The harmony search algorithm is applied to optimum designs of a functionally graded (FG)-carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-reinforced pipes conveying fluid subjected to moving load. The structure is modelled by Reddy cylindrica...
This paper presents an analysis of the potential for engine speed reduction in hydraulic equipment, taking into account not only the minimum engine speed required to meet the current flow demand, but also the minimum ...
The article presents an explicitly straightforward formulation of the stationary and dynamic behaviour of a pressure relief valve (PRV). This includes an analytical solution for the static p-Q-characteristic, the step...
In this article, thermo vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) nanobeams subjected to linear and uniform temperature distribution is studied. The structure is modelled by new efficient shear beam theory consid...
In this paper, the influence of various boundary conditions on the frequency response of three layered plates is analysed using higher order theory of shear deformation. The facesheets are laminated orthotropic compos...
The project focuses on the dynamic analysis of concrete beams reinforced with silica-nanoparticles under blast loading. The structure is located at two boundary conditions. The effective composite properties are obtai...
This paper presents a semi-empirical lumped parameter model developed for analysing the dynamic stability and performance limitations of a pressure compensated vane pump for an automotive application with low-cost com...
The authors investigate a disturbance-compensating and energy-saving control method for air turbine spindles equipped with a rotation control system designed for use in ultra-precision milling.The controllability and ...
In this paper,the nonlinear conjugate map based on the conjugate Rackwitz-Fiessler and Hasofer-Lind(CHL-RF)method is used to evaluate the reliability using first order reliability method of the embedded nanocomposite ...
In this work,dynamic buckling of a rested lamina nanocomposite plate is considered.The plates are armed with single walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs)to obtain their effective characteristic;Mori-Tanaka model is applied....
