watermelon is handled and stored in bulk package as some other fruits and vegetables are. package height must be so appropriately selected that bottom fruit layers will receive no damage or failure. this research was performed to determine and compare the mechanical properties of two varieties in three sizes of watermelon under static load conditions to obtain parameters used in transportation ...

Load balancing is one of the best efficient methods for performance improvement of cluster system. Recently, WLC algorithm is used for the load balancing of cluster system. But, the algorithm also has load imbalance between servers, because it uses inaccurate static load status of servers. In this paper, I suggest a more efficient dynamic load balancing algorithm base on various load status inf...

Equivalent Static Wind Loads (ESWL) are desired in structural design to consider peak dynamic wind effects. Conventional ESWLs for structures without control. For flexible with vibration control devices, the investigation of ESWL is required. Inerter-based Vibration Absorbers (IVAs), due light weight and high performance, gained much research attention recently. This paper established a generic...

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the compression behavior of shape memory alloy hybrid composites (SMAHC) subjected to quasi-static loading taking into account of rotation effects of shape memory wire in basalt continuous filament (BCF) direct roving epoxy composite. Two types of specimen prepared, the BCF direct roving reinforced epoxy composite filled with shape memory w...
