Effect of Notch on Low Cycle Fatigue of AA 2024-T351
Abstract: Notch effect on low cycle fatigue of AA 2024-T351 was investigated. Decreasing notch curvature leads to less cyclic hardening. Values of fatigue strength exponent (b) and fatigue ductility (c) for notch specimens were out of range of metallic materials. The SEM examination showed multi-crack origins with secondary cracks and a large final-fracture zone for unnotched specimens, while there was small final fracture zone close to the center of the specimen …

A IoT-Enabled Predictive Intelligence for Real-Time Failure and Damage Evolution Monitoring of Polymer Composites
Abstract: Damage assessment of carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer composites is still challenging since the damage occurs as a combination of matrix cracking, interfacial debonding, delamination and fibre fracture. The present work proposes a framework for predictive-intelligence based on IoT for multiaxial fatigue and compression-after-impact (CAI) CFRP experiments, employing publicly available acoustic-emission (AE) datasets. A causal CNN–GRU attention model is developed by integrating time-domain, spectral, wavelet, loading-history and trend features to estimate the damage …

DRIVER ANTI-SLEEP ALARMING AND PROTECTION
Abstract: Road accidents due to driver drowsiness is one of the biggest problems worldwide, which kills thousands of people every year. Fatigue slows the reaction time, reduces the concentration, and, most importantly, impairs the judgment, thus making drowsy driving as dangerous as drunk driving. To reduce such accidents, various technologies have been employed to develop driver anti-sleep devices. These include sensor-based detection, camera-based eye monitoring, EEG analysis, and real-time alert systems. …
