Abstract The manuscript deals with the critical review for cooling of discrete heated electronic components using liquid jet impingement. Cooling of electronic components has been a lead area of research in recent years. Due to the rapid growth of electronic industries, there is an enormous rise in the system power consumption, and the reduction in the size of electronic components has led to a rapid increase in the heat dissipation rate per unit volume of components. The present paper deals with the role of liquid jet impingement (heat flux removal rate 200 - 600 W/cm²) for cooling… More >

Abstract Commonsense reasoning plays a pivotal role in the development of intelligent systems for decisionmaking, system analysis, control and other applications. As Prof. L. Zadeh mentions a kernel of the theory of commonsense is the concept of usuality. Zadeh suggested main principles of the theory of usuality, unfortunately up to present day; a fundamental and systemic approach to reasoning with usual knowledge is not developed.
In this study, we develop a new approach to calculus of usual numbers (U-numbers). We consider a U-number as a Z-number, where the second component is “usually”. Validity of the suggested approach More >

Abstract This paper presents the fault diagnosis of face milling tool based on machine learning approach. While machining, spindle vibration signals in feed direction under healthy and faulty conditions of the milling tool are acquired. A set of discrete wavelet features is extracted from the vibration signals using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) technique. The decision tree technique is used to select significant features out of all extracted wavelet features. C-support vector classification (C-SVC) and ν-support vector classification (ν-SVC) models with different kernel functions of support vector machine (SVM) are used to study and classify the tool More >

Abstract The paper deals with a development of the discrete-analytical method for the solution of the dynamical problems of a hollow sphere with inhomogeneous initial stresses. The examinations are made with respect to the problem on the natural vibration of the hollow sphere the initial stresses in which is caused by internal and external uniformly distributed pressure. The initial stresses in the sphere are determined within the scope of the exact equations of elastostatics. It is assumed that after appearing this static initial stresses the sphere gets a dynamical excitation and mechanical behavior of the sphere… More >

Abstract Image hashing is a useful multimedia technology for many applications, such as image authentication, image retrieval, image copy detection and image forensics. In this paper, we propose a robust image hashing based on random Gabor filtering and discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Specifically, robust and secure image features are first extracted from the normalized image by Gabor filtering and a chaotic map called Skew tent map, and then are compressed via a single-level 2-D DWT. Image hash is finally obtained by concatenating DWT coefficients in the LL sub-band. Many experiments with open image datasets are carried More >

Abstract In this paper, an Integrated Radial Basis Function (IRBF)-based multiscale method is used to simulate the rheological properties of dilute fibre suspensions. For the approach, a fusion of the IRBF computation scheme, the Discrete Adaptive Viscoelastic Stress Splitting (DAVSS) technique and the Fibre Configuration Field has been developed to investigate the evolution of the flow and the fibre configurations through two separate computational processes. Indeed, the flow conservation equations, which are expressed in vorticity-stream function formulation, are solved using IRBF-based numerical schemes while the evolution of fibre configuration fields governed by the Jeffery’s equation is… More >

Abstract The discrete-analytical solution method is proposed for the solution to problems related to the dynamics of the hydro-elastic system consisting of an axially-moving pre-stressed plate, compressible viscous fluid and rigid wall. The fluid flow caused by the axial movement of the plate and the pre-stresses in the plate are taken into consideration as the initial state of the system under consideration. It is assumed that the additional lineally-located time-harmonic forces act on the plate and these forces cause additional flow field in the fluid and an additional stress-strain state in the plate. The additional stress-strain… More >

Abstract Since the half of the XX century, attention was given to the instability of structures under parametric excitation, especially under periodic loads. On the other hand, the instability of bars subjected to axial loads of impulsive type has been little studied, in spite of the practical importance of the topic. Thus, in Engineering Design it is frequently supposed, without tests or additional verifications, that an axial load of short duration can exceed the Euler critical load of the bar without inducing damage in the same.
Within this context, this paper proposes the use of the… More >

Abstract This work deals with the bombardment of a stream of particles possessing varying mean particle size, velocity and aspect ratio into a cell that has fixed (known) compliance characteristics. The particles are intended to penetrate the cell membrane causing zero or minimum damage and deliver foreign substances (which are attached to their surfaces) to the interior of the cell. We adopt a particle-based (discrete element method) computational model that has been recently developed by the authors to describe both the incoming stream of particles and the cell membrane. By means of parametric numerical simulations, treating… More >

Abstract Mechanical deformation of tissues in the female pelvic floor is believed to be central to understanding a number of important aspects of women’s health, particularly pelvic floor dysfunction. A 2008 study of US women reported the prevalence of pelvic floor disorders in the 20 and 39 years range as 9.7% with the prevalence increasing with age until it reaches roughly 50% in the 80 and older age group [Nygaard, Barber, Burgio, and et al (2008)]. Clinical observation indicates a strong correlation between problems such as pelvic organ prolapse/urinary incontinence and vaginal childbirth. It is thought… More >
