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 aspects of cavitation phenomena in centrifugal pumps
The work reported in this thesis has a fourfold objective, namely, to study: The influence of Froude number on the inception of cavitation in radial flow pumps. The influence of prerotation on the cavitation performance ... -
Some characteristics of branch channel flow
This thesis comprises three parts. The first part contains literature survey, the second part the theoretical analysis, experimental verification and results, and the third part the development of a precision point gauge. ... -
Some Studies on branch channel Flow
In the present investigation, methods are suggested to predict the flow into a branch taking off from a main channel, maintaining subcritical flow in the main and supercritical in the branch channel. The methods are based ... -
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 ... -
Some studies on resistance to flow in rigid bed open channels
This thesis embodies the results of the investigations carried out by the author on the problem of resistanc-e to flow through open channels. Based on these> the author was able to modify Manning's formula, so as to ... -

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 ... -
Static and Dynamic Behavior of Reinforced Masonry : Experimental and Analytical Investigations
(2018-07-18)The most common form of dwellings in rural and semi-urban areas of India and other developing countries around the globe are one/two storey unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. It is well known that such masonry buildings ... -
Static And Dynamic Behaviour Of Cement Stabilised Rammed Earth Panels And Building Models
(2011-01-10)Rammed earth is one of the earliest building materials used for structural walls. Stabilised rammed earth is a variant of traditional or pure rammed earth that involves addition of a small amount of cement to improve ... -
Steady State Dynamics Of Systems With Fractional Order Derivative Damping Models
(2011-01-10)Rubber like materials find wide applications in damping treatment of structures, vibration isolations and they appear prominently in the form of hoses in many structures such as aircraft engines. The study reported in this ... -
Steady two-dimensional seepage flow analysis analytical and numerical methods
The primary aim of the present work is to study the influence of sloping boundaries with discontinuities in slopes and the effect of surfaces of seepage on seepage characteristics in case of confined and unconfined flows ...
