To maintain the structural integrity of the engineering components, having an exact knowledge of residual stresses is important. Among all mechanical strain relief techniques to measure residual stresses, slitting is one ...

Direct displacement based design (DDBD) is a conceptual framework that directly design a structure to achieve an expected performance level under specified seismic intensity. In this study, two important issues relevant ...

Polymer-based nanocomposites due to their advantages such as corrosion resistance,adequate mechanical properties and low cost are widely used in modern technologies. The increasing application of these nanocomposites, and ...

Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) are often used in machines with high rotational speed to reduce non-periodic behavior by creating external damping. There are some structural parameters which are of great importance in designing ...

The Coulomb force applied by an electric field on any charge present in a dielectric liquid may cause fluid motion. At high applied electric fields in an insulating liquid, electric charge carriers are created at metallic/liquid ...

This paper presents the analysin ,design and implementation of a high voltage ratio topology of DC-DC converter. The DC-DC converter has high voltage ratio with reduced input current, output voltage and output current ...

This study presents a designing process for refurbishing of a 32 MW rotor-generator damaged coupling. The reason of rotor damage was being hit by the quivers of an explosion. The original coupling was union with the rotor ...

The mechanical alloying process was used to synthesize the Ni50Al50−xMox nanocrystalline intermetallic compound using pure Ni and Al elemental powder. This process was carried out in the presence of various Mo contents as ...

Numerous problems in engineering and science can be converted into optimization problems. Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a newly developed stochastic optimization algorithm and has been widely used in many areas. ...

Loading and hauling machineries are highly capital intensive equipment to procure, operate and maintain in surface mining operation. It must be borne in mind that with this huge and capital-intensive equipment, every second ...

Select an appropriate project is a main key for contractors to increase their profits. In practice, in this area the uncertainty and imprecise of the involved parameters is so high. Therefore, considering fuzzy sets theory ...
