Special Issue on the Second International Workshop on Micro- and Nano-Scale Thermal Radiation
(Elsevier, 2015-06)
Micro- and nano-scale thermal radiation has become one of the fastest growing research areas because of advances in nanotechnology and the development of novel materials. The related research and development includes ...
Surface characterization of textiles for optimization of functional polymeric nano-capsule attachment
(Carl Hanser Verlag, 2019-09)
Surface properties of textiles play an essential role in their functionalization with micro/nanometer-sized polymeric capsules containing active agents that can provide controlled release. The attached capsules provide ...
A new methodology to determine the design sensitivity of critical automotive body joints for basic design cycle
(Sage, 2019-09)
As a result of more stringent requirements for improved fuel economy and emissions, there has been an increasing research activity to make vehicles lighter weight under some predetermined structural performance targets ...
From passive to active pitch regulation of wind turbines: Optimization method with numerical validation
(ASME, 2015)
An optimization method that changes the control strategy of the Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) from passive- to active-pitch has been developed. The method aims to keep the rated power constant by adjusting the blade ...
Tunable near-field radiative transfer by III–V group compound semiconductors
(IOP Publishing, 2019-03-06)
Near-field radiative transfer (NFRT) refers to the energy transfer mechanism which takes place between media separated by distances comparable to or much smaller than the dominant wavelength of emission. NFRT is due to the ...
Optimization of the intermediate layer friction stir spot welding process
(Springer Nature, 2019-09)
Friction stir spot welding was performed for joining sheets of 2024 and 6061 aluminum alloys, which is otherwise difficult using conventional welding techniques. The presented approach utilizes an intermediate layer to ...
A methodology to optimize damping pad application on a complex structure using finite element models
(International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, IIAV, 2018)
Passive constrained layer damping patches have been extensively used for vibration and acoustics applications due to their capability to dissipate vibrational energy into heat. In this study, we perform an optimization ...
On the decoupling of the improved Boussinesq equation into two uncoupled Camassa-Holm equations
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2017-06)
We rigorously establish that, in the long-wave regime characterized by the assumptions of long wavelength and small amplitude, bidirectional solutions of the improved Boussinesq equation tend to associated solutions of two ...
Nano-boron as an antibacterial agent for functionalized textiles
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-01)
The antibacterial properties of boron-containing compounds are well known although there are limited studies available on the pure boron nanoparticles. In this study boron nano-particles were characterized in terms of their ...
Localized near-field radiative heat transfer in biomimicry designs inspired by neon tetra fish
(Begell House Inc., 2019-06)
Inspired by multilayer structure of the Neon tetra tropical fish which is one of the most fascinating multilayer systems ever reported in nature, we investigate the localized effects of coupling of surface phonon polaritons ...
