The paper aims to develop a harmonic identification scheme for a hydraulic shaking table's sinusoidal acceleration response. Nonlinearities are inherent in a hydraulic shaking table. Some of them are dead zone of servo ...

Forced convection fluid flow and heat transfer is investigated in a porous channel with expanding or contracting walls with which is filled Al2O3-Cu/water micropolar hybrid nanofluid in the presence of magnetic field. In ...

Recently, electrode-based Dielectrophoresis (eDEP) has been used for particle manipulation by means of triangular electrodes. In this theoretical and numerical study, a microchannel with quarter-of-ellipse electrodes is ...

This paper presents a model reference controller (MRC) of mode shift that intends to decrease the vehicle jerk and the clutch frictional loss for a dual-mode power-split hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). To design a model-based ...

In this study, a homotopy analysis method was used to obtain analytic solutions to predict dynamic pull-in instability of an electrostatically-actuated microbeam. The nonlinear describing equation of a microbeam affected ...

This work deals with asymptotic periodicity and compactness for a class of composite fractional relaxationequation. Some difficulties arises when the effect of different kinds of nonhomogeneous terms are taken intoconsideration. ...

The control of flexible cable-driven parallel robots usually requires not only the feedback from the joints, but the feedback from the end-effector pose or cable tension. This paper presents a new approach for reducing the ...

The use of artificial neural network in conjunction with artificial bee colony algorithm is proposed as a method for performance and emissions optimization of an SI engine. The case study here involves the oxygen enriched ...

In this paper, by combining the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and NSGA II algorithm, the forced convective heat transfer flow in a stack of horizontal parallel plates has been multi-objectively optimized. In the ...

Analytical relation for slow motion thin liquid films bounded by a fixed wall and free surface for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids are obtained in this work. Assuming long-wave approximation, the momentum and continuity ...

The performance of a HTPB/N2O hybrid motor was experimentally investigated. A hybrid motor was designed and manufactured in a laboratory with the purpose of studying the effects of various parameters on the motor's ...
