The existing specifications in the majority of international reinforced concrete design standards for slab punching shear capacity are based on experiments of steel reinforced slabs. For fiber-reinforced polymer concrete slabs in particular, these conventional design methods may be insufficient to effectively estimate their punching shear capacity and the interaction of many influencing variables impacting punching shear capacity. In this study, several linear regression models and machine learning algorithms, namely support vector machine (SVM) models, were applied to predict FRP slabs' punching shear capacity accurately. A dataset of 103 points was gathered from experimental studies in literature and was used to train the models. The performance of each utilized model was assessed based on coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE) of the predicted punching shear capacity. The results demonstrated that the cubic SVM model outperformed all other models used in this study, with an R2 value of 0.95, RMSE of 74.61 kN, and MAE of 49.17 kN. Then, a sensitivity study was conducted, providing valuable insights on the influence of selected variables, namely slab effective depth (d), loading area (A), slab length (L), and concrete compressive strength (fc') on the punching shear capacity of FRP slabs. The results suggested that increasing the concrete compressive strength in FRP concrete slabs is advised at high d values (d > 145 mm), as increasing the fc' is more pronounced at higher slab effective depths. Moreover, a more pronounced effect at d > 145 mm was observed. Increasing the loading area reduces the punching shear capacity to a loading area/effective depth ratio of around 400. Above the ratio 400, increasing loading area increases the punching shear capacity.","PeriodicalId":6832,"journal":{"name":"2022 Advances in Science and Engineering Technology International Conferences (ASET)","volume":"17 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89173516","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}

Its main objective is to identify and eliminate all non-value-added activities (waste). Mapping down all the steps followed in production and doing time and motion study helps us know the exact state and find out the places where we are going wrong and improve them by either reducing the wastage or eliminating it.

The development of reliable survivability models is imperative to obtain accurate estimates of aircraft losses and their cost. In this paper, such survivability models are developed based on previous simulations using historic data from similar military Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV’s), after being adjusted to the specific configuration.

The gliders currently on the market are inefficient as their energy consumption is disproportionate to their battery life requiring frequent charging. This paper presents the numerical simulation analysis for the deformation of a solar glider wing under various loads and boundary conditions using ANSYS Finite Element Analysis. This study applies the K-omega SST turbulence model in ANSYS since it is a combination of K-omega and K-epsilon. Among several airfoils the S1223 airfoil was selected as the primary airfoil for the wing design. The loads applied to the wing were tested in an interval between 5 m/s and 30 m/s, considering the maximum flow velocities. The addition of a winglet increases the deformation from 149.28 to 199.22 mm at a free flow speed of 20 m/s and a Reynolds number of 232000. The glider wing proved to be a successful balance in terms of weight and stability. The results showed a decrease in deformation at lower Reynolds numbers according to the aerodynamic analysis.","PeriodicalId":6832,"journal":{"name":"2022 Advances in Science and Engineering Technology International Conferences (ASET)","volume":"28 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83547994","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 solar collector is composed of transparent PV cells to increase the utilization factor, and the installation of a water basin contributes to the generation of freshwater while enabling the cooling of the PV panel. A case study was developed for a rural community in Sharjah to meet the demand for water and electricity. ANSYS Fluent was used to simulate the steady flow and natural convection problem within the solar chimney. A full parametric study for a conventional solar chimney power plant with integrated transparent PV was simulated to investigate the effects of various parameters on air velocity, mass flow rate, air temperature, and turbine output at 850 W/m2 solar radiation. The results showed that the chimney output and efficiency were positively related to chimney height and collector radius, but negatively related to collector height. An analysis was developed to estimate the amount of evaporated and distilled water from the water pool. The results showed that the addition of the transparent PV system and the water basin increased the utilization factor by 20 times compared to the conventional solar chimney power plant.

This means the share of renewables in the energy share mix must increase. A great method of generating renewable energy is the use of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), which generally operates on a Rankine cycle for generating energy, by concentrating sun rays using reflectors at a point, or along several points, which contain the working fluid of the cycle. The working fluid is then heated by the reflected solar energy due to solar thermal energy and is used to generate steam that is fed into the Rankine cycle to eventually generate electricity. CSP plants however are not a 100% fully renewable sources of energy as some plants substitute differences in production using fossil fuels, and some CSP plants can be combined with already existing conventional power plants. CSP also has a great advantage against other renewable sources since it can be dispatchable using a thermal storage that stores heat and allows it to keep generating electricity for some time when there is no sunlight.CSP is still relatively an expensive form of renewable energy, however in recent years its costs are steadily dropping, with investments and new projects increasing, with Spain being the country with the most CSP plants globally. Jordan has introduced a few plans for CSP plants to be built in the southern region of Jordan, given its high potential for generating electricity using this method.","PeriodicalId":6832,"journal":{"name":"2022 Advances in Science and Engineering Technology International Conferences (ASET)","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74568760","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}
