Autonomous Orbit Estimation For Near Earth Satellites Using Horizon Scanners
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-10-20)Autonomous navigation is the determination of satellites position and velocity vectors onboard the satellite, using the measurements available onboard. The orbital information of a satellite needs to be obtained to support ... -
Axially Homogeneous Turbulent Convection at High Rayleigh Numbers : Scaling Laws for Flux and Spectra
(2018-05-30)Natural turbulent convection studies encompass a wide range of flows occurring in nature, for example, atmospheric and oceanic flows, con-vection in the Earth’s mantle, convection in the stars and also in many engineering ... -

Bay of Bengal Freshwater in the tropical Indian Ocean
The annual total continental runoff into the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is more than half the runoff into the entire tropical Indian Ocean. The net freshwater (FW) content in the Bay of Bengal mixed layer increases from a minimum ... -
Bayesian implicit filters for the analysis of numerically stiff structural dynamic state space models
This thesis reports on combined experimental and computational investigations conducted on problems of state and combined state and parameter estimation applied to vibrating engineering structures. The standard dynamic ... -
Beamforming and Target Tracking Methods for Active RF Phased Array Seekers
The end game guidance and control of an interceptor for neutralization of a hypersonic vehicle or a maneuvering aerial target is a challenging problem. This problem can be addressed in two ways: through faster autopilot ... -
Bearings-Only Information Based Guidance Law for Trajectory Shaping Applications
Munitions like projectiles and artillery mortars follow ballistic trajectory to hit the target. However, unguided munitions may miss the target due to external disturbances or errors in aerodynamic modeling. A guided ... -
Behaviour Of FRP Strengthened Masonry In Compression And Shear
(2014-04-08)Masonry structures constitute a significant portion of building stock worldwide. Seismic performance of unreinforced masonry has been far from satisfactory. Masonry is purported to be a major source of hazard during ... -

Behaviour Of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil–Aggregate Systems Under Static, Repeated And Cyclic Loads
(2016-04-26)Efficient road network and connectivity play vital role in the development of any country. Majority of the rural roads are unpaved and connectivity of rural roads is always a major challenge. Unpaved roads are also used ... -
Behaviour of Granular Materials Under Shock and Blast Loading - A Shock Tube Investigation
Granular and porous materials based protective layers have proven to be very good shock absorbing medium. Although sand material is widely used (as sand bags) till date in civil and military applications as a blast mitigating ... -
Beneficiation Studies On Molybdenite Ore From Harur Area, Tamil Nadu
(2014-09-15)Molybdenum is a versatile alloying and refractory metal of strategic importance. In India almost all molybdenite is obtained currently as st byproduct from copper and uranium deposits. The present Indian production is only ... -
