Planetary gear trains (PGTs) with one or more degrees of freedom (DOFs) have numerous uses in PGT-based mechanisms. The majority of the currently available synthesis methods have focused on 1-DOF PGTs, with only a few ...

With recent advances in semiconductor technology, conventional cooling methods and standard coolants are no longer adequate to manage electronic chips' enormous heat generation. Therefore, innovative cooling solutions are ...

Electrothermal pumping is a recently trending method to force highly conductive fluids in a wide range of microfluidics applications with biological processes. Although most polymer fluids (biological and synthetic) are ...

In order to improve the design of the actuators of a Dragon Fly prototype, we study the loads applied to the actuators in operation. Both external and inertial forces are taken into account, as well as internal loads, for ...

This paper explores the incorporation of aramid fibers, recognized for their high mechanical flexibility and low thermal conductivity (TC), to serve as reinforcing agents within the highly porous aerogel matrix in order ...

This study introduces a two-dimensional thermoelastic model for a homogeneous isotropic half-space with double porosity underlying an inviscid liquid half-space featuring temperature variations. The model incorporates the ...

Nanofluid is an innovative technology that is essential in biomedical applications. A nanofluid study of human blood flow mathematically is more favorable since it provides a hypothesis for complex systems faster and is ...

Manual wheelchair users rely on their upper limbs for independence and daily activities. The high incidence of upper limb injuries can be attributed to the significant muscular demands imposed by propulsion as a repetitive ...

Multidirectional torsional hysteretic damper is a new type of damper that can be used to isolate and dissipate seismic effects on a structure. It can be designed to have a controllable post-elastic stiffness and exhibit ...

We define a new class of linear canonical wavelet transform (LCWT) and study its properties like inner product relation, reconstruction formula and also characterize its range. We obtain Donoho-Stark's uncertainty principle ...

The solar vortex engine (SVE) aims to replace the tall and expensive chimney structure in solar updraft power plants by a shorter less expensive structure named the vortex generator. In this study, the entire SVE system ...

The paper analyzes the influence of cutouts on the buckling of shallow shells with double curvature. Based on the Timoshenko-Reissner hypothesis, a mathematical model is presented that considers transverse shifts, material ...

In the present work, a displacement-based high-order shear deformation theory is introduced for the static response of functionally graded plates. The present theory is variationally consistent and strongly similar to the ...

Today, the use of electricity sources is increasing as cities are growing. With the increasing use of mineral oils for transformers cooling in the distribution network, due to the problems encountered using these oils, an ...

An exact solution is proposed for describing the steady-state and unsteady gradient Poiseuille shear flow of a viscous incompressible fluid in a horizontal infinite layer. This exact solution is described by a polynomial ...
