A Critical Review of the Limitations of the Arithmetic Mean and the Robustness of the Median in Statistical Analysis
Abstract: Arithmetic mean is an extremely popular measure of central tendency used in statistical analyses, primarily because it is so easy to calculate and has many positive mathematical characteristics. However, when there are outliers, skewed distributions or heterogeneous spread of data, the reliability of the arithmetic mean diminishes greatly. This paper includes a critical review of the limitations of the arithmetic mean and an assessment of the robustness of the median …

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 …

Design and Development of Experimental Test Rig for Fatigue Life Estimation of Freewheel One-Way Clutch Used in Switchgear Applications at High Overrunning Speeds
Abstract: Freewheel one-way clutch (OWC) is a critical component used in industrial circuit breakers/switchgear to facilitate quick disengagement of the drive when an electrical circuit trips under overcurrent. The clutch acts as a safety device to endure high overrunning speeds and allows the drive shaft to rotate at normal operating speeds during each tripping cycle. The trip mechanism utilizes the stored potential energy of the helical compression spring, which is the …
