This study concerns with the free vibration analyses for centrifugally stiffened cracked beams modelled as functionally graded material in the axial direction. The variation of material properties along the cracked beam ...

Most robotic systems consist of heavy machine elements that help reduce the vibrations generated by motion and that support good positional accuracy. Large-sized actuators are needed for such systems. Energy consumption ...

Today, the important challenges with the utilization of hydrogen in power-producing applications (internal combustion engines and fuel cells) are its delivery and storage and these create a big hesitation regarding the ...

A metamaterial-based transmission line sensor was designed to determine the amount of methanol in methanol-contaminated local spirit samples both numerically and experimentally. The proposed sensor consists of a square ...

In this study, a novel fuzzy logic-based decision support system approach to provide assistance in the selection of suitable input shaping techniques is presented. The proposed approach selects the suitable input shaping ...

The thermal fatigue behavior of chromium vanadium carbide (Cr - V - C) coatings and the wear of the coatings after thermal fatigue cycling was studied. The Cr - V - C coatings were grown on the surface of a ductile iron ...

Nanofibers can be interleaved into polymers and improvements in mechanical properties such as resistance to impact, delamination and debonding as well as enhanced ductility can be obtained. In this work, GFRP laminated ...

In the present paper, the blast furnace slag (BFS) supported Co-B catalyst were investigated in detail. The impregnation-chemical reduction method was used while hydrochloric (HCl) acid treated BFS samples (BFS+) were ...

Laminated composite plates are utilized due to their high strength/weight ratios. Since such structures are light and have less stiffness, their natural frequencies are lower than usual isotropic structures. Therefore, ...

In this study, the effect of adding nanosize additive to glass fiber reinforced composite plates on mechanical properties and surface milling was investigated. In the light of the investigations, with the addition of MWCNTs ...
