Development of wrought Mg-Li based alloys with improved strength and ductility
A comprehensive investigation has been undertaken to develop cold rolled Mg-Li based alloys with tensile properties superior to the existing commercial or experimental Mg-Li based alloys. In this endeavor, melting and ...
Quality-quantity trade off during antibody production and the design of optimal passive immunization protocols
Passive immunization has been used classically to rapidly clear antigen
and reduce disease burden. Surprisingly, recent studies have found passive
immunization to induce lasting improvements in the humoral response, ...
Preliminary Investigation into the Cold Plasma Powered Water Gas Shift Reaction – Experiments And Analysis
Water gas shift reaction (CO + H2O ↔ H2 + CO2) is a CO oxidation reaction in the presence of steam resulting in the formation of H2 and CO2. Traditionally, water gas shift (WGS) reaction is achieved using multiple catalytic ...
An advection velocity correction scheme for interface tracking using the level-set method
An advection velocity correction (AVC) scheme for interface tracking using the
level-set method is presented in this thesis. The key idea is to apply a correction
to the interface advection velocity at points adjacent ...
Spherical Indentation Response of Bulk and Thin Film Shape Memory Alloys
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have the ability to recover large strains upon undergoing a thermomechanical cycle. In addition to being used as structural elements, they can be patterned as thin films which can be employed in ...
Biofilm Reactors for Greywater Treatment
Greywater (GW) is the fraction of wastewater discharged in houses that has not been contaminated with faeces. The average volumes of greywater generated in the households of Bengaluru varies between 40-70 litres/cap/day ...
Structural Reliability Estimation Using Markov Chain Splitting and Girsanov’s Transformation Based Methods
The work reported in this thesis is in the area of Monte Carlo simulation based methods for structural reliability estimation with special focus on strategies to reduce sampling variance of the estimator for the probability ...
Subsurface Profiling of Shallow Bedrock Sites by Integrated Approach and Site-specific 2d Site Response Analysis
Estimation of reliable site effects and amplifications are important for seismic design. There are several 1D and 2D large scale site response analyses were reported in the literature and very limited shallow bedrock small ...
A Unified Framework For Micromechanical Damage Modeling In Laminated Polymer Matrix Composites
A unified numerical framework for progressive damage analysis in polymer matrix composite
(PMC) laminates has been developed by explicitly accounting for damage progression
at the micro-level. A three-dimensional repeating ...
Biodiesel from Estuarine Microalgae - Diatoms
Rapidly depleting fossil fuel reserves with the burgeoning demand, associated escalating GHG footprint, and changes in the climate necessitated the exploration of alternate sustainable energy resources that are renewable, ...
