Sharma, R. (author)In this thesis, a stress recovery procedure for 3-D linear finite elements is presented. The formulation is based on a modified version of the Hu-Washizu variational principle, in which the recovered stresses are calculated by minimizing the error with respect to the directly-computed stresses, and ensuring that the recovered stresses satisfy...master thesis 2016

Sharma, H. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Offerman, S.E. (author)Polymorphism is the ability of a solid material to exist in more than one phase or crystal structure. Polymorphism may occur in metals, alloys, ceramics, minerals, polymers, and pharmaceutical substances. Unresolved are the conditions for preferential nucleation during polymorphic transformations in which structural relationships or special...journal article 2016

Feng, R. (author), Sharma, S. (author), Luthi, S.M. (author), Gisolf, A. (author)Previously, Tetyukhina et al. (2014) developed a geological and petrophysical model based on the Book Cliffs outcrops that contained eight lithotypes. For reservoir modelling purposes, this model is judged to be too coarse because in the same lithotype it contains reservoir and non-reservoir lithologies. Hence, a new and more detailed geological...conference paper 2015

Sharma, A. (author)Boundary Layer Ingestion (BLI) is a concept in which the fuselage boundary layer is ingested by the engine to produce benefits like improved fuel efficiency, reduction of ram drag and lower structural weight of the configuration. Blended Wing Body (BWB) concept has been researched on and studied in various forms over the years as an efficient...master thesis 2015

Kumar, D. (author), Sharma, A.R. (author), Goyal, T. (author), Shyam, V. (author), Mohite, P.M. (author), Kamle, S. (author)Flapping wing micro air vehicles (MAVs) have the advantage of being able to fly at slow speeds and have high maneuverability. The design of a flapping wing MAV inspired by birds presents many technical challenges because birds as natural fliers exhibit higher efficiency than any man made flapping wing structure. Thus, the structure and motion of...conference paper 2014

Sharma, D.M. (author), Poddar, K. (author)Wind tunnel experiments were carried out at low speed aerodynamics lab at IIT Kanpur to investigate dynamic stall characteristics for a flow past an oscillating NACA 0015 airfoil at various reduced frequencies (k). The NACA airfoil model was design and developed to incorporate simultaneous surface pressure measurement at the mid-span of the...conference paper 2013

Weerheijm, J. (author), Sharma, A. (author), Ozbolt, J. (author)The behavior of concrete structures is strongly influenced by the loading rate. Compared to quasi-static loading, on meso and macro-scale concrete loaded by impact loading acts in a different way. First, there is a strain-rate influence on strength, stiffness, ductility, and, second, there are inertia forces activated which influence the...conference paper 2013

(author)In this paper, we report on the deposition of amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films at ultra-high growth rate (11–60?nm/s) by means of the expanding thermal plasma technique, followed by solid-phase crystallization (SPC). Large-grain (?1.5??m) polycrystalline silicon was obtained after SPC of high growth rate (?25?nm/s) deposited a-Si:H films. The...journal article 2012

(author)This work presents the development of a non-destructive imaging technique for the investigation of the microstructure of cementite grains embedded in a ferrite matrix of medium-carbon steel. The measurements were carried out at the material science beamline of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) ID11. It was shown that in-line X...conference paper 2011

Mutikanga, H.E. (author), Sharma, S.K. (author), Vairavamoorthy, K. (author)Water utilities particularly in the developing countries continue to operate with considerable inefficiencies in terms of water and revenue losses. With increasing water demand and scarcity, utilities require effective strategies for optimum use of available water resources. Diverse water loss reduction options exist. Deciding on which option to...journal article 2011

Sharma, A.C. (author)The thesis explores a strategic spatial proposal for a ‘Wetland Economic Zone’ in Mumbai’s salt-pan/ mangrove/ wetland area on Thane creek. The strategy questions the city’s blanket zoning attitude, and integrates primary sector economies like food production in sustainable practices but using the genius of the place, serving socio-economic...master thesis 2011
