Asymptotic Analysis Of The Dispersion Characteristics Of Structural Acoustic Waveguides
(2010-04-12)In this work, we study the coupled dispersion characteristics of three distinct structural-acoustic waveguides, namely: -(1) a two-dimensional waveguide, (2) a fluid-filled circular cylindrical shell and (3)a fluid-filledelliptic ... -
Asymptotically Correct Dimensional Reduction of Nonlinear Material Models
(2018-07-30)This work aims at dimensional reduction of nonlinear material models in an asymptotically accurate manner. The three-dimensional(3-D) nonlinear material models considered include isotropic, orthotropic and dielectric ... -
At-site and Multisite Probabilistic Forecasting of Streamflow
Streamflow forecasts are very useful for a variety of applications such as flood warning, reservoir operation and water resources planning and management, especially in countries like India where streamflow can be highly ... -
Atomistic Simulation of Grain Boundary Effects on Cascade Damage in Vanadium
Advancements in fusion reactor technology has led to the construction of ITER and the realisation of fusion energy is closer than ever before. However, realisation of fusion energy critically depends upon breakthrough in ... -
Atomization characteristics of alternative aviation biofuels, Jet A-1, and water from a hybrid airblast atomizer
Studies on the atomization of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) from aircraft engine atomizers are essential to replace the present fossil type jet fuel to counter the rise in aviation-caused CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. ... -
Atomization Characteristics of Camelina and Jatropha-Derived Drop-in Aviation Biofuels
(2017-11-22)Biofuels in civil aviation is actively studied in recent years to identify potential alternative jet fuels to meet stringent environmental regulations imposed to tackle degraded air quality caused by fossil fuel combustion. ... -
Attenuation Characteristics and Seismicity Analysis of Himalayan Region with Linear Joint Time-frequency Analysis Techniques
About 59% of the land area of the Indian subcontinent has high chances of moderate to severe earthquakes, of which the Himalayas are the most seismically active. Regardless of the high seismic activity, the seismic network ... -
Autoflocculating Mixotrophic Algal Consortia Approach to Sustainable Wastewater Treatement
(2017-10-26)The phenomenon of rapid algal blooms in response to nutrient overloads has been adapted to treat synthetic domestic wastewater. Various algal consortia collected from several eutrophied water bodies were subject to high ... -
Automated Kinematic Assembly Modeling
(2013-10-21)The aim of this research is to bridge the gap between CAD modeling and kinematic analysis packages by extracting kinematic information directly from part genometries. It will relieve the designers from the tedious task ... -
Automated Meshless CFD Process using Cartesian Point Distribution
The thesis deals with the meshless methods based on generalized finite difference procedure operating on the mere distribution of points. The work per se focuses on maturing the meshless LSFD-U solver as a standard industrial ... -
Automated methods of natural resource mapping with Remote Sensing Big data in Hadoop MapReduce framework
For several decades, remote sensing (RS) tools have provided platforms for the large-scale exploration of natural resources across the planetary bodies of our solar system. In the context of Indian remote sensing, mineral ... -
An Autonomous Guidance Scheme For Orbital Rendezvous
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-15)The word 'rendezvous' implies a pre-arranged meeting between two entities for a specific purpose. This term is used in the study of spacecraft operations, to describe a set of maneuvers performed by two spacecraft in order ... -
Autonomous Landing Of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(2010-03-26)In this thesis the problem of autonomous landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle named AE-2 is addressed. The guidance and control technique is developed and demonstrated through numerical simulation results. The complete ... -
