This paper employs modal-based damage detection algorithms to identify location of defects commonly found in timber and to estimate their severities. In this study, the authors propose modifications to an existing damage ...

This paper presents the design and analysis of a permanent magnet (PM) transverse flux motor with soft magnetic composite (SMC) core by applying multi-level multi-domain modeling. The design is conducted in two levels. ...

A nano- or mesoporous sponge of Au is formed when the intermetallic compound AuAl2 is de-alloyed with NaOH. The large specific surface area of the sponge, and the unique surface chemical properties of Au indicate that ...

In 2003 Niven modified Kaplan and Norton's (1992; 1993; 1996; 2000; 2004) balanced scorecard (BSC) framework, claiming that his redesigned model was more suited to nonprofit organizations than was Kaplan and Norton's. Since ...

In this paper, Petri net is applied in the description of a parameterized finite element (FE) geometric modeling, which can enable the user to implement quick and easily dimensional changes, and then invoke a repetitive ...

This paper reviews the use of Raman spectroscopy for investigations in polymer tribology, In particular, a number of studies dealing with the problem of surface plasticisation in engineering polymers have been reported and ...

Two novel expert dynamic buffer tuners/controllers, namely, the neural network controller (NNC) and the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) are proposed in this paper. They use soft computing techniques to eliminate buffer ...

Many software projects spend a significant proportion of their time developing the User interface, so any degree of automation in this area has clear benefits. Research projects to date generally take one of three approaches: ...
