VENTURI STUDIES WITH WATER ON CAVITATIOK INCEPTION CAVITY CHARACTERISTICS AND CAVITATION EROSION BEHIND BLUFF BODIES
Cavitation is defined as the formation, growth and collapse of vapour or gas? and vapour?filled bubbles in a liquid subjected to reduced pressures (of the order of the vapour pressure of the liquid) at constant ambient ... -
Vibration Analysis Of Structures Built Up Of Randomly Inhomogeneous Curved And Straight Beams Using Stochastic Dynamic Stiffness Matrix Method
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-19)Uncertainties in load and system properties play a significant role in reliability analysis of vibrating structural systems. The subject of random vibrations has evolved over the last few decades to deal with uncertainties ... -
Vibration of cables under determministic and randon excitations.
Conclusions i) A new method of linear analysis has been developed to handle the non planar free vibration behaviour of cables in the presence of a spatially non uniform lateral load. ii) If the lateral load, even though ... -
Vibration Testing of Structures under Random Support Excitations
(2018-07-30)Vibration testing of structures constitutes a crucial step in design and commissioning of engineering structures. The focus here is on simulating field conditions in a laboratory so that detailed investigations of the ... -
Virtual Element Methods for Phase Field Fracture: Mesh Transitions, Composite Damage, and Stabilization-Free Formulations
Accurate simulation of crack propagation requires discretization methods that combine geometric flexibility with computational efficiency. Although the finite element method (FEM) and its variants remain the widely used ... -
Water Balance Studies In A Small Experimental Forested Watershed, South India
(2011-04-01)Forested watersheds play a dominant role in the global hydrological cycle. Very few experimental observatories especially in tropical forested regions of India have been undertaken. This study has been initiated for this ... -
Weakly cemented granular materials: study at multiple length scales
Cemented granular systems are encountered at various scales in nature and artificially. We present an experimental study carried out on the structure and mechanical behaviour of weakly cemented granular materials. We study ...
