The unit-cell composition of three-dimensional finite element models for 3-0 and 3-1 type polymer (PVDF) - ceramic (BaTiO3) and ceramic (PZT-7A) - ceramic (BaTiO3) structures are compared to determine the effects of fiber ...

A two-dimensional analytical heat conduction model of an annular composite fin has been carried out. The composite fins composed of a porous polyethylene core, a square aluminum insert, and metallic zinc coating layers, ...

Desiccant coated heat exchanger (DCHE) is developed from the combination of desiccant absorbents and the conventional fin-tube heat exchanger. The performance of the DCHE is mainly due to the adsorption properties of the ...

Thin flexible parts are widely used in the aerospace industry and require a more precise surface finish. The main problem in achieving high-quality product is the vibration induced during machining of thin-walled parts. ...

This paper presents the design of an electronic stability control (ESC) system based on trailer differential braking for increasing safety and improving handling performance of car-trailer combinations. Numerical simulations ...

The increasing use of robots operating close to people has made human-robot collisions more likely. In this paper, strategies intended to reduce the impact force to a safe level, without sacrificing the robot’s performance, ...

This paper presents an online tuning rule-based adaptive control algorithm to control DC motor speed. For this, a method of recursive least squares with forgetting was proposed to approximate the relation between single ...

Modeling of hypervelocity impact (HVI) on materials and structures is often associated with high computational expenses, especially when inhomogeneous materials are involved. To reduce computational cost, complex materials ...

Strain has been used extensively in enhancing the electron mobility for high speed and low power transistors. As stretching the silicon atoms away beyond their normal atomic space has a significant influence on the carrier ...

Several properties make titanium and its alloy the primary candidate to attain weight and functional advantages because of its promising properties such as high strength to weight ratio, high corrosion resistivity, and ...
