This dissertation focuses on surface preparation and its effect on the shear strength of adhesively bonded Single Lap Joints (SLJs) in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP), their fracture properties, and […]
Transonic shock buffet, a self-sustained shock oscillation resulting from shock-boundary layer interaction, is observed across a range of operating points on the performance map of a transonic axial flow fan. Shock […]
Layered structural components, such as laminated composites and those made via Additive Manufacturing (AM), are widely used in aerospace and automotive industries due to their various advantages. The layer-wise approach […]
In this work, a novel sub-mesoscale model of woven fabrics is developed using nonlinear finite element methods. The main aim of the work is to develop a framework for modeling […]
Swirl is used in modern gas turbine combustor nozzles to achieve reliable flame stabilization and efficient fuel-air mixing. The swirl component in the nozzle jet flow induces an axial vortex. […]
The aerodynamic shape of an aircraft plays a critical role in its performance. Aerodynamic Shape Optimization (ASO) modifies the shape to achieve desired performance metrics, such as reduced drag or […]
