In this thesis, we have developed a theoretical model to predict the thermal conductivity for cylindrical and pristine nanowires. Boltzmann equation is solved including spatial dependence of the phonon distribution function ...
In this thesis, we developed a model for the lattice thermal conductivity (κ). For the calculation of κ for a single crystal over a full temperature range, the model uses the full Callaway's solution to Boltzmann equation ...
Machine or structural health monitoring requires the detection of very low vibration frequencies. Such frequencies are typically in the order of tens of Hertz. Current sensors that detect these frequencies, such as ...
