Evaluating Diagrid Systems: A Modern Approach to Lateral Load Resistance Across Varied Building Heights
Abstract: Modern architectural design and engineering often incorporate advanced structural systems, with diagrid structures becoming popular for high-rise buildings due to their unique geometric patterns and aesthetic appeal. Despite considerable global research on diagrids, a detailed comparative analysis of their structural efficiency remains limited. This thesis assesses the structural efficiency and seismic performance of diagrid lateral load-resisting systems. The effectiveness of diagrids was compared to conventional building designs in multi-storey buildings …

A Review on Thermal and Structural Analysis of Disc Brakes in Motor Vehicles
Abstract: Braking is a technique that turns kinetic energy in a vehicle into mechanical energy that must be dissipated as heat. The frictional heat created at the disc-pad interface can cause high temperatures during the braking period. Thermal elastic instability (TEI), early wear, brake fluid vaporisation (BFV), and thermally stimulated vibrations can all be caused by frictional heat created on the rotor surface (TEV). In this research, a vehicle's solid type …

CBCT: A Boon in Periodontics – A Review
Abstract: Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease that can be diagnosed mainly based on clinical signs and symptoms. Two-dimensional radiographs are valuable diagnostic tools as an adjunct to the clinical examination in assessing periodontal bone level. Two-dimensional images do not provide accurate bone levels due to its limitations like projection geometry, superimposition of adjacent anatomic structures, leading to the need for three-dimensional imaging that overcomes these limitations. The diagnosis and treatment …

Brain Abscess Originating From Odontogenic Infection: Rare But Life Threatening Sequelae of Dental Origin
Abstract: Archeological excavations have revealed that the cause of the several deaths of the pharaohs of Egypt was brain abscess originating from foci of dental infection. Effective drug treatment and medical regimens for the treatment of brain abscess were unavailable, until the age of modern antibiotics and advanced surgical techniques. Infective process of any origination in the brain may lead to a suppurative abscess that walls itself off (i.e., encapsulates preventing …

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 …

A Review on Solar Multilevel Inverter for the Production of Free Energy Due to the Structure with Long-life Feature
Abstract: Multilevel inverters play a major role in medium voltage, high power and renewable applications. It is also used in certain applications where high switching frequency, and high output voltage gain are required. The switching transient period of a MOSFET should be minimal because a high dv/dt rate could result in permanent damage to the MOSFET. The harmonics present could cause many problems and so it has to be minimized. The …
