Considering the importance of determining the mechanical properties of composites as raw materials for making fishing boats, this research aims to determine the use of Agel Leaf Fiber (ALF) in polymer matrix composites. The composite morphology was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and ImageJ software. The mechanical properties evaluated included Tensile Strength, Flexural Strength, and Hardness. The composite was prepared by incorporating CAP in varying volumes of 0 %, 10 %, and 30 % with a fixed ALF percentage of 40 %. The results showed that the addition of CAP significantly increased the tensile strength to 128.51 MPa, with 0.068 % elongation, 1787.39 MPa modulus of elasticity, and a hardness value of 75.2 HD. Furthermore, the addition of 10 % carbon exhibited a remarkable improvement in flexural strength, reaching 238.51 MPa. This improvement could be attributed to reduced porosity, resulting in enhanced bonding between ALF-CAP-Epoxy components. The flexural strength of the composite with the highest CAP content experienced a significant increase of 238.51 MPa. Thus, Agel leaf fiber has the potential to be used as a reinforcing material in the manufacture of composites and is applied in the manufacture of environmentally friendly fishing boat bodies","PeriodicalId":11804,"journal":{"name":"EUREKA: Physics and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140475400","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}

Deep drawing is an essential operation in sheet-forming technology to manufacture hollow parts. These parts are commonly used in the automobile, aviation, and household appliances industries. To prevent wrinkles on the rim part, a blank holder will be used to compress and flatten the workpiece before the metal is pulled into the die by the punch. Deep drawing without using workpiece holding force is applied to form hollow parts with low depth. In this case, the mould has a simple structure, helping to reduce manufacturing time and costs and making it easier to maintain and repair. The radius of the die is an essential parameter in deep drawing; it greatly affects the quality of products (making wrinkles and tears). However, this study has shown that, in deep drawing without using a blank holder, the cone angle of the die α has a major influence on the quality of the body and rim of the products, such as the products may or may not have wrinkles, either being thinned or thickened. This cone angle also affects the drawing force. This study has determined that, with α>120°, wrinkling begins to appear in the part wall, and wrinkling tends to increase as the angle α increases. The cone angle of the die for quality products is in the range of 100°<α≤120°. The taper angle smaller than 120° simultaneously increases the quality of the products and the cost of manufacturing die, so the most optimal value is determined by simulation and experimental verification as α=120°.

The previous experimental studies revealed that a viscous liquid during flow in low-permeable reservoirs exhibits an anomalous non-Newtonian character, accompanied by a violation of the linearity of the filtration process, and, consequently, Darcy's law. It was also established that starting from a certain critical size of the opening of the crack, the flow of a Newtonian fluid (water, viscous oil) becomes non-Newtonian, with the manifestation of an initial pressure gradient and flow locking. In this research work, rheophysical aspects of the non-Newtonian behavior of water during flow in thin rectangular channels are considered experimentally. Using the microchannel model, it is established that the nonlinear rheological effect in the flow of water in micro-slits is mainly caused by the value of the electrokinetic potential of the system, by reducing of which it is possible to significantly weaken the non-Newtonian nature of the fluid. To regulate the electrokinetic potential of the fluid system, an antistatic additive was used, the optimal concentration of which was established experimentally. The optimal concentration is defined to be 0.006 %. Based on the Bingham model, the rheological parameters of water flow were estimated at different micro-slit clearances changed in the range of 10÷25 micrometers, in the absence and presence of an antistatic additive.

Currently, various mathematical methods are available for solving optimization problems in general, and multi-objective optimization in particular. The comparison of mathematical methods when addressing the same problem has been explored in numerous studies. In this study, let’s conduct a comparison of two multi-objective optimization methods: the PSI method and the CURLI method. These two methods were applied collectively to tackle a multi-objective optimization problem related to a turning process. Experimental data were borrowed from a previous study, and a total of sixteen experiments were conducted. Roughness average (Ra), Roundness Error (RE), Tool Wear (VB), and Material Removal Rate (MRR) were the four output parameters measured in each experiment. The objective of solving the multi-objective optimization problem was to identify an experiment among the sixteen existing experiments that simultaneously minimized the three parameters of Ra, RE, and VB while maximizing MRR. The optimal results determined using the PSI and CURLI methods were also compared with the optimal results obtained through other methods (COCOSO, MABAC, MAIRCA, EAMR and TOPSIS) in published documents. The comparison results indicate that the optimal experiment found using the CURLI method consistently matches that of other methods. In contrast, the optimal results obtained through the PSI method differ significantly from those obtained through other methods. The Spearman correlation ranking coefficient between CURLI and the five methods COCOSO, MABAC, MAIRCA, EAMR, and TOPSIS is very high, ranging from 0.9 to 1. In contrast, this coefficient is very small when comparing PSI with the aforementioned five methods, falling within the range of –0.6088 to –0.3706 in this case.

Results revealed two transient voltage suppression levels encompassing Set A_(a,b), Set B_(a) and Set C_(a,b) as well as Set A//Set B//Set C and All Mode. These configurations achieved a clamping voltage of 41.6 V, categorized as Stage 1.

The application of STVS device in the track circuit of the signaling system reduced the transient voltage by diversion of the Transient Current or ISTVS through the STVS device into the ground system or the clamping voltage at the STVS device. This prevented the transient power from flowing into and damaging the relays of the track circuit, leaving only the clamping voltage with a missing peak wave.

Examples of these include traffic signals, medical equipment in hospitals, electrical appliances used in homes and offices, and public transportation. The process that generates electricity can pollute the air. Even though natural gas used in power plants is derived from fossil fuels, it can nevertheless produce air pollutants involving particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon monoxide (CO), which affect human health and cause environmental problems. Numerous researchers have devoted significant efforts to developing methods that not only facilitate the monitoring of current air quality but also possess the capability to predict the impacts of this increasing rise. The primary cause of air pollution issues associated with electricity generation is the combustion of fossil fuels. The objective of this study was to create three multiple linear regression models using artificial intelligence (AI) technology and data collected from sensors positioned around the energy generator. The objective was to precisely predict the amount of air pollution that electricity generation would produce. The highly accurate forecasted data proved valuable in determining operational parameters that resulted in minimal air pollution emissions. The predicted values were accurate with the mean squared error (MSE) of 0.008, the mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.071, and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 0.006 for the turbine energy yield (TEY). For the CO, the MSE was 2.029, the MAE was 0.791, and the MAPE was 0.934. For the NOx, the MSE was 69.479, the MAE was 6.148, and the MAPE was 0.096.
