Abstract: This paper presents an application of a system analysis tool to evaluate the design and operation of a water treatment plant in Taiwan. The optimal design and operation problem is posted as a nonlinear programming problem ...

Abstract: Clinker ash is a byproduct obtained from coal-fired electrical generators. It is a type of recycled granular material with a complex particle shape and large surface roughness. Particle shape descriptors and surface fractal ...

Abstract: Road surface roughness is an important indicator for evaluating the service quality and performance of asphalt pavements; the traditional evaluation index for this indicator is the international roughness index (IRI). In ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a novel design method that enhances the force/torque, bendability, and controllability of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs). The complex structure of the soft actuator is simplified by approximating it ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel method to enhance the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) equipped with an energy storage system (ESS) to provide voltage support during grid ...
