The efficiency and output power of gas turbine power plants are heavily affected by ambient air temperature. To compensate this defect, some cooling technologies and technics are applied. In this paper, the effect of ...

The present investigation proposes a hybrid technique: Taguchi method, response surface methodology (RSM) and genetic algorithm (GA), to analyze, model and predict vibration and surface roughness in traverse cut cylindrical ...

This paper presents design modification to the existing standard wheelchair by incorporating an improved propulsion system and also braking and tilting systems that allow its full control with only one hand. The proposed ...

This paper deals with the behavior of anti-plane shear crack in a piezoelectric layer bounded between two orthotropic half-planes within the framework of linear electroelasticity. The crack surfaces are assumed to be ...

This study investigates the effect of lid motion on the optimal characteristics a thin rectangular fin attached on the hot wall of a square lid-driven cavity with active vertical walls. The optimal fin position is studied ...

Modified couple stress theory is applied to study of temperature effects on free vibration of Timoshenko functionally graded microbeams. Due to the interatomic and microstructural reactions of the structures in micro scale, ...
