This paper is concerned with the network-theoretic properties of so-called k-nearest neighbor intelligent vehicular platoons, where each vehicle communicates with k vehicles, both in front and behind. The network-theoretic properties analyzed in this paper play major roles in quantifying the...

Braiding is a manufacturing technique in which material yarns are repeatedly interlaced to create a preform. The preform is impregnated with a polymer matrix to create a braided composite. Several studies have investigated the tensile, compressive and torsional behaviour of braided composites and...

Reducing the overall mine-water consumption is a necessity in moving toward a more sustainable mining industry in Canada. Water treatment is a key requirement to achieve this goal. This study numerically investigates the dynamics of a decantation process as a technique to recycle and reuse...

In this paper, an interface crack between piezoelectric and orthotropic half-spaces has been studied in detail. By using integral transformation techniques, the present mixed boundary value problem was reduced to the solution of singular integral equations, which can be further reduced to solving...

A dynamic 2D axisymmetric CFD model, coupled to a 1D bed model, has been developed to simulate the production of lime in a rotary kiln. The model simulates heat transfer caused by radiation, convection and conduction between the gas, wall, and bed to determine the axial bed temperature in the...

The current study investigates the interaction of a piezoelectric dislocation with a multi-layered coated fiber inhomogeneity embedded in an infinite piezoelectric solid. In our study, three dissimilar material phases are involved: the matrix, the inclusion and the multi-layered coating layers....

This work demonstrates a novel multi-configurable three-state electrothermally-actuated microgripper. The state of the gripper refers to the electrical configuration of the hot and cold arms as well as the mechanical mode of operation. The gripper has three basic electrical configurations and...

It has been more than two years since the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our world. Schools cannot be closed forever and now it is the time for everyone to go back to work. Classrooms are among the highest risk places because of their nature. Where many students are sitting for hours and one...

In this paper, a particle microconcentrator is designed and simulated that works by combining the AC electrothermal (ACET) and Dielectrophoresis (DEP) forces. The microconcentrator consists of a PMMA channel with copper electrodes on the walls and bottom of the channel. On each side of the...
