Sliding Mode Control Based Guidance Strategies with Terminal Constraints
(2018-07-23)In the guidance literature, minimizing miss distance along with optimizing the energy usage had been an objective for several decades. In current day applications, additional terminal performance such as impact angle and ... -
Slow Dynamics In Complex Fluids : Confined Polymers And Soft Colloids
(2015-08-05)The thesis describes the study of slow dynamics of confined polymers and soft colloids. We study the finite size effect on the dynamics of glassy polymers using newly developed interfacial microrheology technique. ... -
Slow Dynamics In Soft Condensed Matter : From Supercooled Liquids To Thermotropic Liquid Crystals
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-20)This thesis, which contains fourteen chapters in two parts, presents theoretical and computer simulation studies of dynamics in supercooled liquids and thermotropic liquid crystals. These two apparently diverse physical ... -
Small Angle Measurement Using Optical Caustics From Hollow Cylinders - Few Investingations
(2009-09-15)‘Optical Caustics’ represent some of the most visually striking patterns of the light in nature.They occur when light rays from a source, such as the sun, get refracted, or reflected by curved media so as to bend and alter ... -
Small Angle Sensing/Measurement Using 'Pattern Imaging' Method - Few Investigations
(2010-07-14)The present thesis concerns with a few investigations on sensing/measurement of small angle rotation/tilt using Pattern Imaging Method. The methodology involves looking at the tailored-objects located adjacent to the ... -
Small Heat Shock Proteins from Bacteria and a Bacteriophage
Proteins can unfold during heat and other types of stress and tend to aggregate with subsequent loss of function. This event is prevented by small Heat Shock Proteins (sHSPs) acting as molecular chaperones. sHSPs do not ... -
Small Heat Shock Proteins from Oryza Sativa and Salmonella Enterica
(2018-05-09)Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are a ubiquitous family of molecular chaperones that play a vital role in maintaining protein homeostasis in cells. They are the first line of defence against the detrimental effects of ... -
Small Signal Stability Analysis of a Power System with a Grid Connected Wind Powered Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG)
(2018-07-18)Small signal oscillation has been always a major concern in the operation of power systems. In a generator, the electromechanical coupling between the rotor and the rest of the system causes it to behave in a manner similar ... -
Small-amplitude Oscillations in Hypersonic Double-cone Flow
Unsteady compressible flows typically pose problems with rich dynamics. The broad concern of this thesis is the shock wave unsteadiness that arises in external high-speed flow over a double-cone body. This unsteadiness is ... -
Smart textiles with Tuneable Architectures for Multifunctional Applications
Innovations in electronics and the rapid developments in communication systems have been unprecedented and made life easier. One such advancement is wireless electronics, where gadgets operate in gigahertz frequencies – ... -
A Smooth Finite Element Method Via Triangular B-Splines
(2013-07-25)A triangular B-spline (DMS-spline)-based finite element method (TBS-FEM) is proposed along with possible enrichment through discontinuous Galerkin, continuous-discontinuous Galerkin finite element (CDGFE) and stabilization ... -
Smooth Finite Element Methods with Polynomial Reproducing Shape Functions
(2018-04-03)A couple of discretization schemes, based on an FE-like tessellation of the domain and polynomial reproducing, globally smooth shape functions, are considered and numerically explored to a limited extent. The first one ... -
Social Capital And Its Impact On New Venture Performance
(2011-10-10)Entrepreneurship is the process of transforming an idea into a tangible product or service that can be traded. High-growth entrepreneurial firms contribute a disproportionate share of all new jobs created by new firms. ... -
Social Organisation And Cooperation In Genetically Mixed Colonies Of The Primitively Eusocial Wasp, Ropalidia Marginata
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-08-05)Altruism in its extreme form is seen in social insects where most individuals give up their own reproduction and work to rear the offspring of their queen. The origin and evolution of such sterile worker castes remains a ... -
Soft Materials Derived From Bile Acid Analogues
(2009-05-06)Chapter 1. Introduction This chapter is an overview on the literature of self-association of small organic molecules. The chapter is presented in four parts. First, an introduction to aggregation of small molecules is ... -
Soft Matter : Routes To Rheochaos, Anomalous Diffusion And Mesh Phases
(2008-10-06)Soft condensed matter (SCM) systems are ubiquitous in nature. SCM systems contain mesoscopic structures in the size range 10 nm to 1 am that are held together by weak entropic forces. These materials are therefore easily ... -
Soft Matter Under Electric Field And Shear
(2010-06-09)‘Soft condensed matter’ is a newly-emerged sub-discipline of physics concerned with the study of systems that are mechanically soft such as colloids, emulsions, surfactants, polymers, liquid crystals, granular media and ... -
Soft Switched Multi-Phase Tapped-Boost Converter And Its Control
(2009-08-04)Boost dc-to-dc converters have very good source interface properties. The input inductor makes the source current smooth and hence these converters provide very good EMI performance. On account of this good property, the ... -
Soft Switched Multilevel Unidirectional High Frequency Link DC to AC Converter for Medium Voltage Grid Integration of Solar Photovoltaics
Grounding the frame of photovoltaic (PV) panel is a necessity for the safety of humans. This leads to the formation of large capacitance between PV cells and ground. Hence, to reduce leakage current due to parasitic ...
