Computational Modelling Of Heat Transfer In Reheat Furnaces
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-08-24)
Furnaces that heat metal parts (blooms) prior to hot-working processes such as rolling or forging are called pre-forming reheat furnaces. In these furnaces, the fundamental idea is to heat the blooms to a prescribed ...
A Finite Element Investigation Of Brittle Fracture During Spherical Nanoindentation Of Thin Hard Films
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-12-14)
Hard ceramic films of micrometric thickness deposited on a soft metallic substrate have ushered in a new era in the fabrication of structural, tribological, microelectronic and optical components. The mechanical performance ...
Turbulent Mixed Convection
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-08-28)
Turbulent mixed convection is a complicated flow where the buoyancy and shear forces compete with each other in affecting the flow dynamics. This thesis deals with the near wall dynamics in a turbulent mixed convection ...
Artificial Neural Network Approach For Characterization Of Acoustic Emission Sources From Complex Noisy Data
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-12-14)
Safety and reliability are prime concerns in aircraft performance due to the involved costs and risk to lives. Despite the best efforts in design methodology, quality evaluation in production and structural integrity ...
Characterisation and Analysis of a Vibro-fluidised Granular Material
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-12-12)
The present work is concerned with the mathematical modelling of a bed of granular material in a gravitational field vertically fluidised by a vibrating surface. The particles are in rapid motion, and lose energy by inelastic ...
Study And Design Of Two-Thirds Power Weir
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)
This thesis is devoted to the study and designs of two important proportional weirs having the discharge-head characteristics of Q α H 2/3 In the first design a geometrically simple weir in the form of a rectangular weir ...
Prediction Of Engineering Properties Of Fine-Grained Soils From Their Index Properties
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-04-27)
Prediction as a tool in engineering has been used in taking right judgement in many of the professional activities. This being the fact, the role and significance of prediction in geotechnical practice needs no emphasis. ...
Passive Earth Pressure Coefficients And There Applications In The Uplift Capacity Of Anchors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-10-13)
The problem of passive earth pressure is one of the important topics in Geotechnical engineering. At attempt is made in this thesis to generate passive earth pressure coefficients for general c-Φ soils using logarithmic ...
Analysis Of Solute Transport In Porous Media For Nonreactive And Sorbing Solutes Using Hybrid FCT Model
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-06)
The thesis deals with the numerical modeling of nonreactive and nonlinearly sorbing solutes in groundwater and analysis of the effect of heterogeneity resulting from spatial variation of physical and chemical parameters ...
Collapse Behaviour Of Red Soils Of Bangalore District
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)
Collapse phenomenon is exhibited by two types of residual soils. The first category of collapsing residual soils is believed to be transported soils that have undergone post-depositional pedogenesis. The second category ...
