Stirring and mixing driven by mesoscale eddies in the stratified Bay of Bengal
The stirring of passive tracers driven by altimetry-derived daily surface geostrophic currents is studied on subseasonal timescales in the Bay of Bengal. Advection of latitudinal and longitudinal bands highlights the chaotic ... -
Stochastic Analysis Of Flow And Solute Transport In Heterogeneous Porous Media Using Perturbation Approach
(2009-04-16)Analysis of flow and solute transport problem in porous media are affected by uncertainty inbuilt both in boundary conditions and spatial variability in system parameters. The experimental investigation reveals that the ... -
Stochastic Modelling of Flexible Pavement Performance
(2017-11-16)Stochastic analysis provides a rationale for the treatment of uncertainties, founded on the principles of probability theory and statistics, and is concerned with a quantifiable measure of the confidence or the reliability ... -
Stochastic Modelling of Vehicle-Structure Interactions : Dynamic State And Parameter Estimation, And Global Response Sensitivity Analysis
(2017-10-31)The analysis of vehicle-structure interaction systems plays a significant role in the design and maintenance of bridges. In recent years, the assessment of the health of existing bridges and the design of new ones has ... -
Stochastic Models Suggest Guidelines for Protocols with Novel HIV-1 Interventions
(2018-05-25)The treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection faces the challenge of drug resistance. The high mutation rate of HIV-1 allows it to develop resistance against all available drugs. New mechanisms of ... -
Stochastic Simulation Of Daily Rainfall Data Using Matched Block Bootstrap
(2010-04-13)Characterizing the uncertainty in rainfall using stochastic models has been a challenging area of research in the field of operational hydrology for about half a century. Simulated sequences drawn from such models find use ... -
Strain Hardening in Extruded Pure Magnesium
There has been a surge in interest in wrought magnesium alloys for structural applications in automotive industry. However, the application of wrought alloys is limited by its poor plasticity, due to its inherent strong ... -
Strain Rate, Volume Fraction and Notch Depth Effects on Fracture Properties of Fibrous Cementitious Composites
It is known that concrete is weak in tension. Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is an alternative cementitious composite to increase the tensile strength, energy absorption capacity and durability of concrete structures. ... -
Strain-rate Dependence of Rock Joint Strength and Related Stability of Slopes and Tunnels
Understanding the strain rate-dependent strength behavior of rock joints is important since displacement rates along rock joints in field can exceed the suggested displacement rates (0.02 mm/min-0.5 mm/min) for laboratory ... -
Strength and Deformation Behavior of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Based on Constitutive Modeling Approach
(2018-04-11)The geotechnical properties of municipal solid waste (MSW) such as compressibility, shear strength and stiffness are of prime importance in design and construction of landfills. However, it is not well clear how the ... -
Strength And Deformation Behaviour Of Jointed Rocks : An Equivalent Continuum Model
(2009-06-30)Most rock masses encountered in civil and mining engineering projects contain pre-existing discontinuities. These discontinuities weaken the rock masses to an extent, which depends very much on the size of engineering ... -
