Simulation and Characterization of Streamflow Time Series
Streamflow can be partitioned into distinct time scales to better understand the underlying governing processes: fast flow, representing surface runoff controlled mainly by meteorological processes that operate over ... -
Simulation of complex plastic flows in metal sliding and cutting
Metal manufacturing encompasses a broad range of mechanical transformation processes that shape native metal into useful forms. These processes generally involve the interaction of a hard tool with a specimen / workpiece, ... -
Site Characterization and Assessment of Various Earthquake Hazards for Micro and Micro-Level Seismic Zonations of Regions in the Peninsular India
(2018-07-28)Past earthquakes have demonstrated that Indian sub-continent is highly vulnerable to earthquake hazards. It has been estimated that about 59 percent of the land area of the Indian subcontinent has potential risk from ... -
Site Characterization And Seismic Hazard Analysis With Local Site Effects For Microzonation Of Bangalore
(2010-05-25)Seismic hazard and microzonation of cities enable to characterize the potential seismic areas that need to be taken into account when designing new structures or retrofitting the existing ones. Study of seismic hazard and ... -
A Smooth Finite Element Method Via Triangular B-Splines
(2013-07-25)A triangular B-spline (DMS-spline)-based finite element method (TBS-FEM) is proposed along with possible enrichment through discontinuous Galerkin, continuous-discontinuous Galerkin finite element (CDGFE) and stabilization ... -
Smooth Finite Element Methods with Polynomial Reproducing Shape Functions
(2018-04-03)A couple of discretization schemes, based on an FE-like tessellation of the domain and polynomial reproducing, globally smooth shape functions, are considered and numerically explored to a limited extent. The first one ... -
Soil Moisture Modelling, Retrieval From Microwave Remote Sensing And Assimilation In A Tropical Watershed
(2016-03-01)The knowledge of soil moisture is of pronounced importance in various applications e.g. flood control, agricultural production and effective water resources management. These applications require the knowledge of spatial ... -
Solutions For Plane Strain And Axisymmetric Geomechanics Problems With Lower Bound Finite Elements Limit Analysis
(2011-04-05)The present thesis illustrates the application of the lower bound limit analysis in combination with finite elements and linear programming for obtaining the numerical solutions for various plane strain and axisymmetric ... -
Some Studies On Numerical Models For Fracture Of Concrete
(2013-07-02)Concrete has established itself as the most widely used structural material. There is hardly any place where human life and concrete structure do not exist together. It's use is seen in wide variety of structures like ... -

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 ... -
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 ... -
Stabilisation Of Black Cotton Soil By Lime Piles
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-07)Modification of black cotton soils by chemical admixtures is a common method for stabilizing the swell-shrink tendency of expansive soils. Advantages of chemical stabilization are that they reduce the swell-shrink tendency ... -
Stabilised Rammed Earth For Walls : Materials, Compressive Strength And Elastic Properties
(2011-01-10)Rammed earth is a technique of forming in-situ structural wall elements using rigid formwork. Advantages of rammed earth walls include flexibility in plan form, scope for adjusting strength and wall thickness, variety of ... -
Stability Numbers For Slopes With Associated And Non-Associated Flow Rule And Shake Table Liquefaction Studies
(2007-10-23)Based upon the upper bound limit analysis, the stability numbers have been developed for a two-layered soil slope both for an associated flow rule material and for a homogeneous slope with non-associated flow rule material. ... -
State and Parameter Estimation in Water Distribution Systems
Water Distribution Systems (WDS) are one of the most important infrastructures in a society, which has a direct impact on human lives. Water authorities around the world are expected to supply the required amount of water ...
