Conjunctive And Multipurpose Operation Of Reservoirs Using Genetic Algorithms
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)
Optimal operation of reservoir systems is necessary for better utilizing the limited water resources and to justify the high capital investments associated with reservoir projects. However, finding optimal policies for ...
Stabilisation Of Black Cotton Soil By Lime Piles
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-07)
Modification of black cotton soils by chemical admixtures is a common method for stabilizing the swell-shrink tendency of expansive soils. Advantages of chemical stabilization are that they reduce the swell-shrink tendency ...
Numerical Analysis Of Large Size Horizontal Strip Anchors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-03-23)
Structures like transmission towers, tele-communication masts, dry-docks, tall chimneys, tunnels and burried pipelines under water etc are subjected to considerable uplift forces. The net effect of external loading on the ...
Vibration Analysis Of Structures Built Up Of Randomly Inhomogeneous Curved And Straight Beams Using Stochastic Dynamic Stiffness Matrix Method
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-19)
Uncertainties in load and system properties play a significant role in reliability analysis of vibrating structural systems. The subject of random vibrations has evolved over the last few decades to deal with uncertainties ...
The Effect Of Viscosity On The Erosion Of Gradient- Zone In A Laboratory Solar Pond
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-08-24)
Double diffusive phenomena occur in many natural systems and in a variety of engineering applications, such as solar ponds. In a solar pond, the erosion of gradient zone due to convection and diffusion is the main cause ...
Role Of Interfacial Phenomena In Bioprocessing Of Minerals Using Bacillus Polymyxa
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-12-11)
In recent years there has been growing interest in bio-mineral processing due to its low operating costs and its application in processing lean-grade ores. Bioprocessing is a good alternative to conventional hydrometallurgy ...
Modeling Constitutive Behavior And Hot Rolling Of Steels
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-03-17)
Constitutive behavior models for steels are typically semi-empirical, however recently neural network is also being used. Existing neural network models are highly complex with a large network structure i.e. the number ...
A Study On The Predictive Optimal Active Control Of Civil Engineering Structures
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-18)
Uncertainty involved in the safe and comfort design of the structures is a major concern of civil engineers. Traditionally, the uncertainty has been overcome by utilizing various and relatively large safety factors for ...
