Aggregate and Disaggregate-level Models of Public Transit Ridership in Bengaluru, India
Ridership forecasting models are valuable tools for public transit agencies to assess and
quantify the possible impacts of their operational strategies and service improvements on transit
demand and revenue. Although ...
Mesoscale Modelling of sheared lamellar mesophases
The lamellar phase or smectic lyotropic liquid crystalline medium, which
is made up of alternating flat sheets of water and surfactant bilayers shearing
past each other in an imposed flow. Surprisingly, In practical ...
Uniaxial Fatigue Behavior of Freestanding Platinum-Aluminide (PtAl) Bond Coat
Pt-aluminide (PtAl) bond coat is used as a part of Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) system on Ni-base superalloy components in advanced gas turbine aeroengines. The thickness of B2-NiAl intermetallic based diffused coating ...
Investigation of multiscale biological phenomenon using kinetic modeling and molecular dynamics simulations
Biological systems inherently function at multiple spatial and temporal scales by integrating information across these scales. In this thesis, we are interested in investigating two classes of biological phenomena that ...
Exploring Hydrological Processes, Modeling Decisions, and Deep Learning for Improved Hydrologic Assessment
Hydrological modeling is complicated by the intricate challenges and uncertainties associated with understanding hydrological processes. This thesis aims at answering some of the key research questions related to ...
Micromechanical understanding of the macroscopic features of dense granular materials
The prevalence of granular materials in nature (soil, beach sand, rubble pile asteroids) and in several industries (cement, food grains, pharmaceutical powders) has motivated extensive research towards understanding the ...
Numerical Simulations of Deforming Capsules and Cells in a flow
Understanding the evolution of deforming capsules and cells in various flow configurations can assist in better diagnosis of diseases like Malaria and sickle cell anemia. Flow of deformable capsules is also useful in ...
Exploration of Design Thinking in School Education
This thesis comprehensively investigates the integration of design thinking into education, focusing on its application in K-12 settings in India. The broad aims of the research work are:
1. To investigate the need to ...
Investigating and Modelling the Microscopic Pedestrian Behavioral Dynamics in Mass Religious Gatherings
Pedestrian models that can realistically reproduce observed pedestrian movement dynamics are crucial in facility planning and pre-event planning of crowded situations. Despite the elaborate arrangements, crowd disasters ...
Effects of 3d Morphological Characteristics of Sand on Multi-scale Intergranular and Sand-geosynthetic Interactions
To understand the process of mobilization of shear strength in sands and sand-geosynthetic interfaces at a fundamental level, it is essential to precisely characterize the size and shape of the grains and the shear-induced ...
