Symmetry-Breaking Transitions In Equilibrium Shapes Of Coherent Precipitates
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-22)We present a general approach for determining the equilibrium shape of isolated, coherent, misfitting particles by minimizing the sum of elastic and interfacial energies using a synthesis of finite element and optimization ... -
Synchronized and Balanced Collective Formations in Multi-Agent Systems
(2018-07-14)Multi-agent systems possess improved robustness properties over single agent systems, and hence, are more desirable for various engineering applications, where it is required for the multiple agents to move in a formation. ... -
A Synergetic Micromechanics Model For Fiber Reinforced Composites
(2014-09-08)Composite materials show heterogeneity at different length scales. hence concurrent multiscale analysis is the only reliable method to analyze them. But unfortunately there is no concurrent multi-scale strategy that is ... -
Synergistic Effect of Electromagnetic Forces on the Failure of Pre-Cracked Thin Metallic Conductors
Finite element method (FEM) simulations were performed, and distributions of current density, electromagnetic force, and stress fields due to the self induced electromagnetic forces were evaluated in a pre-cracked thin ... -
Syngas Fueled Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (Sofc) – Experiments and Analysis on Gas Characterization and Cell Performance
The present research addresses the complexities involved in the use of syngas as a fuel in a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). Solid oxide fuel cell is an efficient, clean direct energy conversion device. Being a fuel flexible ... -
Syngas Production by Methane Reforming and H2 Purification by CO Abatement over Transition Metal-Substituted Reducible Oxides
Methane and carbon dioxide are two major greenhouse gases, with CH4 having higher potency towards global warming. Several methods have been explored for transforming CH4 into higher value products, of which syngas production ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Functionalized Electroactive Polymers for Metal Ion Sensing
(2018-02-06)Metal ion contamination in surface and ground water is a major threat as it has a direct implication on the health of terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna. Lead (Pb2+), mercury (Hg2+), cadmium (Cd2+), nickel (Ni2+), ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Geopolymers as Construction Materials
(2018-01-09)Geopolymers are a relatively new class of materials that have many broad applications, including use as substitute for ordinary Portland cement (OPC), use in soil stabilisation, fire resistant panels, refractory cements, ... -
