordingly, it consists of two parts.
In the first part of the thesis, we explore the asymptotic ...
Experimental Study of Patterns in Hydrodynamically Deposited Dispersed Phase of CaCO3 on Surfaces of Straight Cylindrica Silica Tubing
(2018-08-13)
Deposition of dispersed phase from flowing dispersions onto a substrate surface is of utmost relevance for various industrial processes like fouling of sparingly soluble salts, such as CaCO3 and CaSO4 in heat exchangers and ...
Quantitative Laser-Based Diagnostics and Modelling of Syngas-Air Counterflow Diffusion Flames
(2018-06-05)
Syngas, a gaseous mixture of H2, CO and diluents such as N2, CO2, is a clean fuel generated via gasification of coal or biomass. Syngas produced via gasification typically has low calorific values due to very high dilution ...
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 ...
Axially Homogeneous Turbulent Convection at High Rayleigh Numbers : Scaling Laws for Flux and Spectra
(2018-05-30)
Natural turbulent convection studies encompass a wide range of flows occurring in nature, for example, atmospheric and oceanic flows, con-vection in the Earth’s mantle, convection in the stars and also in many engineering ...
Studies on the Effect of Process Aspects on Material Mixing and Defect Formation in Friction Stir Welding
(2018-05-30)
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a rapidly growing solid state welding process and has been a proven method for welding high strength aluminium alloys which were formerly not recommended for joining by conventional fusion ...
