Analytical Response Sensitivity Using Hybrid Finite Elements
(2012-05-25) -
Analytical, Numerical, And Experimental Studies Of Fluid Damping In MEMS Devices
(2009-09-11)Fluid damping arising from squeeze film flow of air or some inert gas trapped between an oscillating micro mechanical structure, such as a beam or a plate, and a fixed substrate often dominates the other energy dissipation ... -
Analyzing Inter-modal Competition Between High Speed Rail and Conventional Transport Modes in Indian Context
Indian Railway provides an important mode of public transport in India. This is the most commonly used and cost effective long-distance transport system of the country. Indian Railways has played an immense role in ... -
Andaman sea circulation in a high-resolution OGCM
The objective of this study is to understand the circulation of the Andaman Sea, which is unique by geography and oceanography, using a high-resolution Ocean General Circulation Model (ROMS) in tandem with altimeter and ... -
Annual cycle of sea surface temperature in the North Indian Ocean
Sea surface temperature (SST) plays a pivotal role in determining Earth’s climate and its variability through air-sea interaction. Therefore, understanding the variation of SST on different spatio-temporal scales is one ... -
An Anti-Skid Brake Controller For A Fighter Aircraft With An Elastic Strut
(2009-04-29)This thesis deals with the design of an anti-skid brake controller for a generic fighter aircraft. Antiskid brake controllers prevent wheel locking and maximize the coefficient of friction between the tyre and the ground, ... -
Application Of Controlled Random Search Optimization Technique In MMLE With Process Noise
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-08-08)Generally in most of the applications of estimation theory using the Method of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MMLE) to dynamical systems one deals with a situation where only the measurement noise alone is present. However ... -
An Application Of Cybernetic Principles To The Modeling And Optimization Of Bioreactors
(2017-07-10)The word cybernetics has its roots in the Greek word \kybernetes" or \steers-man" and was coined by Norbert Wiener in 1948 to describe \the science of control and communication, in the animal and the machine". The discipline ... -
Application of Finite Element Limit Analysis and Other Means to Deal with Problems Involving Foundations and Excavations
The finite elements limit analysis (FELA) is an important tool to solve any stability problem in geomechanics. This method provides lower and upper bounds on the true solution for a material following an associated flow ... -
Application Of High Frequency Natural Resonances Extracted From Electromagnetic Scattering Response For Discrimination Of Radar Targets With Minor Variations
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-10-25)Radars, as the name suggests, were traditionally used for Radio Detection and Ranging. Nevertheless, advances in high resolution electromagnetic simulations, Ultra Wide-Band sources, signal processing and computer technologies ... -
Application of least squares kinetic upwind method to strongly rotating viscous flows
The Least Squares Kinetic Upwind Method (LSKUM) is a node-based method. Ghosh and Deshpande, as well as Ramesh & Deshpande, have demonstrated that LSKUM works on any type of grid—structured, unstructured, Cartesian, Chimera, ... -
Application of Mesoporous Silica nanoparticles as a nano-carrier for the treatment of HCV and HIV infections
Carrier-mediated drug delivery systems have emerged as a powerful tool for the treatment of various diseases, especially, in the field of viral infection. The therapeutic index of traditional and novel anti-virals are ... -
Application Of Polynomial Reproducing Schemes To Nonlinear Mechanics
(2011-03-15)The application of polynomial reproducing methods has been explored in the context of linear and non linear problems. Of specific interest is the application of a recently developed reproducing scheme, referred to as the ... -
Application of Randomized Algorithms in Path Planning and Control of a Micro Air Vehicle
(2018-06-25)This thesis focuses on the design and development of a fixed wing micro air vehicle (MAV) and on the development of randomized sampling based motion planning and control algorithms for path planning and stabilization of the ... -
An Application of Resonant Column along with Bender Elements Tests for Assessing Dynamic Properties and Liquefaction Potential of Sand
For determining the response of foundation soils subjected to different kinds of vibrations emerging from (i) an occurrence of an earthquake, (ii) movements of trains over railways tracks, (iii) running of vehicles over ... -
Applications of Advanced CAE Methodologies to Orthopaedic Implant and Vehicle Occupant cum Pedestrian Safety Countermeasure Design
In the present work, experimental and numerical investigations into the load-displacement responses of a human lumbar Truncated Vertebral Unit (TVU) under quasi-static and impact loading conditions have been carried out ... -
An Approach Towards Inactivation of Susceptible and Antibiotic Resistant Bacterial Contamination using Novel Photo–(electro)-catalysts
Water in most rivers in India does not meet the standards for drinking and even for bathing purposes due to the high concentration of coliforms, organic and inorganic contaminants. Overuse, uncontrolled release and careless ... -
Approaches to Regional Analysis of Hydro-Meteorological Processes and Extremes
Regional analysis of hydrometeorological variables (e.g., evapotranspiration, precipitation), hydrological processes (e.g., runoff), and their extremes (e.g., drought, floods) is essential for various applications. The ...
