Abstract: Abstract. The growing integration of renewable energy, especially wind power, in urban settings necessitates the optimization and performance enhancement of small-scale vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). The major ...

Abstract: A new approach for the analysis of aquifer test data for confined nonleaky aquifers is presented. An implicit function theorem is used to estimate the transmissivity and storage coefficient from intersecting graphs, which ...

Abstract: A flexible algorithm for solving nonlinear engineering design optimization problems involving zero-one, discrete, and continuous variables is presented. The algorithm restricts its search only to ...

Abstract: Green roofing technologies have been developed and implemented worldwide as they bring with them thermal, hydrological, and environmental benefits, especially in urbanized areas. Many studies have been conducted to investigate ...

Abstract: Ti6Al4V alloy is widely used in several engineering applications, especially in the biomedical field, because of its excellent biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance. However, the Ti6Al4V alloy ...

Abstract: Printed electronics is a fastest growing and emerging technology that have shown much potential in several industries including automotive, wearables, healthcare, and aerospace. Its applications can be found not only in ...

Abstract: A simplified procedure is presented to determine the maximum earthquake forces in intake‐outlet towers directly from the design earthquake spectrum without the need for a response‐history analysis. All the significant ...
