Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNumerical Investigation on Turbulent Forced Convection in Heating Channel Inserted with Discrete V-Shaped BafflesAmnart Boonloi, Withada JedsadaratanachaiThe numerical examinations on flow visualization, heat transfer characteristic and performance improvement in a square duct inserted with discrete V-shaped baffles (DVB) are reported. The DVB is designed to reduce the pressure loss when compared with the V-shaped baffle. The influences of the flow blockage ratios (b/H, BR = 0.05-0.20), V-tip directions (V-Downstream and V-Upstream) are investigated for Reynolds number, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2016 · 7,116 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign and Development of Broadband Inverted E-shaped Patch Microstrip Array Antenna For 3G Wireless NetworkNorbahiah Misran, Mohammad Tariqul Islam, Ng Kok JiunnMicrostrip patch antenna has been received tremendous attention since the last two decades and now it becomes a major component in the development of Smart Antenna System for Third-Generation Wireless Network proposed by the ITU-R under the banner of IMT-2000. Smart antenna consists of an array of antennas associated with it a base-band hardware and control unit (inclusive of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDegradation of Power Generation Performance due to Effects of Various Ice Shapes and Accretions on Wind Turbine BladesAditya Bagade, Changki Mo, Abdelhamid MazherIn today’s world, green energy has become a key initiative as an alternative energy resource. Wind turbines are widely used to harvest wind energy in seasonal and cold environments. Although efficient, cold weather conditions negatively affects wind turbine operations due to ice formation. Damage from icing is seen on blade-tips when super-cooled water droplets that form in colder environments rapidly … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 11 Sep 2015 · 7,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWideband E-Shaped Microstrip Antenna for Wireless Sensor NetworksG. Elangovan, J. Rajapaul PerinbamProblem statement: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is currently receiving significant attention due to their unlimited potential. It is still very early in the lifetime of such systems and many research challenges exist, out of which one of the challenges is sensor processing and fusion under limited capacities, the most important component in sensor is its TX/RX antenna. Approach: For high-speed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Nov 2011 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInheritance of Leaf Characters in Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.)Alfredo Morales, Dania RodríguezThis study aimed to establish foundational knowledge regarding the inheritance patterns of two foliar traits (leaf morphology and midrib pigmentation) in Ipomoea batatas. To overcome the challenges associated with discretely classifying color and shape frequencies, five morphometric descriptors were employed. Two of these parameters addressed leaf shape (Circularity and Aspect Ratio), while three characterized the color of the central vein … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 3 Jul 2026 · 1,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywords2D Kinematic Quantification of Soil Particles around Growing Plant Root based on Optical MechanicsWenbin Wu, Jian ZhaoThe quantitative kinematic description of the surrounding soil particles during root growth is a technical challenge and biologically important. In this study, a two-dimensional camera-based imaging system was used to observe micro scale interactions between plant roots and soil particles. Maize root tip was imaged during ingress into the soils. This produced a series of two-dimensional images that represent temporal … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2020 · 6,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAdvanced 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
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiomechanically Inspired Machines, Driven by Muscle Like Acting NiTi AlloysAntonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe Shape of the Memory Alloy (SMA) is a very promising class of metallic materials with interesting non-linear properties such as Pseudo-Elasticity (PE), memory (MEM) and damping capacity due to high mechanical hysteresis and internal friction. Research shows a bioinventory approach to Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) design, a class of intelligent materials capable of reacting to a pulse (thermal for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 23 May 2018 · 8,279 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimal Meshing of Structured Boundary Domains in Numerical AnalysesArnulf Kost, Kokou Tcharie, Ayité Senah Akoda Ajavon et al.The analysis of a practical problem using numerical methods such as Finite Element Method (FEM) or Boundary Element Method (BEM) involves the subdivision of the space occupied by a physical system (named domain) or its boundary into sub-domains or sub-boundaries called elements. This task, known as mesh generation or domain-discretization, is no more trivial if domains of real or industrial … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 23 Oct 2017 · 7,849 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPreliminary Experimental and Finite-Element Numerical Assessment of the Structural Performance of SMA-Reinforced GFRP SystemsFilipe Amarante dos Santos, Chiara BedonIn this study, the feasibility and potentiality of a novel design concept is explored by means of small scale experimental tests and Finite-Element numerical simulation. Taking advantage of the intrinsic potentiality of Shape-Memory Alloys wires able to work as adaptive actuators when subjected to joule heating, a 'smart-GFRP' concept consisting in Glass-Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer (GFRP) structural members with a SMA reinforcement is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 8,289 accessesView PDFCite
