High-velocity impact properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes/E-glass fiber/epoxy anisogrid composite panels

This work reports the high-velocity impact response of multiscale anisogrid composite (AGC) panels. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the influence of surface-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (S-MWCNTs) at different S-MWCNTs contents (0-0.5 wt.% at an interval of 0.1 wt.%) on the high-velocity impact responses of E-glass/epoxy AGC. Surface modification of MWCNTs is confirmed by ...

Research on Electric Drive for Small Vehicles

This paper presents an electric drive system whose motor is connected to a battery by means of a buck DC/DC converter. This motor is further connected to an ultracapacitor by means of a boost DC/DC converter. First, operation and break processes are studied when the converters are switched off as well as when they are switched on in current limitation mode. Then, a comparative analysis of the r...

A Novel Approach to Design the Dual Rotor Switched Reluctance Motor Based Electric Vehicles

Electric and hybrid electric vehicles are attractive candidates for sustainable transportation due to its higher efficiency and low emission. The critical choice on the electric motors is its capability of motoring and regenerative braking characteristics. Switched reluctance machines are viable candidate as with proper control and extended constant power range operation replacing the multi-gea...

Fiber- Reinforced Composite for Orthodontic Anchorage Technique

Introduction: In orthodontic treatment, adequate anchorage is necessary to move the intended teeth. In some cases, just anterior teeth are malaligned, while posterior occlusion is acceptable. Therefore, the posterior teeth could be integrated by fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) to provide a rigid anchorage. This method proved advantageous since brackets are bonded just to anter...
