Comparison of Additive and Multiplicative Kinematics in Large Deformation Plasticity
The most widely used plasticity model in commercial finite element analysis software packages is the additive plasticity model. One of the more well-known alternatives to additive plasticity is multiplicative plasticity. ... -
Comprehensine Studies Of Surface Aeration Systems
(2010-04-12)Dissolved oxygen refers to the mass of oxygen that is contained in water. The concentration of dissolved oxygen is an important indicator of the environments water quality. The presence of oxygen in water is desirable ... -
Comprehensive Seismic Hazard Analysis of India
(2018-02-23)Planet earth is restless and one cannot control its inside activities and vibrations those leading to natural hazards. Earthquake is one of such natural hazards that have affected the mankind most. Most of the causalities ... -
Computational analysis of polymer nanocomposites across length scales
Polymer nanocomposites (PNC) exhibit excellent mechanical properties making them a promising material for several engineering applications. The enhancement in properties is primarily attributed to the toughening and ... -
Computational Studies on the Mechanics of Nanotubes and Nanocomposites
(2018-01-09)The discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in 1991 by Iijima revealed the possibility of ultra-strong materials exploiting the properties of materials at smaller length scales. The superior strength, stiffness, and ability ... -
Concrete Fracture And Size Effect - Experimental And Numerical Studies
(2010-10-14)Most materials including concrete have pre-existing flaws or defects. The fracture energy of concrete is a basic material property needed to understand fracture initiation and propagation in concrete. Whether fracture ... -
Conjunctive And Multipurpose Operation Of Reservoirs Using Genetic Algorithms
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)Optimal operation of reservoir systems is necessary for better utilizing the limited water resources and to justify the high capital investments associated with reservoir projects. However, finding optimal policies for ... -
Constitutive Theories for Polymers Using Non-Classical Continuum Mechanics
This thesis is on the development of a few constitutive theories characterising the thermo-mechanical response of polymers. In proposing the theories, some aspects of non-classical continuum mechanics are used. The first ... -
Contaminant Transport through Soil and Effect of Bentonite and super-absorbent Polymer on Transport Parameters
(2018-08-20)The aim of this present research is to improve the containment properties of clayey soil by the use of bentonite and polymers as the additives. Clayey soils are generally used for the control of soil and water pollutions ... -

Data-Driven Prediction of Concrete Behaviour and Performance Enhancement Through CO₂ Inclusion Techniques
Concrete remains the most widely used construction material globally, valued for its versatility, strength, and durability. However, the conventional approach to concrete mix design, governed by empirical codal provisions ... -
Deformation characteristics of soil under sequential dynamic torsional and cyclic axial loading
Earthquake-induced structural damages caused due to site effects, soil liquefaction failure, and associated excessive settlement are well-known worldwide. The primary controlling factor responsible for the superstructure’s ... -
Design Flood Estimation at Ungauged Locations using Geomorphological Characteristics
Estimates of design flood are necessary at locations of hydrologic structures (e.g., flood control dams, barrages) in studies related to their planning, design and risk assessment. In situations, where failure of hydrologic ... -
Detection of Trends in Rainfall of Homogeneous Regions and Hydro-Climatic Variables of Tapi Basin with their Attribution
(2018-07-14)In the present work, methodology of statistical analysis of change evolved by Kundzewicz and Robson (204) is revised to obtain a robust methodology named as “Comprehensive Aproach” which addresses research gaps of earlier ... -
Developing Decision Support for Electric Vehicle (EV) Adoption & Charging Infrastructure Planning
Majorly reliant on petroleum products, the transportation sector accounts for 25% of the global energy demand and 23% of carbon dioxide emissions. Among all the modes of transportation, road vehicles are the primary sources ... -
Developing Frameworks for Evaluating Sustainable Transportation Measures in terms of Quality of Life
The transportation system is one of the main pillars impacting Quality of Life (QOL) as it fulfills people's basic needs by providing access to daily activities. Rapid urbanization, with more people migrating to urban areas ...
