Simultaneous vibration suppression and energy harvesting with a non-traditional vibration absorber
(2017)
The dynamic vibration absorber, or tuned mass damper, has been one of the most commonly used passive vibration control devices over the past hundred years. With an optimally designed vibration absorber, significant vibration ...
Health condition monitoring of civil structures using time varying autoregressive models
(2017)
In recent years, there have been an increasing interest in long-term monitoring of civil structures, as the research community has been alarmed by some tragic events and collapses of bridges and buildings that pointed out ...
Year-round biodiesel use strategy in diesel engines in Canadian adverse cold weather conditions
(2017)
The effects of climate change that have been seen at an unprecedented scale over last decade or so, have sparked intensive efforts toward the identification and development of clean, environmentally compatible, and renewable ...
Cold flow improvement of biodiesel and investigation of the effect of biodiesel emulsification on diesel engine performance and emissions
(2017)
Increasing concerns over environmental issues and conventional resource depletion have heightened our motivation to use clean and alternative fuels. Biodiesel is simply derived from biomass proposed as an alternative fuel ...
Effects of various additives on regulated emissions of modern diesel engines
(2017)
Increasingly strict emissions regulations along with man-made global warming has peaked interest in clean burning diesel engines. Renewable biofuels such as biodiesel are being investigated to reduce carbon monoxide (CO), ...
Numerical analysis of discontinuous structures: static and dynamic
(2018)
Discontinuous beam structures can be found in various applications such as adhesive bonded joints and piezoelectric energy harvesters. In adhesive bonded joint design, the single lap joint is commonly used and is constructed ...
NOx reduction of biodiesel operated diesel engine using different techniques: (EGR, steam injection and emulsification)
(2018)
The increase in world population has led to the growth in energy demand. The primary sources of this energy come from the combustion of conventional fuels, which are contributing to polluting the environment. Biodiesel ...
New demodulation techniques for gearbox bearing fault detection
(2018)
Nowadays, modern rotating machinery industries such as automotive, aerospace, turbo
machinery, chemical plants, and power generation stations are rapidly increasing in complexity
and in their everyday operations, which ...
Effect of glycerine and water emulsion of diesel-biodiesel blends on engine performance and emissions with EGR
(2018)
The globally rising temperatures and its impact on our ecosystem and earth’s natural processes have raised an environmental concern worldwide. The pollution caused due to the burning of fossil fuels has resulted in climate ...
Modal identification of time-varying structures using the blind source separation techniques
(2016)
In last few decades, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has been an indispensable subject
in the field of vibration engineering. With the aid of modern sensing technology, SHM has
garnered significant attention towards ...
