DEVELOPMENT OF SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY (SMA) BASED ARTIFICIAL MUSCLE FOR APPLICATION IN SOFT GRIPPER
(
Taylor's University
, 2023 , Article)
Soft robotics is a branch of robotics that utilize soft materials instead of the common rigid links. Shape memory alloy (SMA) wire has the advantage of being compact and lightweight, as they only require simple control ...
Energy harvesting from railway slab-tracks with continuous slabs
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2023 , Article)
This paper contributes to the literature and development of knowledge in the topic of energy harvesting by presenting the modelling and calculations of energy from vibration of railway tracks due to moving trains on ...
Using probabilistic neural networks for modeling metal fatigue and random vibration in process pipework
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2022 , Article)
Many experiments are usually needed to quantify probabilistic fatigue behavior in metals. Previous attempts used separate artificial neural network (ANN) to calculate different probabilistic ranges which can be computationally ...
Numerical evaluation of the thermal performance of a near-surface earth-to-air heat exchanger with short-grass ground cover: A parametric study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
High energy consumption and increasing energy cost have encouraged investment in energy efficiency. In hot areas, like the Middle East, the share of space cooling accounts for most of the total energy use in buildings. ...
In-plane stress analysis of multiple parallel cracks in an orthotropic FGM medium under time-harmonic loading
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This study aimed to investigate the fracture behavior of a cracked orthotropic FGM medium when exposed to an in-plane harmonic load. The mechanical feature of the medium exponentially varied along the y-axis. Using the ...
Analysis of novel regenerative thermo-mechanical refrigeration system integrated with isobaric engine
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
, 2021 , Article)
Refrigerants of the conventional cooling systems contribute to global warming and ozone depletion significantly, therefore it is necessary to develop new cooling systems that use renewable energy resources and waste heat ...
Monolithic Carbon Nanotube Film Thermoelectric Generator
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2024 , Article)
The design and development of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) with minimal internal resistance is crucial for achieving high output power in self-powered wearable technologies. This work presents a novel flexible TEG ...
Replacement policies for a parallel system with shortage and excess costs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
It has been assumed in most maintenance models that (i) the number of units for a parallel system can be predefined precisely, (ii) maintenance cost after failure should be avoided, and (iii) age replacement can always be ...
Supply chain risk and resilience in startups, SMEs, and large enterprises: a systematic review and directions for research
(
Emerald Publishing
, 2023 , Article)
Purpose: This systematic literature review analyzes the academic literature to understand SC risk and resilience across different organizational sizes and industries. The academic literature has well discussed the causes ...
An improved generic Johnson-Cook model for the flow prediction of different categories of alloys at elevated temperatures and dynamic loading conditions
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This paper presents a generic model for material flow prediction based on the well-known Johnson-Cook model.
The model is developed to precisely predict the flow behavior of various categories of alloys. The coupled ...
