Spreading behavior of droplets impacting over substrates with varying surface topographies
(Elsevier, 2020-12-05)
Droplet interaction with solid surface plays an important role in a number of practical applications such as thermal management systems, steel production, painting, prevention of impurit deposition, and formation of ...
Connection characteristics of silicon nanowire waveguides and fabrication of physical contact switches
(IEEE, 2010)
Optical characteristics of silicon nanowire waveguide connections are studied both theoretically and experimentally. Effects of geometrical sizes and positional alignments on optical performance are investigated. Results ...
An investigation into flow and heat transfer of an ultrasonic micro-blower device for electronics cooling applications
(Elsevier, 2016-05-08)
As compact electronics increase in functionality, new electronics cooling approaches must be more effective, and they must be lower in form factor. In this paper, we investigated the cooling performance of a miniature ...
Development of an antagonistically actuated smart joint
(Trans Tech Publications, 2017)
Shape memory alloys with their phase transformation properties; have been broadly implemented in smart structures. In this study, a functional design is presented where two wires actuate antagonistically to achieve motion ...
Discrete-time integral sliding mode control of a smart joint for minimally invasive surgeries
(IEEE, 2016)
In this work, a shape memory alloy(SMA) actuator based joint (smart joint) is controlled using a discrete-time integral sliding mode (DISM) control to guide the motion of an active catheter. Controller is designed on the ...
Influence of heat treatment parameters on the functional behavior and corrosion performance of a shape memory wire actuator
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2020-04)
In the present study, the effect of heat treatment parameters on the functional response, corrosion behavior and microstructural evolution of NiTi shape memory alloys were investigated. Various heat treatment regimes were ...
A Monte Carlo simulation for phonon transport within silicon structures at nanoscales with heat generation
(Elsevier, 2011-04)
Nanoscale phonon transport within silicon structures subjected to internal heat generation was explored. A Monte Carlo simulation was used. The simulation procedures differed from the current existing methods in which ...
ZMP-based online jumping pattern generation for a one-legged robot
(IEEE, 2010-05-01)
This paper is aimed at presenting a method to generate online jumping patterns, which can be applied to one legged jumping robots and optionally to humanoid robots. Our proposed method is based on ensuring the overall ...
A new model for predicting the required pressure difference for pressure swirl atomizers
(Europe, Institute for Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems, ILASS, 2020)
Prior to this study an investigation is made to analyze the accuracies of the semi-empirical correlations of the previous studies by comparing them with a large number of experimental data which is extracted from the works ...
Fluid flow characteristics inside convergent, divergent and straight open-end pressure swirl atomizer
(Europe, Institute for Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems, ILASS, 2020)
Effects of geometrical parameters on the performance of small-scale open-end pressure swirl atomizers (PSA) have been studied using computational fluid dynamics. The shape of the swirl chamber is the main geometrical feature ...
