The transonic Mach number regime is a critical phase in the atmospheric ascent of launch vehicles, where aerodynamic loads peak due to the combined effects of high freestream dynamic pressure […]
In this modern era, Space is vital for a Nation’s prosperity and without space, many critical functions would simply stop working. The increasing number of satellite launches in recent times, […]
Miniaturised technologies, due to their portability, rapid responses, low powers and ability of multi-component integration, have received an ever-growing interest in areas like healthcare, air quality, and space research. This […]
Autonomous vehicles, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), are at the forefront of technological innovation and are widely used across various applications. As these vehicles […]
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, especially carbon dioxide, is one of the main global challenges to achieve a more sustainable future. Developing internal combustion engines with advanced […]
About fifty million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy, a neurological disorder marked by sudden, recurrent episodes of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, potentially causing sensory disturbances, convulsions and/or loss […]
Some decades ago J. T. Stuart formulated a theory for nonlinear saturation of hydrodynamically unstable modes. He proposed that an unstable mode, upon gaining sufficient energy, distorts the mean flow. […]
Since the Apollo era, space has become an increasingly valuable domain for national security due to diplomatic, informational, and economic reasons. The last few years have seen exponential growth in […]
Onboard trajectory optimization lies at the heart of true system autonomy, including UAVs, Robots, spacecrafts, launch vehicles, missiles, and so on. Onboard trajectory optimization in real time (optimal guidance) can […]
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 […]
Shape Memory phenomenon in some intermetallics like NiTi is well known. However, during arbitrary thermomechanical loading, these materials exhibit several other interesting, yet less-understood phenomena. In this talk, Thermal Arrest […]
