Non-Dimensional Kinetoelastic Maps for Nonlinear Behavior of Compliant Suspensions
(2018-02-18)
Compliant suspensions are often used in micromechanical devices and precision mechanisms as substitutes for kinematic joints. While their small-displacement behavior is easily captured in simple formulae, large-displacement ...
Modular Kinematic Analysis Of Planar Linkages
(2009-04-24)
This thesis has developed an efficient methodology for automatic kinematic analysis of planar linkages using the concept of modular kinematics. Unlike conventional general purpose kinematic analysis packages where each joint ...
Computational Modelling Of Heat Transfer In Reheat Furnaces
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-08-24)
Furnaces that heat metal parts (blooms) prior to hot-working processes such as rolling or forging are called pre-forming reheat furnaces. In these furnaces, the fundamental idea is to heat the blooms to a prescribed ...
Motion Space Analysis of Smooth Objects in Point Contacts
(2018-07-19)
The present work studies instantaneous motion of smooth planar and spatial objects in unilateral point contacts. The traditional first-order instantaneous kinematic analysis is found insufficient to explain many common ...
Dynamics of Bubbles and Drops in the Presence of an Electric Field
(2018-07-16)
The present thesis deals with two-phase electrohydrodynamic simulations of bubble and droplet dynamics under externally applied electric fields. We used the Coupled Level-Set and Volume-of-fluid method (CLSVOF) and two ...
Vibrational Energy Harvesting : Design, Performance and Scaling Analysis
(2018-07-12)
Low-power requirements of contemporary sensing technology attract research on alternate power sources that can replace batteries. Energy harvesters function as power sources for sensors and other low-power devices by ...
Insights into Instabilities in Burning and Acoustically Levitated Nanofluid Droplets
(2018-07-16)
The complex multiscale physics of nanoparticle laden functional droplets in a reacting environment is of fundamental and applied significance for a wide variety of applications ranging from thermal sprays to pharmaceutics ...
Characterization of Flow Induced Noise Received by an Array Placed at Stagnation Point of an Underwater Axisymmetric Body
(2018-07-09)
Given the interest on underwater axisymmetric cylindrical bodies for the development of high-speed underwater weapons, characterization of the boundary layer flow-induced noise received by a Sound NAvigation and Ranging ...
Modeling Free Surface Flows and Fluid Structure Interactions using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
(2018-06-26)
Recent technological advances are based on effectively using complex multiphysics concepts. Therefore, there is an ever increasing need for accurate numerical al-gorithms of reduced complexity for solving multiphysics ...
Heterogeneous Object Modelling : Representation, Construction and Process Planning
(2018-06-26)
Heterogeneous Objects are engineered with multiple materials to achieve multiple functionalities like high hardness, high toughness and low structural weight. Heterogeneous objects are increasingly used to achieve multiple ...
