However, the selection of these features can be difficult, and results can be alleviated if it is wrongly selected. This study proposes a methodology that helps identify the optimal feature from eight time-domain statistical features using supervised machine learning algorithms. In this work, 44 milling experiments have been performed and labelled as chatter, transient, and stable states by observing the tool-machining condition. Subsequently, the eight time-domain-based features, i.e. mean, variance, peak-to-peak, root mean square, crest factor, form factor, kurtosis and skewness, have been calculated. After that, four machine learning techniques, i.e., random forest, gradient boosting, support vector machine and logistic regression, were utilized, and their accuracy score was 92.86 %, 96.8 %, 94.8 % and 91 %, respectively. After that, their feature score was evaluated to investigate the effectiveness of all 8 time domain-based features. Feature scores for mean, variance, peak-to-peak, root mean square, crest factor, form factor, kurtosis and skewness are 0.28, 0.25, 0.11, 0.095, 0.085, 0.08, 0.065 and 0.035, respectively. The outcome of this research is that peak-to-peak time domain-based features, along with gradient boosting, can extract chatter features in the presence of an extraneous noisy signal.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48803,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Research","volume":"12 4","pages":"Pages 950-962"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76921587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional rigid wind turbine blades are unable to control the flow of air over their surfaces, resulting in higher loads and lower aerodynamic efficiency at non-optimal wind speeds and angles of attack. This paper presents the design of SCAMORSA-1 (“Sliding CAmber- MORphing Skin Action”), a camber-morphing turbine blade in a small scale Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) for increased aerodynamic efficiency and improved extreme load alleviation. The blade is linearly tapered and comprises three sections: a conventional rigid section, a morphing section, and a fixed blade tip, all covered by functionally graded composite skin. Measured from the root, the rigid section spans 0%-60% of the total blade length and its profile transitions at 20% from SD7062 thick airfoil to the thinner SD7037 airfoil. The rigid section includes carbon fiber composite spars that resist flap-wise bending. The morphing section occupies the next 30% of the span with SD2030 airfoil profile and can seamlessly change camber angle up to 10°. This section is composed of three hybrid ribs connected via two leading-edge composite spars and a trailing-edge synchronizing rod. Each hybrid rib has a solid leading-edge segment connected to a flexible trailing-edge segment via T-slots. The trailing-edge segment, where morphing occurs, is an enhanced version of the corrugated FishBAC design, with hexagonal honeycomb infill that increases the out-of-plane stiffness and allows for morphing deformation without internal buckling. Two of these hybrid ribs have servomotors housed in the leading-edge segment. These integrated actuators in the hybrid ribs actuate flexible carbon fiber ribbons that run through slits in the trailing-edge segment to morph it. At the trailing-edge portion of the morphing section, the composite skin transitions to a thin flexible layer that can slide over the deforming trailing-edge segment via skin sliders. Computational simulations were performed to quantify the performance gains and ensure safe operation of all components. A proof-of-concept model of SCAMORSA-1’s morphing section was manufactured and tested to demonstrate the effectiveness of the design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48803,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Research","volume":"12 4","pages":"Pages 931-940"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140774437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, the centrally managed resource allocation for network slicers presents difficulties, particularly as the quantity of User Equipment (UEs) increases. This puts pressure on Radio Resource Management (RRM) and makes slice customization more difficult. In order to address these issues, this study presents an organizational radio resource distribution architecture in which the neighborhood radio resource managers (LRRMs) receive sub channel allocations from the RRM in slices, and the LRRMs then distribute the assigned capabilities to the corresponding UEs. The suggested model, which runs in MATLAB, uses an original method called CNN-Game Theory to achieve an exceptional 98 % accuracy, outperforming CNN-LSTM, RNN, DeepCog, and DHOA by 29.27 %. This method combines ideas from game theory with neural network weight optimization to produce an improved model with increased efficiency and accuracy.

Despite the mild energy disaster and extreme environmental regulations, Diesel engines pose a vital option for automobile vehicles. However, the increased Diesel emissions and the higher labor cost associated to cut down the same make the Bio-diesels blended with N-butanol a better option to resolve the fossil gasoline problems in the future. Hence, the present study highlights the performance and emission measures of a 4-stroke Compression Ignition (CI) engine using N-butanol additive (solvent) with Palm Bio-diesel. Experiments are conducted (i) with only Diesel (ii) with Palm Bio-diesel (in percentages of 10, 15, and 20) mixed with Diesel, and (iii) with N-butanol additive (considered 10% only) to the mixture of Palm Bio-diesel (in percentages of 10, 15, and 20) and Diesel. Experimental analyses are carried out in the same engine using an eddy current dynamometer. The effect of various performance parameters like Brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), Brake thermal efficiency (BTE), Brake specific energy consumption (BSEC), and Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) on the engine load (varying between 0 and 16 N) is evaluated. On the other hand, different regulated emission measures like Smoke opacity, Nitrogen Oxide (NO<sub>x</sub>), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>), and Hydrocarbons (HC) are also evaluated at the same engine loads. The idea is to identify the feasibility and potential benefits of these biofuel blends in the CI engine. Adding 10% N-butanol to Bio-diesel, the HC, CO<sub>2</sub>, CO, and smoke opacity are reduced to a greater extent. The NO<sub>x</sub> emissions are also controlled to a larger extent using N-butanol.

Using the proposed framework, the overall efficiency value has been calculated in two cases using DEA and the bootstrap model. In addition, the efficiency of the stage is calculated separately. Based on the calculated results, if a DMU is considered efficient, its efficiency score is equal to 1 in each of the stages. Otherwise, the cause of the inefficiency of each DMU is identified.

Researchers are exploring innovative approaches to mitigate the carbon footprint and enhance the durability of concrete.

The experimental investigation and optimization of eco-concrete composites by integrating sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA), metakaolin (MK), and crumb rubber (CR) are cutting-edge research areas that aim to develop environmentally friendly and high-performance concrete materials. The present research work has attempted to utilize SCBA up to 15% by weight of cement with an increment of 5%, MK as a fractional exchange of cement up to 15% with 5% intervals, and CR was utilized as fractional volumetric substitution of sand from 0% to 15% in concrete. Different sets of combinations were evaluated to identify effects on density, workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and microstructural properties. This study has obtained satisfactory results when compared to the control concrete for 10% substitution of cement with MK and 10% substitution of cement with SCBA, along with a 10% replacement of fine aggregate (i.e., sand) with CR.
