structures. However, fusion welding can cause cracking during solidification and reduce joint strength. Filler wires containing titanium carbide (TiC) nanoparticles can suppress this cracking, but questions remain about the resulting microstructure, mechanical performance and sensitivity to welding conditions. This seminar...

An abrupt local change in conduit geometry alters the strength of a propagating shock wave and initiates a transient flow start-up process as the shock impulsively accelerates the gas from rest. The resulting wave reflections, shock–shock interactions, flow separation, and...

Urban environments are characterized by complex flow phenomena due to interactions between buildings, streets, and other urban structures. Understanding turbulent flow within canopies is essential, as it plays a pivotal role in the transport of heat, moisture, and gases between...

Flexible rod-like objects such as cables, wires and hoses appear in assembly, maintenance and household tasks, yet their manipulation by robot arms remains difficult. Unlike a rigid body, the shape of a flexible object is determined by the positions and...

This talk describes the derivation of optimal, semi-analytic, algebraic equality conditions that can be used to identify second-moment stability boundaries in linear, time-invariant stochastic delay-differential equations with a single constant delay and both multiplicative and additive noise, without the use...
