      To mitigate the adverse effects of fossil fuel-based energy, mankind is in constant search of clean and cost-effective sources of energy, such as solar energy. The economic viability of a power plant to harness solar energy mostly depends on the efficiency of solar panels. Investigations over the years show that the solar panel efficiency significantly depends on the different meteorological parameters. ...

      Gupta, Praveen Kumar; Ghosh, Goutam; Kumar, Virendra; Paramasivam, Prabhu; Dhanasekaran, Seshathiri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-07)
      Lead Rubber Bearings (LRBs) represent one of the most widely employed devices for the seismic protection of structures. However, the effectiveness of the same in the case of curved bridges has not been judged well because of the complexity involved in curved bridges, especially in controlling torsional moments. This study investigates the performance of an LRB-isolated horizontally curved ...
    • Experimental probe into an automative engine run on waste cooking oil biodiesel blend at varying engine speeds

      The present work attempts to evaluate the performance of an automotive diesel engine run on waste cooking oil biodiesel (WCO) blend at variable engine speeds. The composition of the blend (B40) used in the study is 40% WCO and 60% diesel by volume and the engine used for the experimentation is a naturally aspirated, watercooled and direct injection type having a compression ratio of 18:1. The ...
    • An investigation of combined effect of infill pattern, density, and layer thickness on mechanical properties of 3D printed ABS by fused filament fabrication 

      Agrawal, Anant Prakash; Kumar, Virendra; Kumar, Jitendra; Paramasivam, Prabhu; Dhanasekaran, Seshathiri; Prasad, Lalta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-23)
      Additive manufacturing technology and its benefits have a significant impact on different industrial applications. The 3D printing technologies help manufacture lightweight intricate geometrical designs with enhanced strengths. The present study investigates the blended effects of previously recommended parameters of different infill patterns (line, triangle, and concentric) and infill densities ...
    • Selection of Response Reduction Factor Considering Resilience Aspect 

      Prasanth, S.; Ghosh, Goutam; Gupta, Praveen Kumar; Kumar, Virendra; Paramasivam, Prabhu; Dhanasekaran, Seshathiri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-27)
      The selection of an adequate response reduction factor (R) in the seismic design of a reinforced concrete building is critical to the building’s seismic response. To construct a robust structure, the R factor should be chosen based on the building’s resilience performance. Since no background was provided for the selection of R factors, the study focuses on the right selection of R factors in relation ...
