Seismic Site Classification and Response Studies of Shallow Bedrock Sites
Among all-natural hazards, earthquakes are the most damaging in terms of loss of lives and damage to infrastructure. Amplification and liquefaction are the major effects of earthquake that cause massive damages to ...
Concentration Gradient Driven Natural Convection in Soluble Lead Redox Flow Batteries
Low cost and long cycle-life energy storage systems are needed to harness renewable
sources of energy at large scale. Among the options available, redox
ow batteries
(RFB) offer the maximum potential. The vanadium based ...
Evaluation of Hygrothermal Ageing In Cfrp Composite Material: A Study Using Non-destructive Techniques
Advanced composite materials are replacing conventional metals/alloys in aerospace
industries due to their excellent strength and stiffness-to-density ratio as well as some
other better physical and mechanical properties ...
Spatial downscaling and analysis of satellite and ground-based rainfall for hydrological modelling
Precipitation is a vital element of the global hydrological and energy cycles, which is intermittent and highly variable in both space and time. Accurate measurements of precipitation at various space and time scales are ...
Investigating the role of mantle convection in affecting surface deformation and topography in the Indian plate and the India-Eurasia collision zone
The India-Eurasia collision zone has been a subject of various studies that have tried to explain the forces behind the high elevation and large scale continental deformation in this region. However, the relative contribution ...
Design, Fabrication and Application of In situ Total Internal Reflection (TIR) Raman Tribometer For the Chemical Analysis of Tribological Systems
In conventional tribological experiments that study friction and wear behavior of materials, the contact interface is hidden by the contacting bodies. The physical or chemical phenomena taking place at the interface must ...
Fatigue Crack Growth in Roller-Rocker and Rocker Bearings of Railway Steel Bridges
Indian Railways comprise a major part of the infrastructure in India. Most of the transportation of raw materials, goods, and people from different parts of the country is done by the railways. To cope with the ever-increasing ...
Effect of High-Pressure Torsion and Natural Ageing on Hardness, Electrical Resistivity and Fatigue Properties of Commercially Pure Cu
Commercially pure Cu was processed through high-pressure torsion (HPT) at a pressure of 6 GPa starting from ¼ up to 50 turns. These samples were then naturally aged for 1.75 years under the laboratory condition. Subsequently, ...
Vertical Structure of Convective Clouds Using the TRMM PR Data
Very small fractional area (0.1%) occupied by the cumulonimbus (Cb) clouds belies their
importance in Earths hydrological cycle and climate. For example, Riehl and Malkus
(1958) estimated that the vertical transport of ...
Design and Development of a Novel Solar Thermal Receiver
One of the most widely used solar collectors for process heating and large scale electricity generation is the parabolic trough collector (PTC), in which a tube placed at the focus of the parabola receives concentrated ...
