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 ...
Online condition monitoring and fault detection in induction motor bearings
(2018)
Induction motors (IMs) are commonly used in industry. Online IM health condition monitoring aims to recognize motor defect at its early stage to prevent motor performance degradation and reduce maintenance costs. The most ...
Experimental characterization of a hybrid photovoltaic-thermal system with regeneration
(2018)
Currently, enormous quantities of waste energy are continuously discharged into
the earth’s atmosphere from various sources. For example, in a photovoltaic panel, about
85% of the incident light is either dissipated as ...
An intelligent system for temperature monitoring and brake drum cooling
(2018)
Brakes convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy due to friction between fixed and moving brake parts. Frequent applications of the brakes will cause overheating in brake parts, which could generate ...
Performance and emissions of diesel engines fueled by expanded polystyrene-infused biodiesel with additives
(2018)
Environmental issues and conventional fossil resource depletion has directed the attention of researchers to seek clean or alternative fuels. Biodiesel was introduced as an answer to day-to-day increases in diesel consumption ...
Vibration suppression and energy harvesting with a variant nonlinear energy sink
(2018)
Vibration control is aimed to suppress or eliminate unwanted vibration to ensure proper
operation of machines. On the other hand, energy harvesting intends to scavenge energy from
ambient vibrations to power electronical ...
