Crystal Nucleation in Binary Hard Sphere Mixtures
(2018-03-06)Homogeneous crystal nucleation in binary hard sphere mixtures is an active area of research for last two decades. Although Classical nucleation theory (CNT) gives a qualitative picture, it fails at high super saturations ... -
Cyclic Pursuit : Variants and Applications
(2018-02-11)The classical n-bugs problem has attracted considerable attention from researchers. This problem stems from the study of movement of a group of animals. In the context of multi- agent systems the problem has been modelled ... -
Cylindrical Fretting And Delamination : Axisymmetric Static And Dynamic Analysis
(2011-01-17)Axisymmetric analysis of cylindrical contacts is considered in the context of axisymmetric assemblies such as shrink-fits. Fretting fatigue induces sub-critical cracks along the contact interface of press fits especially ... -
Damping of magnetic-Coriolis waves with imposed magnetic field orthogonal to the axis of rotation
Small-scale columnar structures (<10 km radius) in Earth's outer core result from inertial waves. In highly conducting fluid, magnetic field behaviour resembles stretched elastic strings and transmits disturbances as Alfvén ... -
Data Assimilation Experiments Using An Indian Ocean General Circulation Model
(2008-09-09)Today, ocean modeling is fast developing as a versatile tool for the study of earth’s climate, local marine ecosystems and coastal engineering applications. Though the field of ocean modeling began in the early 1950s along ... -
Decentralized Sustainable Energy Planning For Tumkur District, India
(2010-02-18)The energy-planning involves finding a set of sources and conversion devices so as to meet the energy requirements/demands of all the activities in an optimal manner. This could occur at centralized or decentralized level. ... -
Defluoridation Of Drinking Water Using A Combined Alum-Activated Alumina Process And Nanoscale Adsorbents
(2010-10-08)Excess Fluoride in drinking water is a cause for concern in several countries in the world. Various techniques have been developed to mitigate the harmful effects of fluoride. In the present work, a combined alum and ... -
Defluoridation Of Drinking Water Using Activated Alumina
(2013-05-20)Excess fluoride (F-) in drinking water poses a health threat to millions of people around the world. In the present work, activated alumina (AA) has been used as an adsorbent. Data obtained from batch experiments were ... -
Deformation characteristics of soil under sequential dynamic torsional and cyclic axial loading
Earthquake-induced structural damages caused due to site effects, soil liquefaction failure, and associated excessive settlement are well-known worldwide. The primary controlling factor responsible for the superstructure’s ... -

Delamination Modeling and Detection in Composite Structures
(2017-12-12)Composite laminated structures are prone to delamination. Rotorcraft flexbeams, apart from many other aerospace primary load carrying members are made up of composite laminated structures. A delaminated primary load carrying ... -
Demonstration Of Supersonic Combustion In A Combustion Driven Shock-Tunnel
(2011-01-17)For flights beyond Mach 6 ramjets are inefficient engines due to huge total pressure loss in the normal shock systems, combustion conditions that lose a large fraction of the available chemical energy due to dissociation ... -
Densification Mechanisms for Spark Plasma Sintering in Alumina and Alumina Based Systems
(2018-03-19)The densification mechanisms of polycrystalline α-alumina by spark plasma sintering are highly contradictory, with different research groups suggesting diffusion to dislocation controlled mechanisms to be rate controlling. ... -
