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 ...
Swarm Intelligence And Evolutionary Computation For Single And Multiobjective Optimization In Water Resource Systems
(2008-10-03)
Most of the real world problems in water resources involve nonlinear formulations in
their solution construction. Obtaining optimal solutions for large scale nonlinear
optimization problems is always a challenging task. ...
Uncertainty Analysis of Microwave Based Rainfall Estimates over a River Basin Using TRMM Orbital Data Products
(2018-01-11)
Error characteristics associated with satellite-derived precipitation products are important for atmospheric and hydrological model data assimilation, forecasting, and climate diagnostic applications. This information also ...
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 ...
Ground Displacements and Stresses around Single and Twin Tunnels using Analytical and Numerical Approaches
Significant emphasis is given nowadays on exploring underground space- in the form of
tunnels- for (i) fast commuting in urban areas, (ii) connectivity to remote areas under different
weather conditions, (iii) military ...
Hyperspectral remote sensing for soil property estimation in the context of spectral mixtures
The implementation of sustainable agricultural, hydrological, and environmental management entails an improved understanding of soil properties and its conditions at increasingly finer resolutions. In this context, the ...
Impact Of Large-Scale Coupled Atmospheric-Oceanic Circulation On Hydrologic Variability And Uncertainty Through Hydroclimatic Teleconnection
(2010-06-14)
In the recent scenario of climate change, the natural variability and uncertainty associated with the hydrologic variables is of great concern to the community. This thesis opens up a new area of multi-disciplinary research. ...
Predictability of Nonstationary Time Series using Wavelet and Empirical Mode Decomposition Based ARMA Models
(2018-04-06)
The idea of time series forecasting techniques is that the past has certain information about future. So, the question of how the information is encoded in the past can be interpreted and later used to extrapolate events ...
Seismic evaluation of 3D tunnels in near fault ground motion using domain reduction method
Underground tunnels are an essential part of transportation and utility networks, and their vulnerability to earthquakes has significant socio-economic impacts. Tunnels have suffered substantial damage in past earthquakes, ...
Experimental and Numerical Evaluation of Mechanical Response of Unsaturated Soils and Their Application to Embankments and Footings
Naturally, soils are rarely fully saturated, and climatic and environmental conditions frequently cause moisture content to change. Due to the varying climate changes and its effects on compacted engineering structures, ...
