Understanding Structure And Growth Of Physisorbed Films : A Combined Atomic Force Microscopy And Modeling Study
(2014-10-16)
Surface modification has wide ranging implications in lubrication, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), colloidal systems and biological membranes. Surface modification plays an important role in stabilizing gold ...
Lower Bound Limit Analysis Applications For Solving Planar Stability Problems In Geomechanics
(2014-09-04)
Limit analysis based upon the theory of plasticity is one of the very useful numerical techniques to determine the failure loads of different civil and mechanical engineering structures for a material following an associated ...
Behaviour Of FRP Strengthened Masonry In Compression And Shear
(2014-04-08)
Masonry structures constitute a significant portion of building stock worldwide. Seismic performance of unreinforced masonry has been far from satisfactory. Masonry is purported to be a major source of hazard during ...
Numerical Methods For Solving The Eigenvalue Problem Involved In The Karhunen-Loeve Decomposition
(2014-05-05)
In structural analysis and design it is important to consider the effects of uncertainties in loading and material properties in a rational way. Uncertainty in material properties such as heterogeneity in elastic and mass ...
Beneficiation Studies On Molybdenite Ore From Harur Area, Tamil Nadu
(2014-09-15)
Molybdenum is a versatile alloying and refractory metal of strategic importance. In India almost all molybdenite is obtained currently as st byproduct from copper and uranium deposits. The present Indian production is only ...
Development Of Cast Magnesium Alloys With Improved Strength
(2014-05-15)
Aim of the present work was to explore the possibility of improving strength of cast Mg by alloying additions, viz., Si and Zn+Al. All the alloys were produced by squeeze casting technique using squeeze pressure of 12MPa ...
Multi-Phase Modeling Of Microporosity And Microstructures During Solidification Of Aluminum Alloys
(2014-04-23)
Manufacturing of light-weight materials is associated with several types of casting defects during solidification. Porosity defects are common, especially in aluminum and its alloys, which initiate crack propagation and ...
Single-Phase And Multi-Phase Convection During Solidification Of Non-eutectic Binary Solutions
(2014-10-20)
During solidification of non-eutectic alloys, non-isothermal phase change causes dendritic growth of solid front with liquid phase entrapped within the dendritic network producing the mushy region. Solidification causes ...
Studies On Automization And Sprays Of Plant Oil Biofuels Using Laser-Based Diagnostics
(2014-12-12)
Atomization characteristics of liquid fuel sprays control combustion efficiency and emissions in engines. The present work is motivated by the need to study the atomization and spray structure of vegetable oil biofuels for ...
Thermodynamic Analysis And Simulation Of A Solar Thermal Power System
(2014-05-21)
Solar energy is a virtually inexhaustible energy resource, and thus, has great potential in helping meet many of our future energy requirements. Current technology used for solar energy conversion, however, is not cost ...
