MTech(Res): Adjoint-Based Aerodynamic Shape and Mesh Optimization with High-order Discontinuous Galerkin Methods

STC Seminar Hall, Dept. of Aerospace Engineering

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 increased lift. ASO integrates numerical optimization techniques with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Gradient-based optimization techniques are widely employed for ASO. The adjoint solution enables the […]

Ph.D. (Engg): Numerical Studies on the effect of core metal type and thickness on the mechanical behaviour of fiber metal laminates

Online
Hybrid Hybrid Event

Fiber Metal Laminates are materials that combine metal properties with Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) to improve mechanical performance. This research investigates the impact of core metal type and thickness on the tensile and impact behavior of FMLs. Initially two types of FML were modeled: GFML based on GFRP and HFML based on CFRP and GFRP. […]
