Guided wave ultrasound (GWU) systems have been widely used for monitoring structures such as rails, pipelines, and plates. In railway tracks, the monitoring process involves the complicated propagation of waves over several hundred meters. The propag...
This research compares the performance of space-time surrogate models (STSMs) and network surrogate models (NSMs). Specifically, when the system response varies over time (or pseudo-time), the surrogates must predict the system response. A surrogate...

This work describes a post-processing scheme for multiphase flow systems to characterize primary atomization. The scheme relies on the 2D fast Fourier transform (FFT) to separate the inherently multi-scale features present in the flow results. Emphas...
Recent studies have shown the benefits of utilizing ceramic particles as reinforcement in metal alloys; nevertheless, certain drawbacks, including loss of ductility, embrittlement, and decreases in toughness, have been noted. For the objective of obt...
Soft robotics is an emerging field that leverages the compliant nature of materials to control shape and behaviour. However, designing soft robots presents a challenge, as they do not have discrete points of articulation and instead articulate throug...
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) were developed to overcome the limitations associated with the acquisition of large training data sets that are commonly encountered when using purely data-driven machine learning methods. This paper proposes...

We propose a new optimal iterative scheme without memory free from derivatives for solving non-linear equations. There are many iterative schemes existing in the literature which either diverge or fail to work when
This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of a hierarchical design framework in developing environment-specific behaviour for fluid-actuated soft robots. Our proposed framework employs multi-step optimisation and reduced-order modelling to reduce the...
Corrugated paperboard is a sandwich structure composed of wavy paper (fluting) bonded between two flat paper sheets (liners). The analysis of an entire package using three-dimensional numerical finite element models is computationally expensive due t...
In this paper, a new one-parameter class of fixed point iterative method is proposed to approximate the fixed points of contractive type mappings. The presence of an arbitrary parameter in the proposed family increases its interval of convergence. Fu...
Diagnosis of faults in a rotor system operating in a fluid is a complex task in the field of rotating machinery. In an ideal scenario, a forced shutdown due to rotor-stator contact failure would necessitate the replacement of the rotor or stator. How...
Metallurgical processes are characterized by a complex interplay of heat and mass transfer, momentum transfer, and reaction kinetics, and these interactions play a crucial role in reactor performance. Integrating chemistry and transport results in st...
The study numerically investigated the noise dissipation, cavitation, output power, and energy produced by marine propellers. A Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings (FW–H) model was used to determine the effects of three different marine propellers w...
Traumatic dental injuries (TDI) are frequent among individuals of all ages, with a prevalence ranging from 12–22%, with crown and crown–root fractures being the most common. Fragment reattachment using light-cured nanocomposites is the re...
When performing a digital image correlation (DIC) measurement, multi-camera stereo-DIC is generally preferred over single-camera 2D-DIC. Unlike 2D-DIC, stereo-DIC is able to minimise the in-plane strain error that results from out-of-plane motion. Th...
Regression models in which the response variable has a compound distribution have applications in actuarial science. For example, the aggregate claim amount in a vehicle insurance portfolio can be modeled using a compound Poisson distribution. In thi...
Simulated annealing is a metaheuristic that balances exploration and exploitation to solve global optimization problems. However, to deal with multi- and many-objective optimization problems, this balance needs to be improved due to diverse factors s...

The conventional methods of parameter estimation in transformers, such as the open-circuit and short-circuit tests, are not always available, especially when the transformer is already in operation and its disconnection is impossible. Therefore, alte...
Robotics technology has made significant advancements in various fields in industry and society. It is clear how robotics has transformed manufacturing processes and increased productivity. Additionally, navigation robotics has also been impacted by...
