One of the most important issues in all stages of mining study is capital cost estimation. Determination of capital expenditure is a challenging issue for mine designers. In recent decade, quite a few number of studies ...

Present study focuses on the micro-structural and mechanical behavior effect of friction time for similar (AISI 316-AISI 316 and AISI 304-AISI 304) and dissimilar (AISI 304-AISI 316) joint during continuous drive friction ...

Shoulder geometry of tool plays an important role in friction-stir welding because it controls thermal interactions and heat generation. This work is proposed and developed a coupled rigid-viscoplastic numerical modeling ...

This paper proposes a novel axial flux switching permanent magnet generator for small wind turbine applications. Surface mounted axial flux switching permanent magnet (SMAFSPM) machine is a new type of these machines that ...

Nowadays, one of the major goals of the distribution environment is to reduce lead times and inventories. Cross-docking is a logistics technique which removes the storage and picking up the functions of a warehouse. The ...

This paper describes a new design for direct sliding mode method with a high switching frequency using the PD-PI type sliding surface applied to a negative output Luo converter worked in continuous current mode for ...

Many control schemes have been proposed for induction motor and permanent magnet synchronous motor control, which are almost highly complex and non-linear. Also, a simple and efficient method for unified control of the ...

Oil spills from tanker or oil well have detrimental effects on environment and economy. One of the most economical and efficient methods for oil spill clean-up is mechanical extraction by sorbents which are not only the ...

The most important causes of bridge failure are local scour. In this study, laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effectiveness of slot as a protection device in reduction of depth of scour at cylindrical ...

In this paper, an almost new control approach called terminal synergetic control which works based on user defined manifold is applied to a nonlinear helicopter model. Stability analysis is convestigated using Lyapunov ...

Masonry infill has been widely used as building material due to its cost effectiveness and availability.  The failure of these masonry infill walls during the past earthquakes have underscored the importance of ensuring ...

In the present study, textural and structural characterizations of chitosan bead for immobilization of alpha amylase were studied in detail by N2 adsorption–desorption, Microspore Analysis (MP), Barrett–Joyner–Halenda ...

Solubility prediction of high molecular weight molecules in high-pressure solvents is an interesting field of research. Sometimes the solubility data are not available for several components due to lacking of valid equipments. ...

In this study, nanoporous hydroxyapatite was synthesized and functionalized via tetraethylenepentamine in order to obtain a novel adsorbent for efficient removal of Acid Blue 25 dye from aqueous solution. Functionalized ...
