Macroscopic crowd flow and risk modelling in mass religious gathering
Understanding the principles and applications of crowd dynamics in mass gatherings is very important, specifically with respect to crowd risk analysis and crowd safety. Historical trends from India and other countries ... -
Macroscopic modelling of heterogeneous, disordered road traffic flow
The groundwork for much of the existing traffic flow theory was laid in the 1950s and 1960s by researchers from developed economies like the United States. The car-following modelling approach, which is arguably the most ... -
A Magnesia Based Sustainable Method For De-Fluoridation Of Contaminated Groundwater
(2010-10-14)Groundwater is a major and sometimes lone source of drinking water worldwide. The chemical composition of groundwater is a combined product of the composition of water that enters the aquifer and its reaction with various ... -
Magnesium Matrix-Nano Ceramic Composites By In-situ Pyrolysis Of Organic Precursors In A Liquid Melt
(2013-06-20)In this thesis, a novel in-situ method for incorporating nanoscale ceramic particles into metal has been developed. The ceramic phase is introduced as an organic-polymer precursor that pyrolyzes in-situ to produce a ceramic ... -
Maintaining Underwater Cassie State for Sustained Drag Reduction in Channel Flow
(2018-02-21)Water droplets tend to bead up on rough or textured hydrophobic surfaces by trapping air on the crevices underneath resulting in “Cassie” state of wetting. When a textured hydrophobic surface is immersed in water, the ... -
Manufacture and Evaluation of Cast Aluminum Foam Heat Exchangers
(2018-08-14)Metal foams have many attractive properties such as light weight, low relative density, energy absorption capability etc. One of the main advantages of metal foam is that the foam inherits several properties of the parent ... -

Matrix cracking in polymer matrix composites under static and fatigue loading
Matrix cracking is the first and most dominant mode of damage in polymer matrix composite (PMC) laminates resulting in significant stiffness degradation under static and fatigue loading. Matrix crack evolution and its ... -
Mean Field Study Of Point Defects In B2-NiAl
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-22)Point defects control many properties of technological importance in intermetallic compounds such as atomic diffusion, creep, hardness, mechanical properties and sintering. Farther, since intermetallic compounds are ... -
Measurement And Analysis Of Friction Induced By A Cutting Operation Lubricated By Oil In Water Emulsion
(2013-09-05)The lubricants that are applied during metal cutting acts on the interface between the tool and the nascent surfaces generated by the cutting process. Dispersions of oil in water made using suitable emulsifier(s) are used ... -
Measurement Of Static Pressure Over Bodies In Hypersonic Shock Tunnel Using MEMS-Based Pressure Sensor Array
(2013-10-08)Hypersonic flow is both fascinating and intriguing mainly because of presence of strong entropy and viscous interactions in the flow field. Notwithstanding the tremendous advancements in numerical modeling in the last ... -
Measurements And Modelling Of Internal Waves In The Northeastern Arabian Sea
(2010-08-30)Internal waves (IWs) owe their existence to the stratification in the medium. These waves affect acoustic transmission greatly. Impact of these waves on acoustic transmission in deep water is fairly well understood due ... -
Measuring Three-dimensional Deformations of Elastic Ribbons
Experimental techniques to measure and visualize kinematics in structural and solid mechanics range from humble strain gage rosettes to sophisticated digital image correlation methods. This thesis develops a stereo ... -
