Modeling of Contact in Orthotropic Materials using Variational Asymptotic Method
(2018-06-18)Composites are materials which cater to the present and future needs of many demanding industries, such as aerospace, as they are weight-sensitive for a given requirement of strength and stiff ness, corrosion resistant, ... -
Modeling Of Contaminant Transport Through Soils And Landfill Liners
(2013-04-26)Accurate modeling of contaminant transport and sorption processes in the soil and landfill liners is a prerequisite for realistic model simulations of contaminant fate and transport in the environment. These studies are ... -
Modeling Of Dust Loaded Electrical Characteristics And Collection Efficiency Of Industrial Electrostatic Precipitators
(2010-12-08)With the increase in population and industrial growth, the need for power has increased manifold. A major share of India’s power generation is coal-based generation. Thermal power generation through coal combustion produces ... -
Modeling of Lightning Attachment to Aircraft and a Novel Methodology to Quantify Strike Rate
Air transport plays a vital role in global economic growth and long-distance commutation. The aviation industry is found to double its fleet size every fifteen years. According to Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), 45 ... -
Modeling Of Liquid Flow In A Packed Bed Under Influence Of Gas Flow
(2009-03-05)The aim of the current study is to model (non-wetting) liquid flow in a packed bed under the influence of gas flow. It has been observed experimentally that non-wetting liquid flows in a packed bed in form of small droplets ... -
Modeling of Permittivity Variations in Stochastic Computational Electromagnetics
With the evolution of 5G systems offering high data rates, major changes are required in the design approach of the components of communication systems. Furthermore, building complex electromagnetic systems at the terahertz ... -
Modeling of Solar Radiation Management : A Comparison of Simulations using Reduced Solar Constant and Stratospheric Aerosols
(2017-11-22)The climatic effects of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) geoengineering have been often modeled by simply reducing the solar constant. This is most likely valid only for space sunshades and not for atmosphere and surface ... -
Modeling of the Haltere-A Natural Micro-Scale Vibratory Gyroscope
(2018-06-05)Vibratory gyroscopes have gained immense popularity in the microsystem technology because of their suitability to planar fabrication techniques. With considerable effort in design and fabrication, MEMS (Micro-electro-mec ... -
Modeling Of Transport Phenomena In Arteries
(2013-05-23)Atherosclerosis is an arterial disease that occurs due to the build-up of lipids, cholesterol and other substances in the arterial wall, collectively called plaque, leading to narrowing of the vessel lumen and, in time, ... -
Modeling Private Information In Bilateral Relationships For Revenue Management
(2010-12-01)This thesis addresses two issues which arise in the context of airline revenue management. In the first part of the thesis, we develop an incentive mechanism to prevent revenue leakage caused by customers buying down. In ... -
Modeling Salinity Impact on Ground Water Irrigated Turmeric Crop
(2018-04-18)Soils in irrigated fields are impacted by irrigation water quality. Salts in the irrigation water may accumulate in the soil depending on amount of leaching, the quality of water and type of ions present. Salinity is an ... -
Modeling the Dependence Structure of Hydroclimatic Extremes
Analysis of extremes in a complex interacting hydroclimatic system is challenging due to rarity of events, small sample size, poor state of data or missing data, lack of statistical tools for analyzing observed changes and ... -
