Abstract:

This paper presents the design of high gain and bandwidth reflectarray for 5G networks operating in Millimeter-wave (mmWave) at 28GHz and 38GHz. A polymer benzocylobutene (BCB) is used as substrate material having a dielectric constant of 2.65, and low tan δ ≤ 0.0008. The unit cell is optimized to achieve full phase reflection of 334o over the operating band. Enhanced gain, wider bandwidth and full phase reflection are achieved by making air holes in the substrate. A 15×15 elements reflectarray based on the optimized unit cell is designed to enhance the gain. The reflectarray is excited through horn feed having a gain of 15dB with a  feeding distance of 165mm and 00 offsets. A gain of 23dB was observed at lower operating frequency (i.e 28GHz) and 25dB at upper operating frequency (i.e  38GHz)with a bandwidth of 2GHz  at both operating frequencies.

Abstract:

Pelton Turbine is the hydraulic turbine, type of impulse turbine. An Impulse turbine generally suitable for the low flow rate and high head. The discharge water from the nozzle impacts the bucket of the Pelton wheel to produce the hydropower. There are some reasons behind the failure of the Pelton bucket like as: silt erosion, cavitation, fatigue etc. The main reason behind the fatigue failure is the material property and stress concentrations. A high concentration of stresses occurs at the root of the bucket due to its cantilever structure each time a bucket experiences the impact of the water jet. In this work, there are two materials AISI 1020 Steel and Structural Steel have been considered for analyzing the Pelton bucket. For the 3D CAD model of Pelton bucket Solid works 14.0 and for simulation work ANSYS 15.0 software has been used. In simulation work analysis types were static structural. This paper focuses on von-mises stress, total deformation of von-mises strain to analyze the suitable material for the Pelton bucket. From the obtained results it has been observed that among both materials Structural Steel is suitable for bucket due to low-stress concentration, total deformation and strain.

Abstract:

Degradation of on-field PV modules is inevitable but a normal process; however, it is a challenging task to explore the causes behind it. Manufacturers and researchers, to know the causes of degradation, employ both destructive and non-destructive procedures. In this study, nine different PV modules from three different manufacturers have been taken and their electrical output data, over several days, has been collected. The electrical parameters of PV modules are compared with the nameplate data to analyze the average yearly degradation in the electrical performance. Moreover, using visual inspection different degradation modes are identified. Finally, it is concluded that environment is not the only factor but the material used and the processing techniques employed by manufacturers are equally responsible for degradation in the output efficiency of PV modules.

Abstract:

The limiting used of the alloys of aluminum since the formability is low at room temperature. To plan and grow more parts made of aluminum, new forming systems, for example, warm framing hydroforming and warming hydroforming processes have been explored to solve the low formability. The effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of aluminum 1100 sheet alloy is investigated at different temperature levels and strain rates using the test of uni-axial tensile. A warming forming tool for sheet metal is designed and manufactured. Four temperatures levels were used in this experiments (25 , 100  200  and 300 ). The drawing speeds that were used in these experiments were (3, 6, and 9 mm/min). Before design, the warming hydro-punch system, the analysis of this system is done in ANSYS software to choose the optimum die radius and then the results of experiments are simulated. The results of experiments showed that the appropriate hydroforming temperature and drawing speed of 1100 aluminum alloy are 300 and 3mm/min respectively. The FE simulation of strain distribution matched reasonably well with the experimental results.

Abstract:

Infrastructure advancement reflects its key role in the financial and socio-economic progression of Pakistan. Project execution and accomplishment majorly depend on the leadership competencies. The dynamics of leadership define the influence of a leader i.e. project manager in lead on his team to complete any type of project and make it a success. The objective of the study is to investigate the influence of project managers’ leadership competencies in light of theory explaining “The Competency School of Leadership” coupled with specific project types on project success outcomes for transport infrastructure projects. A structured questionnaire-based survey was conducted to collect data using purposive sampling from individuals that are currently or have been involved in recently completed projects in the transport infrastructure development of Lahore. A total of 152 useful responses were returned. Findings obtained using moderated regression analysis using Andrew Hayes ‘process’ technique suggest that leadership competence of project managers is insignificant for successful completion of the projects under a particular project type. Results suggest that the project managers in a leadership position when effectively and efficiently utilize their competencies of intellectual strength, managerial procedures and emotional balance for successful actualization of transport infrastructure projects. Moreover, it has been found that project managers in these projects exhibit efficacious leadership competencies that are substantial without regard to any project type in certain for their successful completion.

Abstract:

In this research work, we consider the mathematical model of the Timoshenko beam (TB) problem in the form of a boundary-value problem of a system of ordinary differential equations. Instead of numerical solution using finite difference and finite volume methods, an attempt is made to derive the exact analytical solutions of the model with boundary feedback for a better and explicit description of the rotation and displacement parameters of the TB structure model. The explicit analytical solutions have been successfully found for the uniform and real-time variable load cases. The rotation and displacement profiles obtained through the analytical solutions accurately picture the structure of the beam under uniform and variable loads.

AN EFFICIENT FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEME FOR THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF TIMOSHENKO BEAM MODEL

Abstract:

We propose and implement a finite difference scheme for the numerical solution of the Timoshenko beam model without locking phenomenon. The averaging concept is used in approximating the function, and thus developing the scheme for elements. Finally, the system is discretized into the algebraic system using the proposed scheme and the numerical solution is attained. The numerical solutions are attained for a constant load and a variable load comprising linear and exponential functions. The mathematical model of the Timoshenko beam (TB) problem in the form of a boundary-value problem has been solved successfully for the rotation and displacement parameters. The results agree with other schemes in the literature for various values of the parameter and step size.
