The fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, oil, etc. used today to obtain energy have a limited lifespan. Therefore, the interest in renewable energy sources is increasing. Solar energy, which is one of these renewable energy sources, comes to the fore more than other renewable energy sources because the energy emitted instantly by the sun is so much greater than the energy consumed by the world in a year. Therefore, much research has been done to produce a greater amount of energy from the sun. This study examines the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods that are widely used today. The methods under review include; Constant Voltage, Short Circuit Current, Perturb and Observe, Fuzzy Logic, Incremental Conductance and Artificial Neural Networks. Of these methods, Perturb and Observe, Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Neural Networks have been analyzed using the PVSOL software, which is for making designs and simulations for photovoltaic systems. The analysis includes a comparison of the depreciation periods for the Standard Systems and the facilities where these control algorithms are used.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43796917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Important concepts include the continued use of X-rays for diagnosis and treatment, particularly in the radiological energy range, as well as the calculation of the radiation attenuation properties of such materials, the build-up factor, and the attenuation coefficients. Radiation shielding is characterized by parameters such as linear attenuation coefficient (LAC, cm−1),.equivalent atomic number (Zeq), exposure buildup factors (EBF) and exposure absorption buildup factors (EABF). Radiation is often employed in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and accurately calculating the absorbed dosage during radiation treatment, which is one of the most popular cancer treatments. It relies on accurate modeling of the radiation beams administered to the patient and their interaction with the environment in which they are absorbed. In this research, the shielding characteristics of water, fat, and bone related to human tissue are investigated. Using Phy-X/PSD software, the equivalent atomic number (Zeq), exposure buildup factor (EBF), and energy absorption buildup factor (EABF) were determined.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48598866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the concrete produced for cantilever beams, aggregates not larger than 4 mm in diameter were reduced by 20% and replaced with iron chip waste. Cantilever beams are manufactured with stirrup spaces of 50, 100 and 150 mm. The hook angles of the stirrups are differentiated to be 90 and 135 degrees. The experimental setup was prepared in such a way that one side of the samples was fixed, and the other side was free. Load-displacement curves of cantilever beams were obtained. In the research, it was observed that although cantilever beams with 20% iron chips experienced a decrease in their strength compared to the reference beams, they increased their ductility values at all three different stirrup spaces. As the stirrup spacing widened, the ductility values decreased. However, the effect of iron chip additives on ductility has increased. Samples with a stirrup hook angle of 135 degrees increased both strength and ductility values compared to samples with a stirrup hook angle of 90 degrees.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44535335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It functions as an interface between the outside world and the brain, such as positioning, moving, touching, feeling, and grasping objects. It can perform fine motor skills precisely, thanks to its high degree of freedom of hand and its complex and flexible structure. This study proposes a dynamic human hand model with 15 degrees of freedom for rehabilitation purposes, reflecting the aforesaid abilities with significant accuracy. For the finger biomechanics design, finger joint lengths, angular workspace ranges, and joint torques were determined experimentally. Besides, joint torques during finger extension/flexion movements were calculated with the SolidWorks (SW) motion analysis and Ansys static structural analysis. To identify finger joint relationships, the workspaces for all fingers were computed and visualized during flexion/extension movements. Unlike the literature, the hand model includes a biomechanics computational analysis approach that makes it easy to adapt to hand models. The search demonstrates that using optimum comparative data for design parameters and fingers workspace ranges yields a cost-effective result for manufacturing a precision hand robot.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49516615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of them is by using the outgassing of some gas in high vacuum from a solid body. In this paper, the diffusion constant of helium from ULE (ultra-low expansion) glass is determined by using experimental data for outgassing rate of helium from three ULE glass plates with different dimensions. ULE glasses are one of the candidates which may be used in the project for quantum pascal. Usually, the diffusion constant is found by mathematical models which neglect the thickness of the plate. In this paper, a mathematical model for the outgassing of the helium by ULE glass is constructed, taking into account also the thickness of the plates. Optimum values for diffusion coefficient D are determined, such that the mathematical model for outgassing will fit in the best way possible the experimental data. Optimum values for D are calculated based on the fitting by the method of least squares. Values obtained in this manner are compared with the values taken by the previous models which considers plates as infinitely thin surfaces. Thus, the difference between these values, namely the edge effect on the outgassing of helium by ULE glass, is determined.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44513088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The base and nanocomposite materials were developed using a semi-solid state casting method. The instantaneous shock material reaction is characterised by carbide formation of the developed 1.5 wt% and 1.75 wt% nanocomposites. From the obtained results of creep study, shown that the nanocomposites with 1.5 wt% and 1.75 wt% of MWCNT have better creep resistance and stress exponent value at high working temperature compared to base alloy material. The enhanced creep resistance is due to the increased addition of MWCNT nanoparticle into the Al – 4.9 Mg matrix material and nanostructured carbide formation.
