Role of Active Morphing in the Aerodynamic Performance of Flapping Wings in Formation Flight
(MDPI, 2021)Migratory birds have the ability to save energy during flight by arranging themselves in a V-formation. This arrangement enables an increase in the overall efficiency of the group because the wake vortices shed by each of ... -
Shear Strength of Fiber Reinforced Recycled Aggregate Concrete
(MDPI, 2020)In this paper, shear strength of fiber reinforced recycled concrete was investigated. A Self Consolidated Concrete (SCC) matrix with 100% coarse recycled aggregate and different types of fibers were used in the study. Steel ... -
A Study and Assessment of the Status of Energy Efficiency and Conservation at School Buildings
(MDPI, 2022)The building sector consumes a significant portion of global energy use. In this regard, this work was undertaken to study the status of energy efficiency and conservation at a large school building in the northern part ... -
Sustainable Cooling and Lubrication Strategies in Machining Processes: A Comparative Study
(Elsevier, 2019)Applying an adequate cooling and lubrication technique during machining processes is an important issue which affects the machining system efficiency. Flood cooling offers an effective solution to reduce the effect of the ... -
Task-Based Design Approach: Development of a Planar Cable-Driven Parallel Robot for Upper Limb Rehabilitation
(MDPI, 2021)This paper deals with the optimal design of a planar cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR), with three degrees of freedom, intended for assisting the patient’s affected upper limb along a prescribed movement. A Qualisys motion ... -
Variation in cooling performance of a bio-based phase change material by adding graphene nanoplatelets with surfactants
(Elsevier, 2022)In this paper, thermal characteristics of various phase change materials induced with additives and surfactants are studied to enhance cooling properties and chemical stability. In this regard, graphene nanoplatelets at ...
