Feasibility and Spontaneity of Jetfans for Aircraft Fire Safety
Abstract: Fires have been a serious threat yet to be comprehensively addressed in safe Air transportation. The fire occurrence in cabin is well etched by the unpredictable fire behavior transiting to larger high potential fires. The work investigates feasibility of automated ventilation jet-fan in the Aircraft to minimize fire spreading and enhance control action time thus reducing fire hazards. Present work proposes utilization of Jetfan as a potential fire safety system …

A Detailed Stepwise Procedure to Perform Isogeometric Analysis of a Two Dimensional Continuum Plate Structure-II
Abstract: Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is the future of analysis in structural mechanics where in the geometry of the structure can be precisely represented. The integration of CAD and IGA has enabled us to design the most complex geometry as well. The main focus of the paper is to present a detailed stepwise procedure to perform isogeometric analysis of continuum plate structures subjected to in-plane loading. In this paper, a simple example …

Influence of Ceramic Particulate Reinforcements on Fly Ash Dispersion Strengthened Composites for Aircraft Structures
Abstract: The present work is a comprehensive research carried out to fabricate and characterize the hybrid metal matrix composite materials by reinforcing the metal matrix of Aluminum 5083 (Al 5083), with ceramics and industrial wastes. More often than not, when no less than two reinforcements are available, it is known as a hybrid metal matrix composite and our work relevantly focuses on portrayal of these “hybrid metal matrix composites” for aerospace …

Numerical Investigation of Fluid Flow Inside A Rectangular Driven Cavity at Moderate Reynolds Numbers
Abstract: This work presents a numerical investigation of a 2-D incompressible driven cavity flow at moderate Reynolds numbers. Lid driven cavity is widely considered to be a benchmark problem because of its capability of displaying the cogency of different numerical schemes and easily analysing different fluid phenomenon in a simple geometrical arrangement. A steady numerical solution is determined using a pressure-based segregated algorithm; SIMPLE and the simulation is done in the …

Vibration Characterization of SiCp and Fly Ash Dispersion Strengthened Aluminium 5083 Composites
Abstract: The requirements of current day engineering applications is based on high damping materials which exhibit superior mechanical properties as well as high damping limit for vibrations. In structures made of metals and composites, it is difficult to achieve high damping limit and great mechanical properties at the same time. This is majorly due to the infinitesimal systems that result in "microscopic mechanisms and parameters affecting the mechanical strength". However, to …
