This paper presents a novel actuation solution to address the drop foot disorder. The proposed actuator consists of a superelastic Nitinol rod with a variable torsional stiffness that is adjusted by the controlled application of an axial load. The superelastic SMA element enables the AFO to provide sufficient torque d…
In this paper two innovative concepts for adjustable energy absorbing elements are presented. These absorbers can serve as an essential element in a smart crash management system e.g. for automotive applications. The adaptability is based on the basic idea of adjusting the stiffness of the absorber in relation to the…
Propagation of Lamb waves in multilayered elastic anisotropic plates is studied in the framework of combination of the six-dimensional Cauchy formalism and the transfer matrix method. The closed form secular equations for dispersion curves of Lamb waves propagating in multilayered plates with arbitrary elastic anisotr…
Abstract Since natural gas containing methane as major component is the most promising fuel for the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), development of a numerical simulation code of the intermediate‐temperature disk‐type seal‐less SOFC for methane fuel case is considered to be very useful. In this study, therefore, we devel…
Microwave assisted combustion synthesis is used for fast and controlled processing of advanced ceramics. Single phase and sinter active nano crystalline alpha alumina powders were successfully synthesized by different fuel-to-oxidant molar ratios using aluminium nitrate as an oxidiser, glycine as a reducing agents and…
Twelve new constitutional bis(N-salicylideneaniline)s (BSANs) belonging to three different series have been prepared and characterised by the two-fold reaction of alkoxyanilines with 2,3-dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde, 4,6-dihydroxyisophthalaldehyde and 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde. Their thermal behaviour and liquid…
Thin films of lead sulphide (PbS) were deposited using chemical bath deposition (CBD) at different lead ion concentrations. A mixture of sodium hydroxide, varied concentrations of lead nitrate, triethanolamine (TEA), ammonia solution, thiourea, di-ionized and distilled water were used. A dip time of 120 min and pH of…
Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire ratchet actuators overcome SMA wire strain limitations by accumulating actuation stroke over multiple cycles. The underlying architecture is effective for producing large strokes from a small package, creating continuous rotation or extended displacement, and precise. It also provides dis…
Abstract The Cu‐containing steels are widely used for nuclear pressure vessel materials because of their good performance under high pressure and high temperature. In this article, magnetron sputtering was used to prepare iron films with various Cu contents. The samples were annealed at temperature range of 300–500 °C…
By hydrothermal reactions of Cd(NO3)2·4H2O and MnCl2 with 2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (p-MOPhH3IDC) in the presence of 2,2′-bipyridine (2,2′-bipy), and 2-(p-methylphenyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (p-MePhH3IDC), respectively, two novel supramolecular complexes, [Cd(p-MOPhH2IDC)2(2,2…
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is well established as a tool of choice for solving complex problems that involve interplay of the various transport phenomena (fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer) and/or chemical reaction. CFD modelling in such applications can be an effective tool for understanding the proces…
Abstract A series of novel organic conjugated molecules (5a–5d) comprising 2,3‐benzopyridiazine as electron‐withdrawing core and thiophene derivatives as electron‐donating arms have been synthesized successfully in good yields. The ultraviolet‐visible (UV‐Vis) absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra of 5a–5d revea…
Calotropis procera (Apocynaceae) is a non-native species that has its origin in Africa and Asia, but was introduced into the northeastern region of Brazil in the beginning of last century. In some areas, the dry biomass of C. procera is used as animal feed. However, previous studies indicated that the species is capab…
Magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) have attracted interest because of their considerable recoverable strain (up to 10%) and fast response time (1 kilohertz or higher). MSMAs are comprised of martensitic variants that have tetragonal unit cells and a magnetization vector that is innately aligned with the short side o…
In this work, a volumetric-deviatoric split in microplane formulation is considered for modeling of shape memory alloys. In the microplane theory, macroscopic stress tensor is projected into the microplane stresses that are decomposed to either Volumetric-Deviatoric-Tangential (V-D-T) split or Volumetric-Deviatoric (V…
High performance optical metering structures in airborne and space applications need to exhibit dimensional stability in demanding thermal and mechanical environments. Materials for this application should have a low coefficient of thermal expansion, high thermal diffusivity, high specific stiffness and exhibit good d…
Schiff bases obtained from 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde with cyclopropylamine, and 4-methoxysalicylaldehyde with cyclopentylamine, were used as ligands for Zn(II) resulting in two mononuclear zinc complexes, [Zn(SalPr)2] and [ZnI2(SalPt)2], where SalPr is 4-chloro-2-(cyclopropyliminomethyl)phenolate and SalPt is 2-(cyclope…
We report a degradation behavior of fully transparent oxide thin film transistor under dynamic bias stress which is the condition similar to actual pixel switching operation in active matrix display. After the stress test, drain current increased while the threshold voltage was almost unchanged. We found that shorteni…
In this work, the possibility of using neutral sulfite semi-chemical (NSSC) bagasse pulp mixed with hardwood chemimechanical pulp (CMP) and bleached softwood kraft pulp (BSKP) was investigated with the aim of reducing hardwood and BSKP consumption. The bagasse NSSC pulp had a digester yield of about 73% and was unblea…
ABSTRACT A new method of synthesis of poly(ester carbonate)s, based on the reaction of dihydroxy compounds with diphenyl dicarbonates containing ester groups was presented. The monomers utilized were diphenyl dicarbonates of cis/trans‐1,4‐cyclohexane dicarboxylate and of terephthalate units with butanediol or bispheno…
