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 […]
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 […]
With the climate change becoming as one of the main challenges for human existence, every sector has to contribute in reducing its climate footprint. Being an international and hard to […]
The global thrust towards the development of hypersonic cruise systems for various applications is leading towards slender configurations with lifting and control surfaces which are thin and complaint and face […]
Autonomous agents are increasingly being used to solve many tasks, deemed complex by humans, with ease and effectiveness. Two such applications are in defense scenarios and in coverage. This thesis, […]
Aluminium alloy AA2219 is a precipitation hardenable wrought alloy with copper as a major alloying element. Large-volume propellant tanks of space launch vehicles are manufactured by joining AA2219 aluminium alloy […]
The Society for Shock Wave Research (India ), Department of Aerospace Engineering is organizing a “One Day Workshop on Sustainability in Aerospace” on Monday, March 17, 2025. The primary objective of this […]
The intriguing annual migration of the dragonfly species, Pantala flavescens, was reported a century ago. The multi-generational, transoceanic migration circuit spanning 14000-18000 kms, from India to Africa is an astonishing […]
The laminar to turbulent boundary layer transition onset has perplexed fluid dynamics community irrespective of the flow regime under which the phenomenon is probed. The complexity of the problem is […]
