3D-Printing of Lunar Soil Simulant by Direct-Extrusion method.
The extrusion-based additive manufacturing (EAM) technique is recently being widely employed for the 3D printing of complex-shaped components made of ceramic powder (containing irregular-shaped particles) when it is cast ...
Mechanobiology of cell-substrate interactions
Cell adhesion to substrates is a complex process facilitated by focal adhesion (FA) complexes that help them perform vital cellular functions like migration, growth, and division. Cells probe their surroundings through ...
Influence of surface topography on wear and debris morphology of polymers
The artificial knee and hip joints comprise a polymer-metal tribological system where soft polymers slide against hard metallic surfaces. When a polymer slides on it, the micro hard asperities remove the polymers in the ...
Studies on Metal Hydride Based Multifunctional Coupled Thermal Battery Systems
Thermal energy storage systems (TESS) based on chemisorption/thermochemical reactions have several advantages over conventional thermal storage systems based on sensible and latent heat. The advantages include high energy ...
Experimental and numerical study of mechanics and mechanisms of mode I fracture of a textured magnesium alloy
In recent years, magnesium alloys have gained increasing application in the automotive industry to achieve weight reduction in vehicle components which is crucial for enhancing fuel efficiency and meeting stringent emission ...
A Monolithic Finite Element Formulation for Magnetohydrodynamics Involving a Compressible Fluid
This work develops a new monolithic finite-element-based strategy for Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)
involving a compressible fluid based on a continuous velocity-pressure formulation. The entire formula-
tion is within a ...
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 ...
Experimental and Theoretical Insights into Impact Phenomena of Small Scale Liquid Interfacial Systems
This work explores impact phenomena experimentally and theoretically for various
interfacial systems ranging from medical diagnostics to drop impacts on solids and
immiscible liquids. We study a hitherto unexplored impact ...
Inverse Material Design using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks and Ontology
Materials design is the process of tailoring materials with specific properties and performance characteristics to meet the particular needs of an application. It involves going back on the process-structure-property (PSP) ...
Towards metal additive manufacturing using alternate powders
Metal powders are predominantly produced using processes derived from atomization, which, apart from being highly energy intensive, are also inflexible and very material specific. These limitations are particularly acute ...
