Solar Panel Maintenance and Prevention System
Abstract: Solar energy has emerged as a sustainable and efficient alternative to conventional energy sources. However, maintaining solar panels is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Accumulation of dust, dirt, and environmental debris can significantly reduce energy efficiency, leading to increased operational costs and potential system failures. To overcome this issue, we suggest an IoT- based Solar Panel Maintenance and Prevention System that facilitates automated cleaning and preventive maintenance via …

Landmine Detection Robot with Live Surveillance
Abstract: Abstract Nowadays in war-torn communities around the world, landmines are causing immense civilian casualties. A land mine is an explosive device, which is meant to destroy or disable enemy and buried under or on the ground, especially in the mined countries like Afghanistan and Iraq. Accordingly, the majority of land mines are located under the ground surface and are triggered by pressure or tripwire. Mostly the surface of the landmines …

Smart and adaptive cutting-edge IoT based implementation for remote environments
Abstract: In remote, mountainous, or snow-covered regions, mobile networks and GPS signals usually become unreliable, which creates major challenges for search and rescue (SAR) operations. To overcome the issue, this paper presents a compact, low-power, voice-activated wearable device that integrates LoRa communication with a TinyML-based keyword detection system. The proposed device enables individuals to send signals in areas where GPS coverage is unavailable. Using the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), the …

Impact of Fracture in Geometrical, Material, and Load Rate Characteristics on J-Integral
Abstract: The present study investigates the influence of load rate, geometrical parameters, and material properties on the J-integral behavior of AA2050-T84 aluminum-lithium alloy using three-dimensional elastic–plastic fracture mechanics (EPFM) analysis. Finite element simulations were carried out using the ABAQUS software to evaluate crack driving forces in compact tension (C(T)) specimens under various mechanical and thermal conditions. The study focuses on the combined effects of strain rate, temperature-dependent strain hardening, specimen thickness …

Quick Reach Alert System
Abstract: This project presents the design and implementation of a compact and low-cost GPS tracking system using the A9G module. The system is capable of tracking real-time location, sending emergency alerts, and providing audio surveillance. It includes an SOS button that, when pressed, immediately sends the user’s current GPS location via SMS to a predefined phone number. Additionally, the system allows remote audio monitoring through a microphone connected to the A9G …
