Packed beds find extensive application in a wide variety of industries. The objective of the present work is to analyze and evaluate the effects of the wall on structural characteristics, hydrodynamics and heat transfer ...

Pattern speed is an important parameter of the density wave theory for spiral galaxies. In this thesis we have determined the pattern speed for warped galaxies (flat galaxies being a special case of this generalization) ...

India sustains nearly 17% of the world's population but with only 4 % of global water resources. In India, the water sector faces enormous pressure due to increased demand resulting from population growth, industrialisation, ...

The use of adhesives for bonding composites as well as metals is rapidly increasing since it provides uniform load transfer and is free of stress concentration seen around the drilled holes in bolted or riveted joints. ...

Decades of research aim to shield structures and people from impact and shock, mitigating damage and traumatic brain injuries. The development of novel structures to absorb energy and reduce stress waves in structures ...

The analysis of wave propagation in hyperelastic waveguides has significant applications in various branches of engineering like Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation, impact analysis, material characterization and damage ...

Wave propagation is a phenomenon resulting from high transient loadings where the duration of the load is in µ seconds range. In aerospace and space craft industries it is important to gain knowledge about the high frequency ...

Cemented granular systems are encountered at various scales in nature and artificially. We present an experimental study carried out on the structure and mechanical behaviour of weakly cemented granular materials. We study ...

Wearable sensors, as the name implies, are devices that can be donned onto the body in order to continuously detect, monitor and analyze various signals generated by the subject and the immediate surroundings. Applications ...
