This thesis work is eco-friendly, agricultural material. Examples of some non-wood fibre material are also discussed briefly but with emphasis on coconut fibre to evaluate its mechanical properties.Experiments were carried out and the result analyzed to calculate its young modulus,yield ...

Substituting composite structures for conventional metallic structures has many advantages because of higher specific stiffness and strength of composite materials. This work deals with the replacement of conventional two-piece steel drive shafts with a single-piece e-glass/ epoxy, high strength carbon/epoxy ...

Uprating is a process to assess the ability of a part to meet the functionality and performance requirements of the applications in which the part is used outside the manufacturers' specification range. However, uprating can be an expensive and time ...

The study presented measures the awakening effectiveness of a number of commercially available emergency alerting devices. Three groups of varying hearing levels were tested: hearing able, hard of hearing, and deaf. The devices evaluated are a typical audible smoke detector, ...

Title: Vehicle Path Optimization of Emergency Lane Change Maneuvers for Vehicle Simulation Driver-based handling tests, such as the Double Lane Change (DLC) maneuver are subjective in nature and depend largely on driver skill and road conditions. They also suffer from poor ...

Title: Thermal Modeling and Analysis of Three Dimensional (3D) Chip Stacks Three-dimensional (3D) chip architectures have garnered much research interest because of their potential to alleviate the interconnect delay bottleneck that is expected to limit the traditional ...

As a result of the global transition to lead (Pb)-free electronics, pure tin and high tin lead-free alloys have been widely adopted by the electronics part manufacturers as the materials of terminal finishes. However, electrically conductive tin whiskers have been ...

Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) is a well-established technique to assess the probability of failure or success of a system. Classical PRA does not consider the contributions of software to risk. Dr. B. Li and C. Smidts have established a framework ...

The risk of terrorist attack on large cryogenic hydrocarbon fuel tankers is unclear, due partly to difficulties in understanding how the spill, pool vaporization, turbulent dispersion and fuel-vapor mixing are coupled. The current study's objective is to model the vaporization, ...

Modern control systems often consist of networks of components that must share a common communication channel. Not all components of the networked control system can communicate with one another simultaneously at any given time. The "attention" that each component receives ...
