Analytical model for force prediction when machining metal matrix composites
(2010-09-01)
Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) offer several thermo-mechanical advantages over standard materials and alloys which make them better candidates in different applications. Their light weight, high stiffness, and strength have ...
Cooperative localization based on received signal strength in wireless sensor network
(2010-01-01)
Localization accuracy based on RSS (Received Signal Strength) is notoriously inaccurate
in the application of wireless sensor networks. RSS is subject to shadowing effects, which is signal attenuation caused by stationary ...
Study of an internal combustion engine to burn hydrogen fuel and backfire elimination using a carburetor fuel delivery method
(2010-04-01)
Hydrogen appears to be a clean and sustainable fuel for transportation vehicles, including internal combustion engine vehicles. In this research, a 1986 GMC Sierra truck with a 350CID 5.7L V8, 4 barrel carbureted Chevrolet ...
Reliability evaluation of the two bus interface controllers in the Darlington simulator
(2010-01-01)
The Darlington simulator is now two decades old and, in common with any nuclear simulator of a similar age, suffers the problem of parts aging and obsolescence. In the past, replacement parts were available from the original ...
Investigation of sustainable hydrogen production from steam biomass gasification
(2010-12-01)
Hydrogen is a by-product of the gasification process and it is environmentally friendly with respect to pollution and emission issues when it is derived from a CO2-neutral resource such as biomass. It is an energy carrier ...
Design synthesis of articulated heavy vehicles with active trailer steering systems
(2010-04-01)
A new design synthesis method for articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) with an active trailer steering (ATS) system is examined and evaluated. Due to their heavy weights, large sizes, and complex configurations, AHVs have ...
