Ionic propulsion, where charged particles, ions, are produced between electrodes and accelerate towards the negative electrode, has practical applications as a propulsion system in the space industry; however, its adoption to in-atmosphere ionic prop...

This paper presents three different approaches for generating points along the interaction diagram corresponding to design load effects—shear, bending moment, and axial force—to achieve optimal shear strength adequacy with the Australian...

Aluminum light poles are essential components of modern infrastructure, providing illumination for highways, urban areas, and pedestrian pathways. Despite their importance, structural vulnerabilities in handholes—necessary for electrical access...

This study addresses the critical challenge of variable image quality in deep learning-based automated pest identification. We propose a holistic pipeline that integrates systematic Image Quality Assessment (IQA) with tailored preprocessing to enhanc...

Roll-to-roll production of thin organic and large-area electronic (TOLAE) devices often involves a two-step process per functional layer: a continuous, un-pattered deposition of the film and subsequent structuring process, such as laser ablation. Thi...

In this paper, an integrated geometric and thermal-induced errors prediction approach for active error compensation in machine tools is proposed and evaluated. The proposed approach is based on a hybrid of physical and neural network predictive model...

Natural fiber-reinforced unidirectional composites are increasingly adopted in modern industries due to their superior mechanical performance and desirable properties from both material and engineering perspectives. Among various approaches, represen...

This research presents a detailed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of 26 mm Crown cork metal closures used in glass bottle packaging, with the objective of quantifying and comparing their environmental impacts across all life cycle stages. This study adhe...

We describe the problem of estimating the speaker’s head orientation from the asynchronous multi-channel waveforms observed by microphones distributed in a room. In particular, we address a novel problem of estimating head orientation from soun...

Conventional thermomechanical models recently failed to reproduce the temperature profile measured during rapid annular laser heating of a disk, with discrepancies of up to 150 K. One might have thought that these discrepancies resulted from neglecti...
