INVESTIGATING FATIGUE LIFE IN BOLTED FLANGE CONNECTION IN WIND TURBINE TOWERS
(Mechanical Engineering, 2023 , Master Thesis)
A comprehensive assessment of fatigue was performed on an L-flanged bolted connection under four different wind speeds. The wind turbines were subjected to average wind speeds of 5, 10, 15, and 20 m/s. The primary objective ...
A HYBRID MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL ELASTOMER FOR SEMI-ACTIVE ISOLATION OF LONGITUDINAL AND TORSIONAL VIBRATIONS
(Mechanical Engineering, 2023 , Master Thesis)
Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are materials that exhibit a change in their mechanical properties, such as stiffness and damping, in response to an applied magnetic field. In general, MREs consist of an elastomeric ...
Investigation of the Suitability of the Vibration Acceptance Criteria for Process Pipework in Assessing the Vibration Levels of the Flow-Induced Fatigue Failure
(Mechanical Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Process pipework is essential to the oil and gas industries. Usually, pipework is designed to satisfy static requirements. Often, vibration problems in process pipework are treated on an Adhoc basis. Pipework vibration can ...
Development and characterization of nickel phosphorus based nanocomposite coatings for corrosion protection of steel
(Mechanical Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Corrosion is the major challenge faced by many industries like marine, automobile, oil and gas industry, etc. Nickel Phosphorus (Ni-P) based coatings are
extensively studied to mitigate corrosion due to their improved ...
A hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic energy harvesting at stabilization cycles excited confined water in pipeline
(Mechanical Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Research on green energy has been increasing tremendously in the past few years. Energy harvesting from an industrial pipeline conveying fluid using a hybrid harvester consisting of a piezoelectric beam and electromagnetic ...
Integrated supercritical co2 power cycle with concentrated solar power tower with 50mw power capacity
(Mechanical Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
As a part of the world's efforts to mitigate the impact of global warming via carbon neutrality plan by 2050, a novel supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power cycle is presented that is integrated with concentrated solar ...
Prediction of Optimal Hexagonal Interior Angle for Energy Absorption: Ann to Predict In-Between Experimental Data
(Mechanical Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
This thesis's proposed strategic procedure is to predict the interior angle of a
hexagonal passive energy absorber structure based on specific properties using an ANN
model, which has a great potential to be used as ...
