Prediction Of Engineering Properties Of Fine-Grained Soils From Their Index Properties
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-04-27)Prediction as a tool in engineering has been used in taking right judgement in many of the professional activities. This being the fact, the role and significance of prediction in geotechnical practice needs no emphasis. ... -
Numerical Analysis Of Large Size Horizontal Strip Anchors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-03-23)Structures like transmission towers, tele-communication masts, dry-docks, tall chimneys, tunnels and burried pipelines under water etc are subjected to considerable uplift forces. The net effect of external loading on the ... -
Modeling Constitutive Behavior And Hot Rolling Of Steels
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-03-17)Constitutive behavior models for steels are typically semi-empirical, however recently neural network is also being used. Existing neural network models are highly complex with a large network structure i.e. the number ... -
Symmetry-Breaking Transitions In Equilibrium Shapes Of Coherent Precipitates
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-22)We present a general approach for determining the equilibrium shape of isolated, coherent, misfitting particles by minimizing the sum of elastic and interfacial energies using a synthesis of finite element and optimization ... -
Study Of Friction And Wear Behaviour Of Nano-Embedded Aluminium Alloys
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-22)In general, the bearing alloys have two types of microstructure i.e., either a soft matrix with discrete hard particles or a continuous matrix of the harder metal with small amount of the softer metal finely dispersed in ... -
Studies On Corrosion Of Some Structural Materials In Deep Sea Environment
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-22)Efficient exploitation and conservation of the oceans poses great technological challenges for scientists and engineers who must develop materials, structures and equipment for use in harsh environment of the oceans. For ... -
Studies On Bio-Oxidation A Refractory Gold Containing Sulphidic Concentrate With Respect To Optimization And Modeling
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-22)Although bacterial leaching of sulphidic minerals is a well-known phenomenon, it is only in the last ten years that full-scale bacterial leaching plants have been commissioned for gold processing. In order for bacterial ... -
Metastable Phases In Mg-Based Alloys
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-22)Mg-based alloys form a variety of interesting structures including stable and metastable crystalline, stable and metastable quasicrystalline, nanocrystalline and amorphous phases. Many of these phases can be made to coexist ... -
Mean Field Study Of Point Defects In B2-NiAl
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-22)Point defects control many properties of technological importance in intermetallic compounds such as atomic diffusion, creep, hardness, mechanical properties and sintering. Farther, since intermetallic compounds are ... -
Cold Model Study Of Formation And Breaking Of Raceway
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-22)The raceway in the ironmaking blast furnace is a void in front of the hot blast tuyeres where coke and supplementary fuel burn to supply heat to the ironmaking process. The air velocity through the tuyeres is high (around ... -
Processing And Characterization Of B4C Particle Reinforced Al-5%Mg Alloy Matrix Composites
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-22)Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are emerging as advanced engineering materials for application in aerospace, defence, automotive and consumer industries (sports goods etc.). In MMCs, a metallic base material is reinforced ... -
