Characterization of anisotropic materials and particularly composite materials requires great number of experiments for a complete characterization and identification of all the directional constitutive properties. Lately due to the technological advancements in optical measurements and computational resources, new methods have been proposed based

An adaptive beam model of anisotropically actuated beam is formulated to determine the displacement and twist actuation capabilities of anisotropic piezoelectric actuators as related to the potential application for the helicopter blade control. The chosen beam has been modeled in ANSYS. Some existing results on piezoeletric actuators with differen

The buckling behaviour of homogeneous and composite plates with cutouts under axial compression is investigated numerically by using ANSYS software. The influence of material orientation and the length to width ratio on the buckling response of the plates is examined.

A procedure for modeling and stress analysis of a propeller blade using CATIA software have been detailed. The blade has been modeled with its twist angle and the results for different material have been presented graphically.

Volunteerism is a great virtue that is grounded in the teachings of both revealed and non-revealed religions and in all cultures. Since time immemorial, people have been spending time and money to help others without any expectation of compensation. All Prophets were volunteers and they emphatically stressed the need for volunteerism. Billions of h

Problem statement: Chronic disease-causing bacteria of medical importance have developed resistance to antibiotics, hence, necessitating distinct and constant need for safe and efficient therapeutic agents. Plants are considered potent candidate for this aim. A way out of reducing antibiotic resistance and adverse effects on host is the employment

We propose an unsupervised training method to guide the learning of Malay derivational morphology from a set of morphological segmentations produced by a na¨ıve morphological analyzer. Using a morphology-based language model, we first estimate the probability of a given segmentation. We train the model with EM to find the segmentation that maximi

In this work, nanosized hydroxyapatite (HA) powder was synthesized via mechanochemical method by a dry mixture of calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 and di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate (NH4)2HPO4 powders. The effect of mechanochemical process on powder properties was investigated. Three rotation speeds of 170 rpm, 270 rpm and 370 rpm were chose with 15 hours

Field-induced oxidation has become a promising process that is capable of directly producing high-resolution surface oxide patterns on variety materials. This report initiated the idea of the possibility of a controlled nanofabrication of SiO2 on silicon wafer by utilizing a frozen humid air film. A low temperature (-70oC) operation of an atomic fo
