A multi-physics-based modelling approach to predict mechanical and thermo-mechanical behaviour of cementitious composite in a multi-scale framework
Concrete is a heterogeneous material whose constituents (e.g., cement paste, aggregate etc.) range from a characteristic length-scale dimension of a nanometre to a metre. Owing to the heterogeneity of concrete and the ... -
Multi-Scale Approaches For Understanding Deformation And Fracture Mechanisms In Amorphous Alloys
(2010-03-09)Amorphous alloys possess attractive combinations of mechanical properties (high elastic limit, ~2%, high fracture toughness, 20-50 MPa.m1/2, etc.) and exhibit mechanical behavior that is different, in many ways, from that ... -
Multi-Scale Modeling of Moist Convection Over India
Clouds exist on all scales from turbulent processes to global scale and are organized on all the scales in between. They truly are multi-scale in nature. This makes them a very challenging simulation problem for atmospheric ... -
Multi-scale Modeling of Nanoparticle Transport in Porous Media : Pore Scale to Darcy Scale
(2018-05-17)Accurate prediction of colloid deposition rates in porous media is essential in several applications. These include natural filtration of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, transport and ... -
Multi-scale Modelling of HLA Diversity and Its Effect on Cytotoxic Immune Responses in Influenza H1N1 Infection
(2018-06-06)Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) are important components of the adaptive immune system and function by scanning the intracellular environment so as to detect and de-stroy infected cells. CTL responses play a major role in ... -
Multi-scale Modelling of Immune Response and Disease Spread: Methods and Applications
Diseases are multi-scale processes, with the precise combination of events at different scales both qualitatively and quantitatively dictating the final phenotype. Recognising that immune response is a key determinant of ... -
Multi-scale Modelling of Lamellar Mesophases
(2018-05-25)Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules which self-assemble at the interface in oil-water-surfactant mixtures such that the hydrophobic part, called tail, stays in oil and the remaining part, called head, resides in hydrophilic ... -
Multi-vehicle anticipation-based models for describing driver behaviour in heterogeneous and disorderly traffic conditions
Driver behaviour models are widely used in the traffic engineering literature and practice. They are used for understanding drivers’ manoeuvring decisions in traffic streams. They also form the building blocks of microscopic ... -
Multiband Modelling and Radio Observations of Gamma Ray Burst Afterglows
The widely popular and successful standard fireball model for Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows is based on ultra-relativistic external shocks sweeping up matter around the explosion site to accelerate electrons up to GOV ... -
Multicarrier Effects In High Pulsed Magnetic Field Transport And Optical Properties Of Mercury Cadmium Telluride
(2011-01-17)This thesis on multicarrier effects in the magnetotransport and optical properties of Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT or HgCdTe) covers mainly: design, construction and calibration of a 12T 4K and 19T 77K pulsed high magnetic ... -
Multidimensional Multicolor Image Reconstruction Techniques for Fluorescence Microscopy
(2018-06-26)Fluorescence microscopy is an indispensable tool in the areas of cell biology, histology and material science as it enables non-invasive observation of specimen in their natural environment. The main advantage of fluorescence ... -
Multielectron Bubbles : A Curved Two-dimensional Electron System in Confinement
(2018-06-15)Electrons are weakly attracted to liquid helium due to the small but finite polarizability of helium atoms. However, they cannot enter the liquid unless their energy is more than 1 eV, due to the Pauli exclusion principle. ... -
