In Situ Transmission Elecron Microscope Triboprobe For Tribological Studies Of Materials At Nanoscale
(2013-09-10)In most of the tribological experiments studying friction and wear behaviour, the contact interface is hidden. The present work attempts to overcome this hidden-interface problem by carrying out real-time tribological ... -
In-Cylinder Experimental and Modeling Studies on Producer Gas Fuelled Operation of Spark Iginited Gas Engines
(2018-08-10)The current work, through experimental and numerical investigations, analyses the process and cycle level deviations in engine response on fuelling multi-cylinder natural gas engines with producer gas. Producer gas is a ... -
In-Situ Polymer Derived Nano Particle Metal Matrix Composites Developed by Friction Stir Processing
(2018-08-10)Ceramic metal matrix composites (CMMCs) are materials generally created by mixing of hard ceramic particles in a metal matrix. They were expected to combine the ductility and toughness of the metal with the high strength ... -
Inactivation of Microorganisms by Photocatalysis
(2018-02-20)Photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation process, which has shown to possess an enhanced capability to remove a wide range of contaminants. It involves the use of a semiconductor photocatalyst and a photon source. Photocatalysis ... -
Inclusive and Eye-Gaze Controlled Human-Robot Interaction for Persons with Severe Speech and Motor Impairment
Most individuals perform various activities of daily living without having to con sciously think and plan about them. People talk, cook their food, move around the house, drive to their workplace and schools, play sports, ... -

Influence of Chemical Coating on Droplet Impact Dynamics
(2018-03-09)Dynamic behavior of impacting water drops on superhydrophobic solid surfaces provides important details on the stability/durability of such solid surfaces. Multi-scale surface roughness combined with a layer of low energy ... -
Influence of Chemo-Mechanical Factors on Compression and Undrained Strengths of Soft Kaolinites Prepared using Synthetic Seawater
(2017-11-28)Marine clay deposits are characterized by very soft to soft consistencies (undrained strength 1-50 kPa), presence of saline pore solution and low-swelling clays. Besides, loss of metastable structure on disturbance, poor ... -
Influence of Contact Stresses on Shape Recovery in Sputter Deposited NiTiCu Thin Films
(2017-10-05)NiTiCu is a shape memory alloy that regains its original shape after large amount of shape changing deformation when heated above a critical temperature called reverse martensitic trans-formation temperature( Af). When ... -
Influence of Electric Field on the Global and Local Structure in the Ferroelectric Ceramic Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3 and its Solid Solutions with BaTiO3 and K1/2Bi1/2TiO3
(2018-08-14)Ferroelectric ceramics are very promising materials for a variety of piezoelectric applications such as high permittivity dielectrics, piezoelectric sensors, piezoelectric/electrostrictive transducers, actuators, electro-optic ... -
Influence of Hydrodynamic Slip on the Wake Dynamics and Convective Transport in Flow Past a Circular Cylinder
(2018-06-14)Hydrodynamic slip is known to suppress vorticity production at the solid-fluid boundary in bluff body flows. This suppression combined with the enhanced vorticity convection results in a substantial reduction in the unsteady ... -
Influence Of Joint Compliance On The Behaviour Of Space Structures
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-06)Space structures are inevitable while covering large spans. Space structures are skeletal structures, which are lighter for the same stiffness when compared with RCC roofs. Till now, space structures, like any other metal ... -
Influence Of Osmotic Suction On The Swell And Compression Behaviour Of Compacted Expansive Clays
(2008-11-03)Total suction of unsaturated soils is contributed by matric and osmotic suctions. Matric suction arises from capillary actions in the soil structure and varies with changes in moisture content of the soil. Pore fluid ... -
Influence of Permeation of Synthetic Groundwater Solutions on the Hydro-Mechanical Proerties of Barmer Bentonite
(2018-04-11)The deep geological repository concept is based on “engineered barriers systems (EBS)” that are constructed in the repository and “natural barriers” provided by the surrounding geological environment. The EBS comprises of ... -
Influence of River Discharge on Climate in A Coupled Model
(2018-04-05)River discharge can affect ocean surface temperature by altering stratification within the oceanic mixed layer. A hitherto unexplored aspect of present climate is the feedback of river runoff onto climate. This thesis ... -
Influence of Surface Topography and Roughness on Lubrication, Friction and Scuffing in High Hardness Steels
In tribology engineering, friction control is a significant challenge. The interacting surfaces of mechanical components are typically designed for best efficiency during tribological operations and are primarily achieved ... -
Influence of Surface Topography and Tribosystem on Reciprocating Friction in Sparsely Lubricated Contacts
Surface texturing to achieve reduced sliding friction has been a widely studied topic, as seen in contemporary literature. Laser surface texturing, grinding and ion beam milling are popular techniques accepted by researchers ...
