Abstract. Inconel 718 is used for high-temperature applications in aerospace, nuclear, and automotive industries due to its resistance, at high temperatures, to corrosion, fatigue, creep, oxidation, and deformation. Unfortunately, these same qualities also impair its machinability and researchers have investigated on ways to machine it economically

This study aims to give some thoughts and initial understanding of passive wake vortex alleviation by introducing add-ons devices onto the aircraft, which are delta wing (DW) and reverse delta wing (RDW). However, as a preliminary investigation, the study has treated these devices separately from the aircraft in order to clearly visualize the wake

In this work, the first IIUM circular planform unmanned Aerial vehicle (IIUM-CPUAV) model, also know as geobat flying saucer was successfully designed, built and tested by the team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIUM. The designing process started with gathering historical data and performing the conceptual design calculations. The

World is currently focusing on alternate material sources that are environment friendly and biodegradable in nature. Due to the increasing environmental concerns, bio-composite made from natural fibers and polymeric resin, is one of the recent developments in the industry and constitute the present scope of experimental work. This work presents on

The particle swarm-based micro air launch vehicle trajectory optimization method is carried out by formulating a parameter optimization problem, which is solved using a particle swarm optimization procedure. The optimization problem is formulated using a single objective function having the explicit objective to maximize the payload mass. Constrain

System development generally starts with Requirements Engineering (RE) process. Based on requirements, system analysts produce the requirements documents and analyze them in order to produce design documents. These artefacts will be inputs to the later stages in the system development. It is argued that during the transition between these stages, c

In siyasah shar‘iyyah perspective, the rulers have to administer shari‘ah principles to get beneficence (salah) and to prevent from any form of harm or corruption (fasad). Thus, any muamalah activities are allowed providing that no substantive shari‘ah principles are violated, including any activities in Islamic banking. Islamic banking produ

Advancement in telecommunication combined with improved information technology infrastructures has opened up new dimensions in e-health environment. Such technologies make readily available to access, store, manipulate and replicate medical information and images. These technologies help reduced the time and effort in diagnoses and treatment at low

Counterfeiting and piracy are among substantial oldest problems associated with intellectual properties. With the advent of interconnected networks nowadays, the problems are expanding in scope and magnitude as well as increasing economic and social impact. The negative impacts of this development on associated industries and their employees have r

Counterfeiting and piracy of intellectual properties are often pointed to as an indispensable problems across the globe, though more intense in some region than others. Currently over millions of digital audio files like digital songs are copied illegally during file-sharing over the networks, costing loss of revenue to the music and broadcasting i
