Abstract: This article presents a generalized procedure for selecting rationally the design parameters of a simple wave power absorption system. The system utilizes a tethered-symmetrical float which rides ...

Abstract: In this work, we discuss an operational matrix approach for introducing an approximate solution of the fractional subdiffusion equation (FSDE) with both Dirichlet boundary conditions (DBCs) and Neumann boundary conditions ...

Abstract: Iraq is experiencing water-resource shortages which are expected to become more severe in the future. It is believed that rainwater harvesting will be one of the solutions to overcome this problem. In this paper, rainwater ...

Abstract: This paper presents an efficient approximation schemes for the numerical solution of a fractional variational problem (FVP) and fractional optimal control problem (FOCP). As basis function for the trial solution, we employ ...

Abstract: The estimation of seismic forces for acceleration-sensitive nonstructural components (NSCs) in buildings including architectural, mechanical, and electrical systems and building content requires a reliable prediction of ...

Abstract: Floating bridges are permanent or temporary bridges supported by pontoons. This research was initiated to experimentally study the effect of floating bridges on flow characteristics and bed morphology. Two hundred and ...

Abstract: The effect of temperature on the wear particles produced by vibratory cavitation erosion tests on Al-99.92 in distilled water was analyzed. Scanning electron microscope images of wear particles ...

Abstract: Cavitation erosion pits and their effects on erosion progression were investigated in detail for SUS 304 stainless steel, α+β brass (60/40), and pure aluminum (Al-99.999 and Al-99.92) by means ...

Abstract: This paper derives a new operational matrix of the variableorder (VO) time fractional partial derivative involved in anomalous diffusion for shifted Chebyshev polynomials. We then develop an accurate numerical algorithm ...
