Analysis Of Solar Pumped Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-10-11)Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser(COIL) is an electronic transition high energy chemical laser having a wavelength of 1.315 /mi. This is the first chemical laser to operate on an electronic rather than a rotational or vibrational ... -
Analysis Of Solute Transport In Porous Media For Nonreactive And Sorbing Solutes Using Hybrid FCT Model
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-06)The thesis deals with the numerical modeling of nonreactive and nonlinearly sorbing solutes in groundwater and analysis of the effect of heterogeneity resulting from spatial variation of physical and chemical parameters ... -
Analysis Of Squeeze Film Damping In Microdevices
(2012-12-12)There are various energy dissipation mechanisms that affect the dynamic response of microstructures used in MEMS devices. A cumulative effect of such losses is captured by an important characteristic of the structure called ... -
Analysis of the Flow of Granular Materials through a Screw Conveyor
Screw conveyors are widely employed in industry for the bulk transport of particulate materials. Several studies have attempted to correlate the discharge rate with the rotation speed of the screw via experiments and ... -
Analysis of Thick Laminated Composite Beams using Variational Asymptotic Method
(2018-06-18)An asymptotically-exact methodology is presented for obtaining the cross-sectional stiffness matrix of a pre-twisted, moderately-thick beam having rectangular cross sections and made of transversely isotropic material. The ... -
Analysis of Transcritical CO2 and CO2+ Propane Mixtures for Tropical Cooling Applications
The increasing global average ambient temperatures coupled with stringent environmental regulations has turned the focus on natural working fluids such as Carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydrocarbons for use in the refrigeration ... -
Analysis of Unsteady Incompressible Potential Flow Over a Swimming Slender Fish and a Swept Wing Tail
(2018-05-16)This thesis deals with computing the pressure distribution around a swimming slender fish and the thrust generated by its flapping motion. The body of the fish is modeled as a missile like slender body to which a tail is ... -
Analysis of Vehicle Dynamics and Control of Occupant Biodynamics using a Novel Multi-Occupant Vehicle Model
(2018-06-26)Due to the detrimental effects of ride vibrations on occupants and increasing safety concerns, improvement in vehicle dynamic characteristics has become a key focus of researchers. Typically, ride and handling problems ... -
Analytical and Numerical Modeling for Heat Transport in a Geothermal Reservoir due to Cold Water Injection
(2018-01-09)Geothermal energy is the energy naturally present inside the earth crust. When a large volume of hot water and steam is trapped in subsurface porous and permeable rock structure and a convective circulating current is set ... -
Analytical Investigations on Linear And Nonlinear Wave Propagation in Structural-acoustic Waveguides
(2017-09-26)This thesis has two parts: In the first part, we study the dispersion characteristics of structural-acoustic waveguides by obtaining closed-form solutions for the coupled wave numbers. Two representative systems are ... -
Analytical Modelling and Non-linear Characterisation of Piezoelectric Materials for Actuation and Vibration Control of Beams
(2018-08-29)The use of piezoelectric materials for actuation, and vibration suppression of thin beams, is the subject of study in this doctoral thesis. The initial focus is set on reducing beam vibrations with resistively shunted ... -
Analytical Models For Stress-Strain Response Of Fiber-Reinforced Soil And Municipal Solid Waste
(2011-04-01)The present thesis proposes model for the analyses of stress-strain response of fiber reinforced soil and municipal solid waste (MSW). The concept of reinforcing soils by introducing tension resisting elements such as ... -
