Shot peening is a commonly used technique for improving the fatigue life of machine components by inducing compressive residual stresses in the surface layers. This process involves plastically deforming the surface layers by impacting the surface...
The proposed work aims to design and develop a novel direct drive parallel stream counter-rotating Darrieus turbine system capable of producing power at low velocities (less than 2.0 m/s) for scientific and industrial applications along an interco...
The bioartificial liver (BAL) advancing medical technology aims to provide temporary liver substitution for patients in dire need of liver transplants and also for drug development. Yet despite nearly fifty years of development, the approval for t...
In this work, a two-dimensional finite element model of orthogonal machining ofAISI 1045 steel is developed using the commercial non-linear finite element packageABAQUS. The material behavior is described using the Johnson-Cook constitutivelaw. Fu...

Description
This thesis focuses upon using a high-order finite-difference method on a structured overset grid to study flow features around a generic simplified car model adjusting mesh refinements, rear slant angles, solvers, and turbulence models. These pro...
Aerodynamics has long been perceived as the single most important aspect amongst all factors that contribute to the on-track performance of a racecar. As such, in all forms of motorsports, race teams dedicate a significant portion of their budget ...
The overarching objective of this research is to use machine learning tools to address the design and real-time control of active systems, focusing specifically by tethered airborne wind energy and ocean current energy systems. In both application...
The use of nonconventional beam classes in turbulence applications is investigated. Through the study on pseudo-Bessel correlated beam propagation in the atmosphere, it is shown that scintillation reduction by a partially coherent beam can be obta...
