A Review on Fatigue Life Prediction Methods for Metals
( Hindawi Limited , 2016 , Article Review)Metallic materials are extensively used in engineering structures and fatigue failure is one of the most common failure modes of metal structures. Fatigue phenomena occur when a material is subjected to fluctuating stresses ... -
A Robust Channel Estimation Scheme for 5G Massive MIMO Systems
( Hindawi Limited , 2019 , Article)Channel state information (CSI) feedback in massive MIMO systems is too large due to large pilot overhead. It is due to the large channel matrix dimension which depends on the number of base station (BS) antennas and ... -
Bubaline Cholecyst Derived Extracellular Matrix for Reconstruction of Full Thickness Skin Wounds in Rats
( Hindawi Limited , 2016 , Article)An acellular cholecyst derived extracellular matrix (b-CEM) of bubaline origin was prepared using anionic biological detergent. Healing potential of b-CEM was compared with commercially available collagen sheet (b-CS) and ... -
Collaborative Wireless Power Transfer in Wireless Rechargeable Sensor Networks
( Hindawi Limited , 2020 , Article)Wireless power transfer techniques to transfer energy have been widely adopted by wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs). These techniques are aimed at increasing network lifetime by transferring power to end devices. ... -
Dynamic Response of a Rotating Assembly under the Coupled Effects of Misalignment and Imbalance
( Hindawi Limited , 2020 , Article)In rotating machinery, the second most common fault after imbalance is misalignment. Misalignment can have a severe impact on equipment and may reduce the machine's lifetime considerably. In this paper, the simultaneous ... -
Finite Element Analysis of the Mechanism of Traumatic Aortic Rupture (TAR)
( Hindawi Limited , 2020 , Article)As many as 80% of patients with TAR die on the spot while out of those reaching a hospital, 30% would die within 24 hours. Thus, it is essential to better understand and prevent this injury. The exact mechanics of TAR are ... -
Heuristic and Exact Algorithms for the Two-Machine Just in Time Job Shop Scheduling Problem
( Hindawi Limited , 2016 , Article)The problem addressed in this paper is the two-machine job shop scheduling problem when the objective is to minimize the total earliness and tardiness from a common due date (CDD) for a set of jobs when their weights equal ... -
