This study aims at better understanding the damage tolerance of stiffened composite panels subjected to fatigue loads in post-buckling regime. Ten single-stringer hat-stiffened specimens with an initial delamination between skin and stringer foot were manufactured, then tested under quasi-static conditions, different load levels ratios. The tests monitored digital image correlation ultrasonic s...

every year, with regard to rapid development of data, grid computing that is a kind of distributed computing system is that it has attracted the attention of most people and considerably taken into account. computing that cannot be done by huge computers can be performed by grid computing. if load balance is used, efficiency will increase in grid. resources have an important and effective role ...

reaching an electricity system which is both economically efficient and environmentally friendly is motivating countries to design and execute different types of tou demand response programs. but there are certain deficiencies which prevent these programs to effectively modify the load shape. smart grid as a means could help the electricity system to reach the highest demand side management ...

Smart grid concept is introduced to modify the power grid by utilizing new information and communication technology. Smart grid needs live power consumption monitoring to provide required services and for this issue, bi-directional communication is essential. Security and privacy are the most important requirements that should be provided in the communication. Because of the complex design of s...

In this paper, a supervisory controller is proposed to manage the power flow in a hybrid AC/DC micro-grid for both grid-connected and disconnected modes. When the hybrid AC/DC micro-grid is connected to the utility grid, power surplus or shortage leads to power trade between the micro-grid and the utility grid. In the grid-disconnected mode, the renewable power sources (wind and solar generatio...

There area lot of mobile computer devices with a variety of applications and users Tend to use them more. Due to the limitations of mobile devices, running most of the procedures are impossible. To resolve this problem, mobile devices can be connected to the grid, to use the facilities of grid. On the other hand the communication mechanisms are different for each device and they cannot be c...

An analytical form connecting the energy shift of Raman modes directly to the bonding identities (order, nature, length, energy) of a specimen and the response of the bonding identities to the applied stimuli of temperature and pressure was presented for a deeper understanding of the atomistic origin of the ZnO Raman shift. Theoretical reproduction based on the BOLS correlation theory [Sun, C. ...
