in this paper, we investigated the necessity and effects of optimal control methods in the stability and performance of a micro-grid that operates in islanded mode. the micro-gird is consisted of a combine heat and power (chp), a capacitor bank (cb), photovoltaic panel (pv) as power generation sources. in addition, battery and the building electricity and thermal load are placed on the load sid...

modeling and wrench feasible workspace analysis of a spatial cable suspended robots is presented. a six-cable spatial cable robot is used the same as stewart robots. due to slow motion of the robot we suppose the motion as pseudostatic and kinetostatic modeling is performed. various workspaces are defined and the results of simulation are presented on the basis of various workspaces and applied...

A new vibration scheme is shown to provide localized vibration fields for three-dimensional sonoelastography imaging. The theoretical vibration distributions of double strip loads vibrating normally to the surface of a semi-infinite elastic space are calculated. A localization or focusing of shear waves inbetween the double-strip loads is predicted. Experimentally, two parallel rigid rectangula...

Nanocomposites provide new properties and exploit unique synergism between materials. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is an ideal piezoelectric matrix applicable in nanocomposites in a broad range of industries from oil and gas to electronics and automotive. And boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) show high mechanical, electrical and chemical properties. In this paper, the critical torsional load of...

Article history: Received: 30.5.2015. Received in revised form: 19.12.2015. Accepted: 20.12.2015. Non-destructive testing for rock bolts in this study considers loads typical of anchors in practical engineering. The non-destructive testing experiment has been conducted for bolts under various load levels with variation characteristics of the dynamic testing signal and analyzed based on the stre...
