» Abstract Epoxy has versatile industrial applications due to its brilliant characteristics, but on the other hand due to the delamination, brittleness, low toughness of epoxy limited its usage. These constraints of epoxy can get over by inclusion with the help of reinforcement before their industrial and aerospace application. In recent days, glass fiber reinforced composites are in demand as struc...Continue Reading »

» Abstract Excess unused solar radiation falling on the PV system rises its temperature and drops the electrical conversion efficiency. Phase change materials can be effectively used for the PV thermal management systems due to its high latent heat. In the current research work, effect of inclination angle on the thermal performance of PV PCM system is investigated. The inclination angle is increase...Continue Reading »

» Abstract In periodic forced response analysis of nonlinear structures, most of the time analytical solutions cannot be obtained due to the complex behavior of the nonlinearity and/or due to the number of nonlinear equations to be solved. Therefore, numerical methods are widely used. For periodic forced response analysis of nonlinear systems, generally Harmonic Balance Method (HBM) or Describing Fu...Continue Reading »

» Abstract The current scenario for the geotechnical engineering is not only to take care of vertical load of superstructure impending to the soil but also the lateral load subjected to the structure must be taken into consideration for the safe design of foundation. For designing pile foundation, knowledge of load–deflection behavior of pile under moderate to heavy load is necessary. In the p...Continue Reading »

» Abstract In the present research, Ni based powder casting was developed using a domestic microwave oven with a variable power level of 180–900 W at 2.45 GHz frequency. The power level and exposure time were optimized using a set of experiments. It was found that with increase in power level the exposure time for the development of casting was reduced. The casting was developed within 25 min ...Continue Reading »

» Abstract This chapter gives an insight into the class of tracking problems in nonlinear systems for which the first order derivative of the reference function does not exist. Using classical sliding mode control, only a restricted class of reference functions can be tracked. A solution to this problem by using fractional order operators is proposed. The technique works provided the reference funct...Continue Reading »
