Structure Property Correlation of Polymer Dielectrics Using Electrical Response Data
Abstract: Polymer dielectrics are foundational to insulation, capacitors, embedded passives, and flexible electronics, where performance is governed by the frequency-dependent electrical response rather than a single dielectric constant. This study presents a spectroscopy-aware structure–property correlation framework that transforms dielectric response data into physically interpretable spectral fingerprints and learns mappings from polymer descriptors to these fingerprints for prediction and interpretation. Broadband spectra are standardized on a log-frequency grid and parameterized using relaxation-informed …

Thermo-Fluid Characterization of Corrugated U-Tube Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger with Polymer Composite Tube Wall: A Combined CFD and Experimental Investigation
Abstract: Shell-and-tube heat exchangers built with metallic tubes work well thermally, but corrosion problems, extra weight, and the inability to adjust the wall’s thermal properties through material choice remain genuine engineering headaches, particularly for corrosive or weight-critical applications. Over the past few years there has been a fair amount of interest in replacing metal tubes with polymer composite alternatives, since blending thermally conductive fillers — graphite nanoplatelets, boron nitride platelets and …

Thermo-hydraulic Performance of Annular-Finned Double-Pipe Heat Exchanger: Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Metallic and Polymer Composite Tube Wall Materials
Abstract: Double-pipe heat exchangers are central to the process industries — dependable, easily maintained, and straightforward to fabricate. Their conventional form relies on metallic tube materials, most often copper or stainless steel. Both metals conduct heat well, but they are dense, prone to corrosion in aggressive service environments, and increasingly at odds with the light-weighting goals that drive modern system design. Fibre-reinforced polymer composites, epoxy-based materials, and thermally enhanced thermoplastics such …

Analyzing Thermal Expansion in Polymer Composites Through Heat Transfer Simulations
Abstract: Although lightweight and strong, polymer composites require careful handling in environments where temperatures shift. Their usefulness in fields like aviation, vehicle manufacturing, and electronic devices comes from customizable heat behavior alongside favorable mechanical traits. Yet variation in size due to heating or cooling remains a concern hard to dismiss. As conditions change, expansion occurs - sometimes enough to disrupt fit, alignment, or function within complex systems. This response to warmth …

A Smart Framework that Combines Data Mining and Optimization for Different Applications
Abstract: Blending predictive data mining with metaheuristic optimization has become essential for tackling tough, real-world problems across all kinds of fields. Most existing methods stick to fixed algorithms, each focused on a tiny slice of the puzzle, barely budging when new variables or unpredictability show up—especially with messy, human-generated data. So, here’s the idea: a Unified Metaheuristic and Predictive Data Mining (UMPDM) framework that finally connects adaptive search methods with powerful …

Harmonic Analysis of Arterial Blood Pressure Signal Using Fourier Decomposition for Autonomic Health Assessment
Abstract: AbstractIn the present study, the arterial blood pressure waveform is decomposed utilizing Fourier to examine the fundamental frequency and to build up a linkage for autonomic health assessment. This methodology will produce practically identical fundamental frequency, either utilizing noninvasively recorded photoplethysmogram (PPG) or the blood pressure signal. In order to normalize the both, signal PPG waveform is approximated to arterial blood pressure waveform by nonlinear fitting blood pressure values to …

Deploying Optimal Number of Sensors and Damage Detection in Structural Health Monitoring Using SEM-GA Method
Abstract: Detecting damages is the most important criterion in any engineering creation—be it a machine or a building. Among the engineering creation, civil engineering structures need a continuous monitoring to check their operations, performance and the health status of the structures. Damage detection cannot be done manually every time. Automated systems have to be developed in order to monitor the health of the structure periodically. Hence, structural health monitoring (SHM) aims …
