Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Orthodontic Movement by Bracketless Orthodontic Treatment on Stress Distribution: 3D Finite Element AnalysisGuaracy Lyra da Fonseca Junior, Ney Tavares Lima Neto, Evelyne Pedroza de Andrade et al.The Bracketless Orthodontic Treatment (BOT) is an alternative technique with the concept of installing an orthodontic appliance composed only of wires and composite resin with the aid of 3D technology. However, the biomechanical behavior of this therapeutic modality has yet to be elucidated in the scientific literature. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution in … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 4 Jul 2021 · 11,613 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Enhancement Strategy of Ultra-Thin CIGS Solar CellsSoumaïla Ouédraogo, Boureima Traoré, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré et al.In this article, numerical modeling and simulation using SCAPS-1D software has been used to explore the performance of CIGS-based solar cells when some parameters are modified. Starting from a baseline model that rigorously reproduces the experimental results, the absorber properties such as defect density, band-gap and acceptor concentration have been investigated and the optimal values to obtain high-efficiency CIGS-base solar … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 24 Dec 2020 · 6,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Manufacturing for Novel Materials in Industrial Design ApplicationsFrancesco Tamburrino, Antonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe research presented starts with a focus on Smart Materials, or rather materials with properties that react to external stimuli (temperature, electric or magnetic field, pH or mechanical stress, for example) related to the environmental changes, modifying one or some of their own properties (mechanical, electrical, appearance, etc.). Afterward, one category of Smart Materials, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), has been … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 May 2018 · 8,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Objective Optimization of FRP Jackets for Improving the Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete FramesCorrado Chisari, Chiara BedonIn this study, a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization procedure is proposed for the seismic retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete (RC) building frames via Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) jackets. The optimization problem is solved via numerically efficient but accurate Finite-Element (FE) models able to take into account the strengthening and ductility increase contribution for a given FRP jacketing configuration. Based on a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 8,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Heat-Treated Steel and Related ApplicationsShu-Ping Chang, Ming-Chen Chen, Jyh-Dong LinNumerous studies conducted after the 921 earthquake in Taiwan in 1999 have reported that because heat-treated steel features relatively unstable mechanics properties, using such steel in welding, bar splicing, or as thread-cutting components in structures may result in lack of resistance to seismic activity. However, nondestructive testing methods that can be used to identify the type of steel delivered to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2015 · 7,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross-Section Optimization of Sandwich-Type Cylindrical Wind Turbine TowersStylianos M. Vernardos, Charis J. GantesAs wind energy is aggressively expanding within the alternative sources' part of modern world's energy pie, the need of addressing various obstacles that limit further wind utilization becomes all the more urgent. From a structural engineering point of view, surmounting the tower-base diameter limitation, dictated by the current transportation capabilities, is one of the industry's primary issues. The concept presented … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,993 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Timescale Microscopic Theory for Radiation Degradation of Electronic and Optoelectronic DevicesDanhong Huang, Fei Gao, D.A. Cardimona et al.A multi-timescale hybrid model is proposed to study microscopically the degraded performance of electronic devices, covering three individual stages of radiation effects studies, including ultra-fast displacement cascade, intermediate defect stabilization and cluster formation, as well as slow defect reaction and migration. Realistic interatomic potentials are employed in molecular-dynamics calculations for the first two stages up to 100 ns as well … …Space Science International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2015 · 10,235 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Objective Evolutionary Optimization of Sandwich Structures: An Evaluation by Elitist Non-dominated Sorting Evolution StrategyIlyani Akmar, A.B, O. Kramer, T. RabczukIn this study, an application of evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms on the optimization of sandwich structures is presented. The solution strategy is known as Elitist Non-Dominated Sorting Evolution Strategy (ENSES) wherein Evolution Strategies (ES) as Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) in the elitist Non-dominated Sorting Genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) procedure. Evolutionary algorithm seems a compatible approach to resolve multi-objective optimization problems because it … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 7,323 accessesView PDFCite
