In addition, their lattice nature, contribute to anisotropic behaviour of these materials. Their characteristic, to have low ratio of shear strength to bulk strength, makes pentamodes suitable to confront a wide variety of problems in engineering (antiseismic design, aircraft structures, etc.). Several analytical methods are proposed in order to confront pentamodes metamaterials, but due to the complexity in nowadays engineering problems, a computational analysis should be proposed. In this study, a computational analysis is taking place in the case of pentamodes under quasi static conditions. The pentamodes behaviour under small and large displacements analyses for different materials and for different loading conditions have been analysed and investigated. Analytical results are also proposed and compared with those from numerical analyses. From our study it is observed that pentamodes decrease their shear and compression moduli when their height increases. In addition, the ratio of compression to shear modulus appears to coincide for the different material cases considered.","PeriodicalId":53603,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS Transactions on Applied and Theoretical Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42021764","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}

Each flow condition, moderate, and after passing through each building has its characteristics or tendencies. The aim of the study was to analyze the flow characteristics through several channel constrictions (sudden, transition, and radius) and verify the relationship between the results of laboratory tests with other research results. Understanding the flow characteristics in a narrow channel can be used to consider the design of channel engineering, especially irrigation canals. The results of the analysis show that the flow of water through the constriction undergoes a specific energy change. The maximum specific energy occurs at the sudden constriction type of 0.1339 m. The predicted results correlated moderately with experimental data from this and other studies. The application of specific energy for channel narrowing with upstream Es = downstream Es with Q = 0.0025 m3/s, then the maximum downstream water level elevation occurs in the form of a sudden narrowing of 0.1200 m. This value deviates from the results of laboratory tests with an elevation of 0.1310 m by 8%. This is due to setting and measurement errors during laboratory tests.","PeriodicalId":53603,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS Transactions on Applied and Theoretical Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47734018","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}

Incorporation of adequate ground improvement technique with the aim of upgrading the strength and stiffness of the weak soil is essential in such cases. Amongst various established methods adopted worldwide for improving soft ground, using perforated piles is a relatively emerging technique. Such piles not only transmit the structural load into the subsoil beneath in a manner similar to the conventional piles, but also assist in radial consolidation of soft soil due to perforated side walls. This paper presents a brief overview on the investigations carried out on this new technique. Also, a typical case study has been presented. As observed, the axial pile capacity progressively increased while settlement reduction took place, with accelerated radial consolidation.","PeriodicalId":53603,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS Transactions on Applied and Theoretical Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49364070","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 following are shown: a skate; an element of the program code; an algorithm for stabilizing a proportional-integral-differential controller (PID). The experimental model uses the calculation and adjustment of the regulator according to the Ziegler-Nichols method. For the case of applying the neural network approach to the search for equilibrium, the Hopfield neural network is used. The technology of calculating the balancing of the values of the coefficients: proportional, integral, differential components are described. The design of the rolling system is described. The experimental model is designed to identify the balancing range of the rolling system of small-diameter balls. The experimental module balances the ball at a distance of 4.5 to 7 cm (SW-range). The shortcomings of the experimental model of stabilization of the mechanized system are revealed. The analysis of experimental studies of spacecraft stabilization is carried out. It is determined that it is advisable to use the mathematical tools of the sixth-order Butterworth polynomial in the training of a neural network. Complex neural network calculations make it possible to calculate the stabilization coefficients of the spacecraft when the coordinate system does not coincide with the axes of inertia. An overview of the authors ' research on the use of intelligent quality control systems for the production of medicines is given. An overview of neural network solutions for stabilizing the turning angle of high-speed cars is given.

The main drawbacks of magnesium hydride are thermodynamic unfavorable and poor kinetic. Adding Nickel as a catalyst, which mainly incorporates mechanical modification (alloying or particle size reduction), can accelerate the reaction rate and decrease the enthalpy formation. It is hard to determine the catalytic of Nickel in magnesium hydride for the kinetic rate improvement. This study is focused on the observation of the effect of Nickel on magnesium hydride by using the market size availability of magnesium and nickel powder (74 μm for Mg and 63 μm for Ni). Mg and Ni are mixed by Ni variation (weight %) from 14%, 15%, and 16%. The characterization starts with initial hydrogenation and dehydrogenation, continues with activation and PCI measurement to obtain the kinetic characteristic of each sample. From this study, it is clear that the increase in nickel ratio will improve the rate of reaction for magnesium hydride, where the maximum storage for magnesium hydride is 4.2% by adding 16 wt% nickel.","PeriodicalId":53603,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS Transactions on Applied and Theoretical Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43570438","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}
