The aim of this thesis is to investigate the aerodynamics of an ogive nose projectile at supersonic speed. 2D Euler’s Equations is used to calculate the flow field around an ogive nose at Mach number 2. This algorithm ...

A compliant mechanism can be defined as flexible structure, which uses elastic deformation to achieve force and motion transmission. These mechanisms are different from the classic linkage mechanisms with regard to the ...

Automobile Industry is currently focused in developing and discovering ways to improve fuel economy of the vehicles, keeping in view the rapid consumption of world‟s energy reserves. There may be several solutions to ...

The growing interest in unmanned aircraft, especially for surveillance in constrained areas, has triggered much research in the area of micro air vehicles (MAVs). Sensors and actuators are becoming smaller and smarter, ...

The objective of the present study is to model mathematically the combination of Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) due to Oil hammering, write a computer code against a mathematical model and then experimentally verify ...

Research in the field of Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle (FMAV) is an ongoing quest to master the natural flyers by mechanical means. The field is characterized by unsteady aerodynamics, whose knowledge is still developing. ...

Presence of fully established EHL film effectively prevents adhesive wear and reduces friction between piston assembly and cylinder liner under engine normal operating conditions. Absence of the same during initial start ...

The field of manufacturing is one of the oldest and the most established industry of the world. It has been evolving and developing for many ages. The concept of using machines to develop the products started in the early ...

In direct laser deposition, (DLD) metallic powder injected into a laser generated melt pool on the substrate surface, melts and after movement of the laser solidifies. By overlapping and offsetting these clads, construction ...

Micro air vehicle (MAV) is defined as unmanned air vehicles with wing to wing span of 150 mm and weight not more than 100 grams, specifications defined by American Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). MAV ...
