Abstract:

In this paper basis of direct force method is developed and presented in a concise and step by step way. Though direct force method has no edge over direct stiffness method, yet it is of a great academic interest for the scholars working on matrix methods of analysis. There can be three ways of selection of redundants to analyze the indeterminate structures by force method. A structure may have all the external redundants or it may have all the internal redundants. Still there is third probability that it may have mixed redundants i.e., external as well as internal redundants. These three cases require separate formulations. This paper presents all the three formulations.

Abstract:

This paper presents a novel control method for shunt Active Power Filter (APF) based on the Nonlinear Auto Regressive with eXogenous neural network (NARX). The proposed series parallel NARX network is trained by using learning algorithm called static backpropagation algorithm for electric loads nonlinearity modelling. Then the well-trained series-parallel architecture NARX network is converted to parallel architecture NARX network and tested with different patterns. The algorithm of the instantaneous reactive power is integrated with the proposed NARX networks to analyze the predominant harmonics. Finally, the control reference signal of the shunt APF is designed. The proposed method is applied on an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) rotated by three-phase induction motor which is one of most widely used loads in petroleum industry field. The results show very good behavior of the NARX neural network in harmonic detection and mitigation.

Abstract:

As the NAVY moves forward with plans to become less dependent on fossil fuels and more dependent on hybrid electric drives and all-electric ships, being aware of the stability issues associated with direct current (DC)-DC and DC-alternating current (AC) power converters and understanding how to solve the issues that come with using them, are very important. The negative input impedance that is observed when using a buck converter servicing a constant power load (CPL) is one of the issues that needs to be understood. Understanding the stability issue caused by the negative input impedance and mitigating this instability by implementing the adaptive controller is focus of this work..

Abstract:

Thermal ablation is becoming most widely used techniques for treatment of benign and malignant tumors of different organs like the liver, lung, kidney and also the bone [1-5]. It is the best alternative for the candidates who cannot undergo the surgical resection. Ablation techniques have proven well even in case of treatment of solid tumors in organs such as breast, prostate, adrenal glands, pancreas and also the uterus [6-12]. Ablation followed by other techniques like chemotherapy and usage of nanoparticles in curing have proven to improve the treatment efficacy [13-19]. This paper reviews the advent and development of Microwave Ablation Technique. We provide an overview of physical and technical aspects of MWA. Microwave Ablation was first introduced in Far Eastern clinical practice in early 80's. In the initial stage it was having the issues of controllability of the emitted field, poor coagulation process [70]. With the time there have been a lot of improvements and technique has really grown well to tackle HCC.

Abstract:

Image segmentation is a very important and pre-processing step in image analysis. The conventional multilevel thresholding methods are efficient for bi-level thresholding because of its simplicity, robustness, less convergence time and accuracy. However, a mass of computational cost is needed and efficiency is broken down as an exhaustive search is utilized for finding the optimal thresholds, which results in application of evolutionary algorithm and swarm intelligence to obtain the optimal thresholds. The main aim of image segmentation is to segregate the foreground from background. For the first time this paper established a naturally inspired hybrid optimization based multilevel image thresholding for image segmentation by maximizing Shannon entropy or Fuzzy entropy. The proposed algorithm is tested on standard set of medical dental images andit is demonstrated that the proposed method shows better performance in objective function, structural similarity index, and misclassification error than state of art methods.

Abstract:

Hybrid Propulsion Technique is more suitable to applications requiring throattling and restart of long duration missions. Such application would include primary boost propulsion for vehicles of space launch, upper stages and satallite maneuvering systems. In hybrid techniques speed regulation is possible by regulating the supply of oxidizer. Higher fuel density can attained in case of hybrid propellant rocket system. In hybrid propellant Rocket system the fuel and oxidizer are stored separately, there is no chemical deterioration between fuel and oxidizer. Hybrid rockets are light weight when compared to liquid propellant and solid propellant rocket engines. Higher amount of theoretical specific impulse can be achieved compare to solid and liquid propellant engines. When more number of components available in engine construction, it is very difficult to provide a cooling to Engine thrust chamber.......

Abstract:

Concrete is a highly compacted construction composite material made by mixing suitable quantities of coarse and fine aggregates, cement and water. Its strength is much greater than ordinary bricks used in construction due to its nature of cast. Concrete is used in beams as pillars to hold structure firm to the ground, and in up-floors for storey buildings. Glass is an indispensable solid waste in our environment. Its durability, none-biodegradability and noncorrosive characteristics places it permanently in our surroundings as waste and hence the need to find suitable ways of converting it into proper usage to clean our habitat. In the present paper, we investigate the suitability of waste glass as stabilization in concrete as coarse aggregate. We deduce from the experiment that concrete with 0 % replacement has the maximum average strength of 29.27 N/mm2 and highest density of 2591 kg/m3, followed by 50% partial replacement.....
