Finite Element Analysis of Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes Enabled Single Lap Joint
Abstract: This study uses finite element analysis (FEA) to examine the strength of adhesively bonded single lap joints with and without Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) added to the adhesive. Shear strength analysis is performed by applying a tensile load that generates shear stress at the overlap between the two substrates bonded with adhesive. Aluminum (Al-Al) substrates were used, and single-lap joints were prepared following ASTM standards. Specimens with identical overlap and …

Representation-Theoretic Symmetry Reduction and Fuzzy-Grey Optimization of Modular Vibration Systems
Abstract: This paper presents a representation-theoretic framework for symmetry-aware vibration control in modular structural systems. Exploiting cyclic symmetry, the mass, damping, and stiffness operators are block-diagonalised into irreducible representations, reducing the full structural dynamics to a collection of lower-dimensional modal subsystems. This decomposition provides both computational efficiency and a rigorous mathematical description of symmetry-preserving dynamic behaviour. To account for imperfections arising in practical implementations, near-symmetry defects in stiffness and damping are …

Spectral Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hypergraph Operators and Dominance Kernels for Resilient Discrete Network Design
Abstract: A new discrete-mathematical framework is developed for resilient network design on intuitionistic fuzzy hypergraphs, where uncertainty is explicitly represented through membership, non-membership, and hesitation degrees associated with both vertices and hyperedges. These three components are systematically integrated into an effective incidence operator that captures the underlying uncertain relationships within complex hypergraph structures. Based on this operator, both un-normalised and normalized Laplacian matrices are formulated to characterize the spectral properties and …

Comparative Analysis of Vertical Geometric Irregular Buildings by Fragility Curve Using Pushover Analysis
Abstract: The present work deals with the analysis of vertical geometric irregular structures, such as step buildings and setback buildings, which exhibit stiffness irregularity at different locations. These structures are analyzed using pushover analysis, a nonlinear static analysis method that provides insight into the performance of buildings under seismic loading by incrementally applying lateral forces until a target displacement is reached or the structure collapses. Stiffness irregularities in buildings can significantly …

Water Absorption and Mechanical Behaviour of Bagasse Fibre and Particle-Reinforced Hybrid Composite Materials
Abstract: This study investigates the mechanical behaviour and water absorption characteristics of bagasse fibre and groundnut shell particle (GSP)-reinforced hybrid composites using a phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin matrix. Varying weight fractions of GSP (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) were incorporated into the composites, with bagasse fibre content kept constant at 30% by weight. Tensile, flexural, and impact strengths were measured, and the water absorption behaviour was evaluated following ASTM standards.The results indicated …
