A current study and discussion in detail about many solar energy collectors of various types, components, classifications and configurations, through the analysis of their performance, is our aim through this review paper. ...

In this study, four optimization algorithms are applied to identify the damage in a multi-DOF dynamical system composed of masses, springs, and dampers. The damage is introduced artificially by choosing a lower value for ...

In this paper, a transient thermal stress investigation on a simply supported thin elliptical plate during sectional heating with time-dependent temperature supply is considered. The solution of heat conduction equation ...

This paper presents Best Theory Diagrams (BTDs) constructed from various non-polynomial theories for the static analysis of thick and thin symmetric and asymmetric cross-ply laminated plates. The BTD is a curve that provides ...

In the present study, the effect of temperature-dependent heat sources on the fully developed free convection flow of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid between two parallel porous vertical plates in the presence ...

This study presents a computational investigation on heat and flow behaviors between non parallel plates with the influence of a transverse magnetic field when the medium is filled with solid nanoparticles. The nonlinear ...

Cold drawing process is one of the most used metals forming processes in industries for forming seamless tubes. This process of plastic deformation of metals occurs below the recrystallization temperature and is generally ...
