Spinnable carbon nanotubes enable us to produce nanotube assemblies such as yarn and sheet without binder. Untwisted is one of the assemblies. yarns are composed unidirectionally aligned along with axis, thus untwisted an ideal preform for composite fabrication high mechanical performance. In this study, varied densities were prepared by using spinnable forests, tensile properties examined. Fur...

This paper presents finite elements for a higher order steel–concrete composite beam model developed the analysis of bridge decks. The accounts slab–girder partial interaction, overall shear deformability, and shear-lag phenomenon in steel concrete components. theoretical derivation solving balance conditions, both weak strong form, is firstly addressed. Then, three different are proposed, whic...

Sliding Mode Control (SMC) in the presence of small, unavoidable input delay as may be present in controller implementation is studied. Linear systems with bounded matched disturbances and uncertain systemmatrices are considered,where input delay in the SMCwill produce oscillations or potentially even unbounded solutions.Without a priori knowledge of the bounds on the state-dependent terms as r...

We recently introduced a design methodology for the stabilization of nonlinear systems with input and state delays that depend on the current state of the plant. In the present paper we consider nonlinear horizon and the delay depend on the state of the plant, the key design challenges are how to compute the predictor state and the delay (since the delay needs to be available in order to comput...

ÐThis paper presents a design methodology for high-speed Booth encoded parallel multiplier. For partial product generation, we propose a new modified Booth encoding (MBE) scheme to improve the performance of traditional MBE schemes. For final addition, a new algorithm is developed to construct multiple-level conditional-sum adder (MLCSMA). The proposed algorithm can optimize final adder accordi...

An analysis was performed to determine the error that results from the estimation of the wall shear rates based on linear and quadratic curve-fittings of the measured velocity profiles. For steady, fully developed flow in a straight vessel, the error for the linear method is linearly related to the distance between the probe and the wall, dr1, and the error for the quadratic method is zero. Wit...

In open channel, canals and rivers, a rapid increase in flow depth will induce a positive surge, also called bore or compression wave. The positive surge is a translating hydraulic jump. Herein new experiments were conducted in a large-size rectangular channel to characterise the unsteady turbulent properties, including the coupling between free-surface and velocity fluctuations. Experiments we...
