Design, Modeling and Simulation of a 2-DOF Microgripper using Piezoelectric Actuator
Abstract: Aiming at the micro-assembly and micromanipulation of micro structures, a monolithic compliant-flexure based microgripper is introduced. This paper presents the design, modeling and simulation of a 2 DOF monolithic microgripper. In the proposed microgripper 2 piezoelectric stack actuators are used to obtain the tip displacement and the gripping force.

Behaviour of Staggered Opening Shear wall in Tall buildings
Abstract: Now a days we are seeing a rapidly increasing the cost of land not only in India even all over the world and also we need to preserve our important agricultural productive land too. All contributed towards both residential and commercial structures growth in vertical direction that is high rise structure. Behavior of these high rise structures especially with shear walls during hazards like earthquake, wind and lateral loads due …

Literature Review on Lateral Load Resisting Systems Diagrid, Hexagrid, Pentagrid and Octagrid Structures
Abstract: The concept of high rise building is not new, at least for the last few decades we are building higher and faster into the skyline. The high rise buildings are prone to high lateral loads in the form of wind and seismic loads. These loads become more critical with the increase in height of the structure, to tackle these lateral forces, lateral load resisting systems are developed consisting of not …

Vibrational Wind Turbine Design
Abstract: This work focuses on the study and analysis of bladeless wind turbines (BWT) as an alternative to operating vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) and horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT). A mathematical analysis of the BWT oscillation under wind force allows the development of specific mathematical expressions for the oscillation speed and BWT mast displacement at any height. The oscillation movement is submitted to a Strouhal constant number condition, resulting in an algorithm …

Simplified Solution to Analysis Risk Assessment of Reinforcement type Soil Wall Considering Seismic Waves with Uniform Surcharge
Abstract: Due to failure of reinforced soil wall in various country the various risk factor are associated to these failure. In the present pseudo-static analysis some risk factor analysis have been done by considering the seismic waves with uniform surcharge and also consider surcharge’s inertial behavior at risk factor of horizontal and vertical coefficients of accelerations at kh = 0.24, 0.36 and kv = 0.12, 0.18 taking into account. The earlier …

Pseudo-Static Limit Equilibrium Method for Bearing Capacity of Footing on Slope and Seismic Uplift Capacity of Horizontal Strip Anchor
Abstract: Seismic bearing capacity for a shallow strip footing embedded in a sloping ground is derived along with seismic uplift capacity of horizontal strip anchors. c-ϕ soil medium is used with limit equilibrium method of analysis. A planar failure mechanism has been adopted. The seismic bearing capacity is determined in the form of a single pseudo-static bearing capacity coefficient (Nγe) in association with unit weight, surcharge and cohesion, which becomes more …

Analysis of Steel Chip Fiber Reinforced Composite Dual Pile Under Lateral Load Conditions on Sloping Terrain
Abstract: Pile foundations, in addition to supporting vertical loads from superstructures, are subjected to lateral stresses arising from seismic activities, wind gusts, water currents, and traffic impacts etc. Failure to account for these lateral forces can pose significant risks if the structure is expected to encounter any form of lateral pressure. Previous research has investigated the behavior of individual composite piles under horizontal forces, considering different soil properties, to determine the …

FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE WITH CARDAN SUSPENSION
Abstract: This paper describes a new structural design for a vertical axis floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT). The wind turbine consists of bowl-shaped blades set arranged circularly around a vertical axis on which they rotate due to the wind effect. A cardan mechanism supports the set and maintains the wind turbine in horizontal position despite the wave movement. The proposed wind turbine increases the power generation by 10% for a maximum …

Analysis of Tall Structures for Different Stiffness Ratios of Columns to Shear Walls and Column Shortening
Abstract: Differential axial shortening in a structure causes axial force redistribution among columns and walls, and introduces additional forces in the horizontal members such as beams and slab. Hence, it needs to be considered in the design, especially for medium to high-rise buildings. The best way to illustrate differential column shortening is to conduct floor-by-floor analysis, generally known as construction sequence analysis. Commercial software ETABS is available for conducting sequential analysis. …

Water/Oil Cresting Optimization in Horizontal Wells: Experimental Study
Abstract: In recent years, the application of horizontal wells has been predominant and successful in minimizing cresting scenarios due to significant reservoir exposure of its laterals. Cresting is a natural phenomenon known to occur when an imbalance of viscous and gravitational forces exists in a reservoir. This study experimentally investigates the effect of varying the inclined section of the horizontal well using a simple, practical and inexpensive cresting optimization technique. The …

The Onset of Rayleigh-Bénard-Marangoni Convection in a Ferromagnetic Fluid Layer
Abstract: This study examined the implications of magnetic boundary conditions, which are vertical in nature, on buoyancy and surface tension–driven ferrothermal convection (FTC) in a ferrofluid layer. While the upper surface is stress-free and susceptible to general thermal boundary issues, the bottom surface is stiff and insulating against temperature changes. The eigenvalue issue is solved analytically using the regular perturbation method and numerically using the Galerkin technique. According to analysis, raising …

Response Spectrum Analysis of RC Buildings Constructed on Plain and Sloping Ground with Different Configuration of Shear Walls
Abstract: Abstract Buildings constructed on slopes are different from those in plains. They may be irregular and unsymmetrical in horizontal and vertical planes, and torsionally coupled. Hence, they are susceptible to severe damage when affected by earthquake ground motion. We can’t avoid the future earthquakes but the preparedness and safe building construction practices for earthquakes can certainly reduces the extent of damage and loss of both property and life. Shear wall …

Influence of Horizontal Crossflow on the Rayleigh-Taylor Instability: A Numerical Approach
Abstract: Rayleigh-Taylor Instability (RTI) is a typical occurrence in natural events, engineering, and industrial applications. When the lighter fluid (bottom medium) is forcing the heavier fluid (top medium) on top of the lighter fluid because of a gravitational field, then that phenomenon is called Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI). Despite extensive records of investigating this common phenomenon i.e., RTI with several unique boundary conditions, apparently, there are no prior investigations for the RTI …
