A Non Resonant Piezoelectric Sensor for Mass, Force and Stiffness Measurements
(2018-09-04)
The word piezo in greek means \to compress". Piezoelectric sensors work on the principle of direct piezoelectric effect, where a mechanical input generates a corresponding electric charge. The advantages of these sensors ...
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 ...
