Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMINLP Optimization of Mechanical StructuresS. Šilih, T. Žula, Z. Kravanja, S. KravanjaWe presented optimization of mechanical structures, performed by the Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) optimization approach. The MINLP is a combined continuous/discrete optimization technique, where a structural topology and standard/discrete sizes are optimized simultaneously with the continuous variables. Ddiscrete binary 0-1 variables were used to express the discrete decisions. For solution of this non-linear, continuous/discrete and non-convex MINLP class of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,129 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study on the Effect of Linear Friction of Long-Wave Propagation and Breaking with Sloping BottomAgustinus RibalIn this study, we investigate the breaking of long-waves propagating on shallow water with linear friction on the sloping bottom. A complete set of equations is presented and a numerical method is developed to simulate the wave propagation. The method uses an up-wind difference scheme for the nonlinear convective term and the central difference scheme for other derivative terms. Various … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solution For Frank-Kamenetskii And Activation Energy Parameters in Reactive-Diffusive Equation with Variable One-Exponential FactorO. K. Koriko, A. J. OmowayeIn this study, we considered a steady state, exothermic chemical reaction, taking the diffusion of the reactant into account and assuming an Arrhenius temperature dependence with variable pre-exponent factor. Numerical solution is constructed for the governing nonlinear boundary value problem using finite difference scheme .The effect of Frank-Kamenetskii, activation energy parameter and pre-exponent factor on the temperature were also examined, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombustion Analysis of a CI Engine Performance Using Waste Cooking Biodiesel Fuel with an Artificial Neural Network AidGholamhassan NAJAFI, Barat GHOBADIAN, Talal F. YUSAF, Hadi RAHIMIA comprehensive combustion analysis has been conducted to evaluate the performance of a commercial DI engine, water cooled two cylinders, in-line, naturally aspirated, RD270 Ruggerini diesel engine using waste vegetable cooking oil as an alternative fuel. In order to compare the brake power and the torques values of the engine, it has been tested under same operating conditions with diesel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 8,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solutions of the Multispecies Predator-Prey Model by Variational Iteration MethodKhaled BatihaThe main objective of the current work was to solve the multispecies predator-prey model. The techniques used here were called the variational iteration method (VIM) and the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The advantage of this work is twofold. Firstly, the VIM reduces the computational work. Secondly, in comparison with existing techniques, the VIM is an improvement with regard to its … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArtificial Intelligence Based Three-Phase Unified Power Quality ConditionerMoleykutty GeorgePower quality is an important measure of the performance of an electrical power system. This paper discusses the topology, control strategies using artificial intelligent based controllers and the performance of a unified power quality conditioner for power quality improvement. UPQC is an integration of shunt and series compensation to limit the harmonic contamination within 5 %, the limit imposed by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApproximate Analytical Solutions For Time-Dependent Emden-Fowler-Type Equations By Variational Iteration MethodKhaled BatihaThe main objective of the current study was to solve the time-dependent Emden-Fowler-type equation with singular behavior. The technique used here was called the variational iteration method (VIM). The advantage of this work is twofold. Firstly, the VIM reduces the computational work.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Switching Mechanism Detection to Reduce Complexity in Multiuser Detection for DS-CDMA SystemsRekha Agarwal, B. V.R. Reddy, K. K. AggarwalWe present a reduced complexity switching mechanism which uses either matched filter or Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC) detector based on channel characteristics. The main criterion of taking PIC detector is that it has less Bit Error Rate (BER) and less processing delay than other nonlinear multiuser detectors. This proposed detector reduces overall complexity while maintaining the same performance as PIC … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,642 accessesView PDFCite
