This paper introduces a novel case study to strategically determine the optimal metal-cutting process for thick steel plates utilizing a hybrid MOORA-PSI approach. The use of the hybrid MOORA-PSI method simplifies decision-making by integrating weight assignment and ranking of alternatives. Five prominent metal-cutting processes, including oxygen flame, plasma arc, laser, wire EDM (wire electro-discharge machining), and abrasive water jet cutting, are commonly used for cutting thick steel plates, each with unique capabilities and limitations, and are considered potential alternatives. Eight evaluation criteria, capital cost, running cost, accuracy, edge quality, kerf width, maximum thickness, production flexibility, and production rate, are used to assess these metal-cutting alternatives. Wire EDM ranks as the optimal choice for cutting thick steel plates based on defined evaluation criteria, with laser cutting closely trailing, followed by oxygen flame, abrasive water jet, and plasma cutting successively. The results are validated by comparing them with those of other MCDM approaches and by conducting a Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient test, yielding consistent results. Additionally, sensitivity analysis, employing criteria weight exchange and dynamic variations in the decision-making matrix, further confirms the accuracy and reliability of the findings.","PeriodicalId":11753,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Research Express","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142268372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resulting samples were analysed using a modular compact rheometer (MCR) for oscillatory strain sweep and rotational current sweep. Rheological analyses were repeated after one year in storage. Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) results show significant microstructural and performance deterioration of grease thickener in the sample with kerosene, which concludes that kerosene had a very significant effect on the degradation of the grease thickener. From this study, it was revealed that low viscosity oils disrupt the reconstruction of the thickener of lithium grease, which in turn causes deteriorating shear rheological performance of MRG at off-state conditions. This comprehensive analysis explains the relationships between MRG composition, microstructural characteristics, and performance parameters, offering a foundational framework for further exploration and advancement in this scientific field.","PeriodicalId":11753,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Research Express","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Motivated by the need to optimize offshore wind resources and bridge the gap between onshore and offshore wind energy achievements, this study hypothesizes that ERA5 reanalysis wind data can be relied upon for assessing offshore wind resources and optimizing wind farm layouts, especially in the absence of measured data. The research employs methods such as comparing ERA5 data with empirical wind measurements, generating wind rose diagrams for layout optimization, and conducting a comprehensive financial analysis to estimate the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE). The results confirm the efficacy of ERA5 data, identifying an optimal wind farm layout with a capacity density of 5.17 MW per square kilometer, turbine spacing of 7.22 meters, and an LCoE of Rs. 8.84 per kWh. The study concludes that significant financial support and strategic policy interventions are essential for minimizing wake losses, optimizing capacity density, and fostering the long-term growth of India’s offshore wind energy sector, providing critical insights for policymakers, developers, and investors.

These unconventional properties have been tailored and explored in many applications such as in bio-sensors, waveguides and antennas. The split ring resonators are the commonly used constituent meta-atoms of metasurfaces whose design and analysis rely on commercially available numerical electromagnetic fields (EM) solvers and experimental analysis. These numerical EM solvers are based on meshing and partitioning of graphical structures into the desire grids or patches to solve Maxwell equations in discrete form. However, graphical rendering and meshing of 3D objects requires significant space-time computational resources to analyze the structure. With the cost of licenses of EM solvers being very expensive, analytical solution were explored. The use of LC resonant frequency analytical formula provides an approximate value of resonant frequency which is less accurate and does not gives information about the current characteristics induced on the constinuent meta-atom of a metasurface. This paper presents an analytical approach to the design and analysis of a doubly split double rings (DSRR) using lumped element equivalent circuit that can be solved by mesh network analysis. The resonant frequency is extracted from the induced current characteristics which agrees with simulations and experimental results. The resonant frequency errors for a single DSRR unit cell ranged from1.05% to 7%, and for two coupled DSRR unit cells, they ranged from 1.4% to 11%.","PeriodicalId":11753,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Research Express","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates soil properties along a proposed 34 km road alignment in Yobe State, Nigeria, to characterize soil variability for road construction and develop a predictive model for California Bearing Ratio (CBR). Of the 34 soil samples analyzed, 30 were classified as A-3(1) and four as A-1(1) according to the AASHTO system. Geotechnical testing, including particle size distribution (grading percentages: gravel 0.02%–75.34%, sand 15.5%–90.88%, fines 8.92%–34.84%), Atterberg limits (liquid limits 17%–33%, plastic limits 14%–27%, plasticity index <12%), specific gravity (2.01 to 2.73), compaction (maximum dry density 1.83–2.19 Mg m−3, optimum moisture content 7.29%–14.42%), and CBR tests (values ranging from 5%–62%), were conducted. Correlation analyses revealed strong positive relationships between maximum dry density (r = 0.82) and specific gravity (r = 0.89) with CBR values. Cluster analysis segmented the samples into four distinct groups: Cluster 0 (11 samples), Cluster 1 (9 samples), Cluster 2 (5 samples), and Cluster 3 (9 samples). A linear regression model predicted CBR using maximum dry density and specific gravity (mean squared error = 9.82, R2 = 0.92). Based on CBR criteria, 8 out of 34 samples (CBR 20%–53%) satisfied subbase requirements, while none met the recommended minimum CBR of 80% for base course materials. This study enhances road construction planning through soil variability analysis, effective soil categorization via cluster analysis, and a reliable CBR prediction model.

Diesel engines play a crucial role in ensuring human comfort and well-being across residential, commercial, transportation, and emergency response sectors because of their reliability and versatility. However, identifying alternative fuels remains a significant challenge. Objective. This study aims to develop a comprehensive mathematical model using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to optimize the performance of Compression Ignition (CI) engines utilizing different types of plastic pyrolysis oil. Methods. Through systematic data collection and analysis, this study examines the importance of design parameters, specifically injection pressure, compression ratio, engine load, and type of plastic pyrolysis oil, which are important for specific fuel consumption. A prediction model was developed to identify the complex correlations between these factors and the fuel use. Results. The developed model serves as an effective tool for optimizing the CI engine performance under diverse operational conditions. Experimental validation involved testing diesel engines with conventional diesel fuel and various plastic pyrolysis oils, followed by optimization using RSM to achieve optimal engine performance. The engine load was identified as the most significant parameter affecting the specific fuel consumption, followed by the fuel type, injection pressure, and compression ratio. The high R-squared (99.35%) and adjusted R-squared (98.02%) values indicate that the proposed model effectively fits the experimental data. Conclusion. The RSM-based model effectively optimizes CI engine performance under varied operational conditions.

SolidWorks 2020 is used for designing of CNC spindle (based on ISO BT40 standards) and ANSYS Workbench 2020 is used for analysis. Moreover, analytical calculations for deformation are also done. Three different materials i.e. AISI 4340 steel, Grey cast iron, and Ti6Al4V alloy are chosen for the analysis. Effect of varying load on deformation and stress on CNC spindle is discussed. AISI 4340 steel showed better mechanical characteristics as compared to other materials. Moreover, the results showed that steel gives lesser values of deformation as compared to other materials, when applied under different load conditions. Although Grey cast iron can be economical and weight of the spindle can also be reduced but Grey Cast iron has greater value of deformation when load is applied. On the other hand, Ti6Al4V alloy specimen exhibited less stress as compared to other materials but mechanical properties in terms of modulus of elasticity are not that good as AISI 4340 steel. So, AISI 4340 steel could be a good option for spindle materials that require desired properties such as strong corrosion resistance, tensile strength, yield strength, and propagation. This will boost the accuracy and efficiency of spindle.
