Sedimentation – settling of particles in a fluid- is observed in nature like rain droplets and dust particles in the atmosphere, and in a variety of industrial processes, like to clarify liquid as well as separate particles ...

The emergence of new multicomponent high entropy alloys (HEA) has opened up new avenues for development of high performance materials for structural applications [1]. Among all of them, the precipitation strengthened HEAs ...

Classical works on the suspensions of rigid spherical and ellipsoidal particles have been carried out by Einstein and Jeffery. However, in nature and industry, we come across materials that are either deformable or active. ...

The basic concept of thermoelectricity is the conversion of dissipated heat into electricity with applications in the areas such as automobile engineering, refrigerating coolants, satellites, etc. The thermoelectric figure ...

Collective cell migration is characteristic in many physiological processes such as wound closure, morphogenesis, and cancer tumour metastasis. Experiments on cell monolayers demonstrated the formation of finger-like ...

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 ...

Synopsis Tetra-functional epoxy resins are used as a matrix for aerospace composites owing to their excellent mechanical, adhesive, corrosion resistance and thermal properties. Although epoxy is a high-performance ...

The phenomenon of recrystallization and corresponding texture evolution in metallic systems has been studied for several decades yet not understood completely. The complexity of the problem arises due to its dependence on ...

Fire hazards pose an increasingly potent threat to modern societies. Early identification and mitigation of fire hazards are crucial to avoid the loss of human lives and property. Recent research suggests that finely-atomized ...

Plain concrete has low tensile strength. Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is an alternative to plain concrete. One of the major reasons of using the SFRC is due to its high tensile strength. The fracture process ...
