Space-Time Gauge Theories for Continuum Modelling of Viscoplasticity, Damage And Electro-Magneto-Mechanical Phenomena in Solids
Over the years, sustained research efforts have aimed to understand the material behaviour
under a broad range of response regimes, especially from micromechanical or phenomenological
perspectives — via both continuum ...
On the development of sensible heat storage for concentrated solar power applications: Thermo-fluid management and materials
Sensible heat storages have extensive use in thermal energy deployment, including concentrated
solar power (CSP) applications. Usually, CSP pants demand various techno-economic features
in sensible heat storage, such as ...
A Fundamental Investigation Of Discrete Liquid, Gas And Fines Flow In A Random Packed Bed Along With Applications
The discontinuous nature of liquid flow in a random packed bed is observed in many chemical engineering and metallurgical applications like blast furnace and heap leaching. So, to model the liquid flow in these systems, ...
Study of gas-fine flow in a packed bed with an application to the ironmaking blast furnace
The iron and steelmaking industry uses coal as the primary reducing agent. The carbon that is the major component of coal is finally released into the environment as carbon dioxide. One of the effective ways to reduce the ...
Microscale mechanical behaviour of ceramic matrix composites considering processing e ects
The current work explores the phenomenon of microscale damage mechanism driven quasi-
ductile behaviour of C/BN/SiC ceramic matrix composite (CMC) at the microscale focusing
on process-microstructure-property correlations. ...
Studies on Processed Granulated Blast Furnace Slag as Fine Aggregate in Mortars and Concrete
Fine aggregate is essential for the preparation of mortar and concrete. There are attempts to find alternatives to the river sand as the natural sources for fine aggregates are dwindling. Currently, sand mining from river ...
Molecular dynamics investigations of the bacterial cell envelope: Elucidating differential barriers for antimicrobials
The bacterial cell envelopes possess a complex multilayered architecture exhibiting
unique properties evolved to regulate interactions with the external environment
and molecules with antimicrobial properties. A molecular ...
Liquefaction Resistance and Cyclic Response of Air - Injected Desaturated Clean Sandy Soil: Experimental and Numerical Investigations
Liquefaction has been one of the major concerns in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering. Various mitigation techniques such as vibroflotation, deep dynamic compaction, explosive compaction, grouting, deep soil ...
Microbially-induced Mineral Flocculation and Flotation with Proteins and Polysaccharides Isolated from Paenibacillus
The most significant environmental issue that has arisen in the mining industries over the last decade is that of acid mine drainage (AMD) from tailing dumps and waste mined rock piles. AMD is caused by the oxidation of ...
Methodologies for Risk Assessment of Landslides Induced by Rainfall and Earthquake
Landslide is one of the greatest natural catastrophes and poses a major threat to lives and property worldwide. As development expands into unstable hill areas under the pressure of increasing population and urbanisation, ...
