Modeling and Analysis of a Diaphragm Micropump with Annular Actuation Using Bond Graphs
Abstract: Micropumps have been around for a while and are utilized for many things, including electrical cooling and biomedical applications. Numerous researchers have experimented with varying the chamber, diaphragm, pumping mechanism, or actuation mechanism materials to improve the device's performance. Despite this, the micropumps employed in the practical applications mentioned above fall short of meeting the necessary flow rates and pressure. In this study, annular actuation is proposed to enhance performance. …

Mechanical and Thermal Performance of PETG Composites Reinforced with Short Carbon Fibers via Fused Filament Fabrication
Abstract: The study investigates the fabrication and characterization of polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) composites reinforced with short carbon fibers (CF) using the fused filament fabrication (FFF) technique. Composite filaments with varying CF weight fractions (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) were produced and evaluated for their mechanical, thermal, and morphological performance. The influence of CF reinforcement on tensile, flexural, and impact behavior was systematically examined, alongside thermal stability metrics including …

Comparative Analysis of Pond Ash as a Partial Replacement of Sand as Subbase Material for Concrete Paver Block Hardstand sustaining storage of Bulk Cargo
Abstract: This work presents an industrial waste-derived subbase material that can take the place of conventional granular material for subbase in hardstand foundation construction. This industrial waste hugely deposited in the ash lagoons namely Pond Ash (PA) which is globally generated at an amount of 780 Metric Tons from thermal power plants annually ,as foundation material for hardstand construction, will not only help the cause of residual waste disposal problems but …

Analysis of Simply Supported and Clamped-Clamped Beam Resting on a Pasternak Foundation Subjected to Moving Load with a Damping Term
Abstract: A comparative analysis of simply supported and clamped-clamped Bernoulli-Euler beams resting on a Pasternak foundation under the action of a concentrated moving load with a damping term, when the inertia effect of the moving load is considered in its analysis, was investigated in this study. The governing equation was solved by representing the Dirac delta function through a Fourier cosine series and applying a combination of analytical techniques, including the …

Mechanical Characteristic Analysis of Five-Layer Carbon-Carbon Composite Material
Abstract: The current study investigates the fabrication and mechanical strength of five-layer carbon-carbon composite. The strong five-layer carbon-carbon composite material with high strength and modulus is made of a raw material called precursors. The polyacrylonitrile (PAN) method is used in the fabrication of carbon fiber. The characteristics of the resulting carbon material depend on the composition and structure of the precursor. A sheet of 50 x 40 cm five-layer carbon-carbon composite …

Behavior of SFRC composite pile resting on sloping ground of cohesive and non-cohesive strata
Abstract: Reinforced concrete piles are increasingly being utilized in situations where there is a need to transfer loads in deep strata, particularly for infrastructure projects built on sloping grounds. The present study comprises a finite element analysis (FEA) to investigate the lateral load-bearing capacity of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) pile, embedded in sloping grounds with sandy and clayey soils. The lateral load capacity of the steel fiber reinforced concrete pile …

Structural Assessment of Rigid Pavement Systems Under Heavy Loading Conditions
Abstract: This study presents an analysis of pavement and foundation layer design subjected to heavy vertical loads and upward soil pressure. A total load of 1716 tonnes transmitted from the superstructure is considered acting on the pavement system. Due to upward soil pressure, tensile stresses develop in the foundation layers, requiring adequate thickness of sand and aggregate layers to ensure structural stability. Based on the tensile strength of sand (2 N/mm²), …
