Many decisions in the preliminary design steps of an aircraft are very hard to take, due to a lot of unknown variables at this stage. These early decisions can be made more reliable by testing different configurations by ...

In certain types of biomimetic surgery systems, micro robots inspired by Paramecium are designed to swim in a capillary tube for gaining access to internal organs with minimal invasion. Gaining insights into the mechanics ...

In this paper, forced vibration analysis of a mass-spring system equipped with a nonlinear displacement-dependent (NDD) damper is elaborated. To this end, the nonlinear governing differential equation of the system is ...

High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is a lipid-protein complex which is responsible to transport cholesterol and triglyceride molecules due to the inability of these compounds to dissolve in aqueous environment such as bloodstream. ...

In this paper, a closed-loop optimal line-of-sight guidance law for first-order control systems is derived for stationary targets. The problem is solved for the one-dimensional case using normalized equations to obtain ...

In this paper, the generalized travelling solutions of the nonlinear fractional beam equation is investigated by means of homotopy perturbation method. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The ...

A new estimation study on the material features for the welding processes is reported. The method bases on the artificial neural network (ANN) for the estimation of material features after in the gas-metal arc welding ...

This study presents a numerical analysis of fluid- structure interaction whose structure is a flexible piezoelectric material. Piezoelectric materials are widely used in aeroelasticity and turbomachinery fields for ...

In this study, improvement of the polarizer plate bubble in the thin film transistor liquid crystal display process, especially where the polarizer plate is attached to the black matrix area at the end of the glass ...

This work presents energy harvesting from limit cycle oscillation of low aspect ratio rectangular cantilever wings in supersonic flow. The wing is modeled in according to classical plate theory with Von-Karman strain-displacement ...
