(2019)This research focuses on the design of a ring type mechanical force transducer by varying the cross-sectional shape. Shape optimization codes produced minimum ring thickness between 45-60° with maximum thickness at point ...
-
(2019)This PhD is a mixed-method project of four interrelated studies that explores the importance of magical thinking in explaining obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms with a transcultural perspective, between India (holistic-thinking ...
-
(2019)To deeply understand macroscopic failure behaviour of Sn anode materials for Li-ion batteries and make an optimization to electrode materials, based on first-principles calculation, this thesis systematically investigates ...
-
(2018)Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations and electrical capacitance volume tomography (ECVT) experiments were conducted to study the gas-solid hydrodynamics in bubbling fluidized beds having mono- and bi-dispersed ...
-
(2018)"The seismic reflection method should find IOCG mineral deposits because of the relatively high density and hardness of these deposits compared to the host rocks. By simulating surveys with acoustic modelling and comparing ...

(2019)Pyrolysis is one of the thermochemical techniques to convert biomass into bio-oil, bio-char and gaseous products. This work has focused on modelling the kinetic behaviour of cellulose, which is the most abundant component ...
-
(2019)The main drawback of Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is a long convergence time. This thesis integrates Multi-Frequency Multi-Constellation (MFMC) GNSS data to improve PPP convergence. The biases that occur during data ...
