A multi-physics-based modelling approach to predict mechanical and thermo-mechanical behaviour of cementitious composite in a multi-scale framework
Concrete is a heterogeneous material whose constituents (e.g., cement paste, aggregate etc.) range from a characteristic length-scale dimension of a nanometre to a metre. Owing to the heterogeneity of concrete and the ... -
Local Projection Stabilization Methods for the Oseen Problem
Finite element approximation of fluid flow problems with dominant convection exhibit spurious oscillations. To eliminate these nonphysical oscillations one needs to incorporate stabilizations that can curb the effect of ... -
Design and Development of Implantable Electrode Arrays for Recording Signals from Rat’s Brain
Seizure is a neurological disorder due to abnormal, excessive, and hypersynchronous discharges from an aggregate of central nervous system neurons. Epilepsy describes the clinical phenomena of a condition of recurrent and ... -
On the development of sensible heat storage for concentrated solar power applications: Thermo-fluid management and materials
Sensible heat storages have extensive use in thermal energy deployment, including concentrated solar power (CSP) applications. Usually, CSP pants demand various techno-economic features in sensible heat storage, such as ... -
