Abstract: A mathematical model of propagation of the Love wave in an intermediate isotropic vertical layer placed in between two prestressed half-spaces with different elastic properties is proposed. The upper half-space is orthotropic ...

Abstract: The wind turbine technology has a unique technical identity and unique demands in terms of the methods used for design. Remarkable advances in wind power design have been achieved due to modern technological developments. ...

Abstract: The Indian wind industry was placed third in terms of total installed capacity of wind electricity in the world some years back. It suffered a great setback when this rank shifted down to fifth after the United States, ...

Abstract: As a result of the worldwide energy crisis, research and development activities in the field of wind energy have been gaining momentum for the last few years in many countries. Although this technology has been greatly ...

Abstract: The present work explores the adsorption potential of γ-alumina, a nanoadsorbent for abatement of Ni(II) from aqueous solutions. A response surface methodological approach was adopted to investigate the major operating ...

Abstract: Wind energy conversion systems appear as an attractive alternative for electricity generation. To maximize the use of wind generated electricity when connected to the electric grid, it is important to estimate and predict ...

Abstract: Generation of electrical energy from wind can be economically achieved only where a significant wind resource exists. Because of the cubic relationship between wind velocity and output energy, sites with small percentage ...

Abstract: This paper presents the initial prototype design of a vibrotactile threshold evaluator for the workplace (VTEW), which is portable and configurable in terms of the probe diameter (2–10 mm), ...
