Feasibility Study and Design of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Farm in United Arab Emirates
(2000)
Wind energy is a clean and renewable energy that can meet the increasing global demands of energy. In the current paper, a feasibility study and design of floating offshore wind energy turbine in United Arab Emirates (UAE) ...
Empirical Modeling of Nanoindentation of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube Turfs using Intelligent Systems
(Taylor and Francis Online, 2012)
Establishing analytical models at the nanoscale to interpret the mechanical and structural properties of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) is complicated due to the nonuniformity in quality of as-grown samples ...
Crystal growth of PMN-PT for energy harvesting applications
(IEEE, 2017-05-15)
The harvesting of mechanical energy has been investigated extensively over the last decade. This type of harvesting is widely utilized in the applications of vibration-based energy harvester. Energy harvesting using ...
SCARA robot control using neural networks
(IEEE, 2012-09-20)
A SCARA industrial robot model is identified based on a 4-axis structure using Lagrangian mechanics, also the dynamic model for the electromechanical actuator and motion transmission systems is identified. A conventional ...
Experimental Evaluation Of Adaptive Fuzzy-pid Control For Piezoelectric Motor Drive System
(InderScience, 2013)
The application of intelligent systems along with conventional control theories has been widely presented in the recent literature to understand and compensate for the non-linearity exhibited by complex systems. An adaptive ...
Nonlinear-electrostatic analysis of micro-actuated beams based on couple stress and surface elasticity theories
(Pergamon, 2014-07)
In this paper, a size-dependent electrostatic model for cantilever micro-actuated beams is investigated
considering the microstructure and surface energy effects. The modified couple stress theory is used to
capture the ...
Pull-in instability of multi-phase nanocrystalline silicon beams under distributed electrostatic force
(Pergamon, 2015-05)
The effects of the material structure on the pull-in instability of nano-actuated beams
made of nanocrystalline silicon (Nc–Si) and subjected to a distributed electrostatic force
are investigated. Nc–Si is represented ...
A first-order shear deformation finite element model for elastostatic analysis of laminated composite plates and the equivalent functionally graded plates
(Elsevier, 2011-03)
In the present paper, the first-order shear deformation plate (FSDT) model is exploited
to investigate the mechanical behavior of laminated composite and functional graded plates. Three
approaches are developed to transform ...
Finite Element Analysis of the Deformation of Functionally Graded Plates under Thermomechanical Loads
(Hindawi, 2013)
The first-order shear deformation plate model, accounting for the exact neutral plane position, is exploited to investigate the uncoupled thermomechanical behavior of functionally graded (FG) plates. Functionally graded ...
Effects of surface integrity on the mechanics of ultra-thin films
(Pergamon, 2018-04)
A detailed formulation for the effects of the surface integrity, i.e. surface topography, surface metallurgy, and surface mechanical properties, on the mechanics of ultra-thin films is proposed in the framework of linear ...
