In this literature, a combined method has been employed to simultaneously reducesmoke (Soot) and oxide of nitrogen (Nox) and maintain the performance parameters of dieselengine. This includes creating an air jet by designing ...

In this paper, the Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) is proposed to design acontroller for feed drive of Virtual Computer Numerical Control (VCNC) systems. The designedrobust QFT controller is also compared to two commonly ...

This work is an attempt towards employing ductile damage criterion and finite elementsimulations for prediction of fracture initiation and evolution in deep drawing of copper/stainlesssteel clad sheets. The material ...

A novel technique is investigated for PID controller adaptation in order to control thetemperature of a liquid-phase reactor tank by using a heat exchanger system. As for nonlinearity,time delay problems and model uncertainties ...

Diesel fuel has a limited resource and concerns over environmental pollution areleading to the use of ‘bio-origin fuels' as they are renewable and environmentally benign. Jatrophamethyl ester, an esterified biofuel, has ...

Double bridge girder overhead cranes are used for heavy duty applications in theindustry. In this paper a detailed parametric design optimization of the main girder of box type isperformed for a 150Ton capacity and 32m ...

The increase of cell temperature with increased irradiance is probably the mostsignificant disadvantage of using Photovoltaic modules equipped with booster reflectors. The aimof this study is to investigate the possibility ...

In this paper, based on the slab method of analysis, a novel and general approach isdeveloped for studying the radial forging process with curved profile dies. The presented approachis not only more general with respect ...

In this paper, a connecting rod was modeled and analyzed by finite element method. Byusing genetic algorithm (GA) and modified cuckoo optimization algorithm (MCOA), the materialproperties and some geometrical specifications ...

Based on the notion of micro-structure in linear elasticity presented by Mindlin, a newextended continuum mechanics (ECM) formulation is derived which can be utilized to model thematerial behavior at atomic scale. An attempt ...

The objective of this experimental work was to assess the drop impact damage onWoven Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer composite laminate through online method and offlinemethod. Online monitoring of drop impact damage was ...
