The current work examines how process-induced defects influence the compressive behavior of composite structures. The defects analyzed include wrinkles at the macroscale and fiber misalignment at the microscale. Uni-directional carbon […]
A scramjet, i.e., a supersonic combustion ramjet, is an air-breathing engine that enables sustained atmospheric flight in the hypersonic regime. It consists broadly of four key components: the air intake, […]
The performance and reliability of structural components in advanced engineering applications, such as turbine discs in aeroengines, are critically influenced by their microstructural characteristics, particularly the crystallographic texture. Texture controls […]
Air intake system supplying air to the aircraft’s propulsion system is an important part of the aircraft. In modern military aircraft, air intake ducts are bent due to stealth and […]
Nature has consistently served as a powerful source of innovation, offering elegant and sustainable solutions to complex engineering problems. Among these, the spinning samara seed stands out as a biologically […]
Bulk ferromagnetic materials exhibit Joule magnetostriction with characteristic strain magnitudes on the order of (10^{-6}) to (10^{-4}), which is often insufficient for the displacement requirements of modern soft robotic and […]
The importance of transitional flow studies can be realized from the fact that it acts as a bridge between the laminar and turbulent flows. The present work deals with the […]
