The seismic analysis of ground-supported cylindrical steel tanks subjected to lateral harmonic displacement loadings has been carried out. This paper numerically evaluates the structural response of various tank geometries due to resonant seismic slo...

In this study, we examined the impact of carbon nanotube (CNT) concentration on the mechanical properties of epoxy/CNT composites under acid exposure. Samples with varying CNT concentrations (0% to 5%) were fabricated and characterized using dynamic...

This study undertakes an investigation into the fatigue life of carbon steel specimens with opposite semicircular edge notches using a combined approach based on experimental and numerical analysis. The study emphasises the determination of stress co...

Natural circulation loops are thermohydraulic circuits used to transport heat from a source to a sink in the absence of a pump, using the forces induced by the thermal expansion of a working fluid to circulate it. Natural circulation loops have a wid...

Steel construction is used more often these days as an alternative to the R.C.C. when lightweight, high-strength, large-span structures with a faster erection are required. Extensive studies have been conducted by researchers to study the seismic per...

Researchers have investigated the feasibility of using ultrafine palm oil fuel ash (u-POFA) as a cement replacement material because of its potential to reduce the environmental impact of concrete production. u-POFA, a by-product of palm oil fuel com...

This study examines the effects of particle size and heat pipe angle on the thermal effectiveness of a cylindrical screen mesh heat pipe using silver nanoparticles (Ag) as the test substance. The experiment investigates three different particle sizes...

This study’s goal is to utilize robust control theory to effectively mitigate structural oscillations in smart structures. While modeling the structures, two-dimensional finite elements are used to account for system uncertainty. Advanced contr...

This study investigates wind turbine structural dynamics using stochastic analysis and computational methods in both the time and frequency domains. Simulations and experiments are utilized to evaluate the dynamic response of a wind turbine structure...

This paper proposes an optimization procedure to achieve the best configuration of multiple degrees of freedom Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) to mitigate the pointing error of Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Earth-based radio antennae operating u...
