Semiring-Weighted Automata and Recursive Path Counting for Multi-State Reliability in Discrete Infrastructures
Abstract: Multi-state infrastructures such as communication backbones, microgrids, warehouse routing systems, and sensor-actuator pipelines evolve through discrete event sequences rather than through a single binary "working/failed" transition. This paper develops a semiring-weighted automata framework for reliability analysis in which state changes, repair actions, and degraded operating modes are represented by weighted transitions on a finite automaton. A path valuation is defined over an additively idempotent reliability semiring and extended to a …

Effect of Sinusoidal and Inverse sinusoidal Load on the Vibration and Buckling Behaviour of Laminated Composite Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Trapezoidal Panels
Abstract: Using finite element (FE) techniques, this work analyzes the influence of sinusoidal and invers sinusoidal stresses on the buckling behavior of trapezoidal laminated composite panels (also known as trapezoidal laminated composite panels). The discretization of the composite panel is accomplished by the use of an eight-noded iso-parametric plate element, which has five degrees of freedom for each node. Due to the incorporation of Higher Order Shear Deformation Theory (HOSDT) into …

APPLICATION OF AGRO BASED RESUIDALS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SURACTANT ON IOR USING MICROBES
Abstract: Utilization of surfactants for IOR is an accepted technique with high potential. However, technology application is frequently limited by cost. Biosurfactants (surface-active molecules produced by microorganisms) are commonly used in specialty markets such as food and textiles and have potential for IOR application. Currently, biosurfactants are not widely utilized in the petroleum industry due to high production costs associated with use of expensive substrates and inefficient product recovery methods. The …
