Polymers have gained a foothold in the international market and are actively utilized at a large scale in various industries. They are used as sliding layers in various types of friction units. However, there is a lack of research on their deformatio...

Modular precast construction is a methodological approach to reduce environmental impacts and increase productivity when building with concrete. Constructions are segmented into similar precast concrete elements, prefabricated with integrated quality...

Accurate pavement design and evaluation requires the execution of response analysis. Pavement materials’ behavior does not necessarily conform to the assumptions of the multi-linear elastic theory usually adopted during pavement analysis. In pa...

The development of electronic systems and wireless communication has led to a proportional increase in data traffic over time. One potential solution for alleviating data congestion is to augment the bandwidth capacity. This study presents a novel as...

This study addresses the pressing energy constraints in nations like Bangladesh by proposing the implementation of photovoltaic (PV) microgrids. Given concerns about environmental degradation, limited fossil fuel reserves, and volatile product costs,...

As a result of the Internet of Things (IoT), smart city infrastructure has been able to advance, enhancing efficiency and enabling remote management. Despite this, this interconnectivity poses significant security and privacy concerns, as cyberthreat...

The use of coat-hanger dies is prevalent in the plastic film and sheet extrusion industry. The product quality and the power of the extrusion machine depend on the uniformities of the fluid velocity at the exit and the pressure drop. Die manufacturer...

Aerial additive manufacturing (AAM) represents a paradigm shift in using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, often called ‘drones’) in the construction industry, using self-powered and untethered UAVs to extrude structural cementitious materi...

The most modern technique utilized to create intricate manufactured parts for a variety of applications is called additive manufacturing (AM). Fused deposition modeling (FDM) has been acknowledged as the greatest consideration in the development and...

This study aims to evaluate the precision of nine distinct hyperelastic models using experimental data sourced from the existing literature. These models rely on parameters obtained through curve-fitting functions. The complexity in finite element mo...
