BUCKLING ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE CYLINDRICAL SHELL STRUCTURE USING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Abstract: When designing cylindrical shells one should consider not only the strength problem in service, but also the buckling problem. Cylindrical shells such as thin-walled structures are susceptible to buckling when subjected to static and dynamic stresses. The vessels are exposed to dynamic sea conditions depending on their usage. The functional failure of a pressurized composite vessel or a composite pipe in the form of leakage or weeping of the contained …

Design And Validation of High Efficiency Of 10T Sram with High Recoverability Of Multi Node Soft Error
Abstract: Sensitive nodes' critical charge is decreasing, which increases the soft-error vulnerability of SRAM cells used in aerospace applications. A single event upset (SEU) occurs when a radiation particle hits a sensitive node in a typical 6T SRAM cell, flipping the data that has been stored in the cell. Consequently, a Soft-Error-Aware Read-Stability-Enhanced Low Power 10T (SARP10T) SRAM cell is suggested in this project to reduce SEUs. The quadro cell exhibits …

Performance of Offshore Steel Jacket Platforms under Near-source Ground Motion Type Pulses
Abstract: Behaviour of jacket type offshore structures under ordinary ground excitations has already been addressed by a number of researchers. However, their performance under near-source ground excitations has not been particularly addressed in the literature. Records from recent earthquakes, such as the Kobe Japan (1995) and Chi-Chi Taiwan (1999), have revealed that the dynamic excitations in near-source are dominated by a large, narrow band and long period pulse caused by rupture …

Power and Congestion Control for M.A.N.E.T using Cross-Layer Design for Future Technology
Abstract: AbstractRouting in M.A.N.E.T is challenging due to its navigation feature. The main causes of link failure are mobility, interference, and congestion. Mobility means that each node is free to move within its transport range. Interference occurs due to collision and hidden node. A hidden node means two nodes outside the radio range of each, simultaneously try to transfer data to an intermediate node, which lies in the radio range of …

Review Paper on Issues of AODV and Study of Cross Layer Design in MANET
Abstract: Routing in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is challenging due to its mobility feature. The main reasons of link failures are mobility, interference and congestion. Mobility means, each node is free to move within its transmission range. Interference occurs due to collision and hidden nodes. Signal strength is considered as cross layer interaction parameter for implementing cross layer design (CLD). Received signal strength is taken from physical layer and is …

Wire Network Survivability for Upgraded Consistency in Smart Power Grids
Abstract: Power transmission system infrastructures transmit energy over a long distance and are essential to the operation of urban society. These configurations progressively reflect highly coupled cyber-physical structures where automated telecommunications networks are used to transmit status and control details to power transmission grid elements, i.e. smart grids. However, due to the high degree of interdependence between the contact and power grid layers, malfunction incidents may contribute to more loss of …

A Resource Efficient Fast Recovery Strategy for Survivable WDM Networks
Abstract: ABSTRACT In WDM networks when failure occurs, huge amount of data is lost in a fraction of second. Therefore, the failed connection request must be re-routed through backup route as soon as possible. For achieving fast connection recovery, the primary lightpath is either link or segmented protected. However, the strategies result in inefficient utilization of resources. In this paper, we present a resource efficient parallel signaling-shared path protection (PS-SPP) based …
