A 3D Lattice Model For Fracture Of Concrete : A Multiscale Approach
(2013-09-10)It is quite well known that fracture behavior of concrete is complex and is influenced by several factors. Apart from material properties, geometric parameters influence fracture behavior and one notable phenomenon is size ... -
Adaptive reduced order modeling of dynamical systems through novel a posteriori error estimators : Application to uncertainty quantification
Multi-query problems such as uncertainty quantification, optimization of a dynamical system require solving a governing differential equation at multiple parameter values. Therefore, for large systems, the computational ... -
Analyses Of Two-Layer Soil Systems Beneath Rigid Footings

Analysis and Modelling of Activity-Travel Behaviour of Non-Workers from an Indian City
(2018-07-16)Indian cities have been witnessing rapid transformation due to the synergistic effect of industrialisation, flourishing-economy, motorisation, population explosion, and migration. The alarming increase in travel demand as ... -
Analysis of Fracture Processes in Steel Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites using Acoustic Emission Testing
Plain concrete has low tensile strength. Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is an alternative to plain concrete. One of the major reasons of using the SFRC is due to its high tensile strength. The fracture process ... -
Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles in Clayey Soils with Sloping Ground
In the present study, a small scale 1-g model test has been developed in the laboratory to study the behaviour of a long flexible single pile embedded in a slope of soft clay with different slope angles and L/D ratios, and ... -
Analysis Of Precipitation Controls On Hydrochemistry Of A Groundwater System : Application To Upper Cauvery Basin : South India
(2011-01-10)Groundwater chemistry is a function of recharge and the input chemistry of the rain, which gets transformed as it moves through the soil matrix. Apart from mineral transformations, anthropogenic activities are other external ... -
Analysis Of Solute Transport In Porous Media For Nonreactive And Sorbing Solutes Using Hybrid FCT Model
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-06)The thesis deals with the numerical modeling of nonreactive and nonlinearly sorbing solutes in groundwater and analysis of the effect of heterogeneity resulting from spatial variation of physical and chemical parameters ... -
Analytical and Numerical Modeling for Heat Transport in a Geothermal Reservoir due to Cold Water Injection
(2018-01-09)Geothermal energy is the energy naturally present inside the earth crust. When a large volume of hot water and steam is trapped in subsurface porous and permeable rock structure and a convective circulating current is set ... -
Analytical Models For Stress-Strain Response Of Fiber-Reinforced Soil And Municipal Solid Waste
(2011-04-01)The present thesis proposes model for the analyses of stress-strain response of fiber reinforced soil and municipal solid waste (MSW). The concept of reinforcing soils by introducing tension resisting elements such as ... -
Analytical Response Sensitivity Using Hybrid Finite Elements

Analyzing Inter-modal Competition Between High Speed Rail and Conventional Transport Modes in Indian Context
Indian Railway provides an important mode of public transport in India. This is the most commonly used and cost effective long-distance transport system of the country. Indian Railways has played an immense role in ... -
Application Of Polynomial Reproducing Schemes To Nonlinear Mechanics
(2011-03-15)The application of polynomial reproducing methods has been explored in the context of linear and non linear problems. Of specific interest is the application of a recently developed reproducing scheme, referred to as the ... -
An Application of Resonant Column along with Bender Elements Tests for Assessing Dynamic Properties and Liquefaction Potential of Sand
For determining the response of foundation soils subjected to different kinds of vibrations emerging from (i) an occurrence of an earthquake, (ii) movements of trains over railways tracks, (iii) running of vehicles over ... -
Approaches to Regional Analysis of Hydro-Meteorological Processes and Extremes
Regional analysis of hydrometeorological variables (e.g., evapotranspiration, precipitation), hydrological processes (e.g., runoff), and their extremes (e.g., drought, floods) is essential for various applications. The ...
