Force Measurements On Rigid And Flexible Oscillating Foils
(2013-10-04)In the present work, we experimentally study thrust generation from sinusoidally pitched rigid and flexible foils immersed in a uniform flow. The flexible foils are made by attaching a flexible flap of known flexural ... -
Fuel Filim Visualization And Measurement In The Inlet Manifold Of A Carbureted Spark-Ignition Engine
(2013-10-01)In order to meet future emission norms for small carbureted SI engines, such as those used on motorcycles in India, there is a need to study mixture preparation, specifically the two-phase flow exiting the carburetor and ... -
In Situ Transmission Elecron Microscope Triboprobe For Tribological Studies Of Materials At Nanoscale
(2013-09-10)In most of the tribological experiments studying friction and wear behaviour, the contact interface is hidden. The present work attempts to overcome this hidden-interface problem by carrying out real-time tribological ... -
Measurement And Analysis Of Friction Induced By A Cutting Operation Lubricated By Oil In Water Emulsion
(2013-09-05)The lubricants that are applied during metal cutting acts on the interface between the tool and the nascent surfaces generated by the cutting process. Dispersions of oil in water made using suitable emulsifier(s) are used ... -
1-D And 3-D Analysis Of Multi-Port Muffler Configurations With Emphasis On Elliptical Cylindrical Chamber
(2013-08-28)The flow-reversal elliptical cylindrical end chamber mufflers of short length are used often in the modern day automotive exhaust systems. The conventional 1-D axial plane wave theory is not able to predict their acoustical ... -

Geometric And Material Stability Criteria For Material Models In Hyperelasticity
(2013-07-17)In the literature, there are various material models proposed so as to model the constitutive behavior of hyperelastic materials for example, St. Venant-Kirchho_ model, Mooney-Rivlin model etc. The stability of such material ... -
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 ... -
Two Inverse Problems In Linear Elasticity With Applications To Force-Sensing And Mechanical Characterization
(2013-06-24)Two inverse problems in elasticity are addressed with motivation from cellular biomechanics. The first application is computation of holding forces on a cell during its manipulation and the second application is estimation ... -
Flow Acoustic Analysis Of Complex Muffler Configurations
(2013-06-21)A theoretical study has been carried out on different methods available to analyze complex mufflers. Segmentation methods have been discussed in detail. The latest two port segmentation method has been discussed and employed ...
