Activation Of Fly Ash-Lime Reactions By Curing At Elevated Temperature And By Addition Of Phosphogypsum
(2013-06-04)
Pozzolanic reactions play a key role in improving the compressive strengths of compacted fly ash-lime specimens. Based on studies performed with cement amended fly ash (FA), activation of fly ash-lime pozzolanic reactions ...
Effect of Extractives and Crude Proteins on the Kinetics of Hydrolysis in a Solid State Bio-Reactor
(2018-04-18)
Polymer hydrolysis is the first (and rate limiting) step for biomethanation of heterogeneous biomass feedstock’s. Satisfactory hydrolysis has been difficult to achieve, understand and predict adequately, to run anaerobic ...
Supporting Novelty In Conceptual Phase Of Engineering Design
(2013-10-08)
Current design models, approaches and theories are highly fragmented, have seldom been compared with one another, and rarely attempted to be consolidated. Novelty is a measure of creativity of engineering products and ...
Understanding Context In Designing
(2009-05-25)
Everything around us that is not a simple untouched piece of nature has been designed by someone. Human society has found a great refuge in these designed objects or the artefacts, and thus has adapted vociferously to their ...
Vulnerability of Forests to Climatic and Non-Climatic Stressors : A Multi-Scale Assessment for Indian Forests
(2018-06-05)
During the 21st century, climatic change and non-climatic stressors are likely to impact forests leading to large-scale forest and biodiversity loss, and diminished ecological benefits. Assessing the vulnerability of ...
A Geometric Framework For Vision Modeling In Digital Human Models Using 3D Tessellated Head Scans
(2011-08-25)
The present work deals with the development of a computational geometric framework for vision modeling for performing visibility and legibility analyses in Digital Human Modeling (DHM) using the field-of-view (FoV), estimated ...
A Feasibility Map-Based Framework and Its Implementation for Selection in Engineering Design
(2018-06-26)
A pragmatic method for selecting components and devices from a database or parameterized models is developed in this thesis. The quantitative framework presented here is sufficiently general to accommodate an entire device ...
Expermental and Modeling Studies on the Generation of Hydrogen Rich Syngas through Oxy-Steam Gasification of Biomass
(2018-02-20)
The present work focuses on the study of biomass gasification process for generating hydrogen rich synthetic gas with oxy-steam as reactants using experiments and modeling studies. Utilization of the syngas as a fuel in ...
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 ...
Development of Multipoint Haptic Device for Spatial Palpation
(2018-05-25)
This thesis deals with the development of novel haptic array system that can render distributed pressure pattern. The haptic devices are force feedback interfaces, which are widely seen from consumer products to tele-surgical ...
