the effect of a distributed patch mass on the natural frequency of vibration of a laminated rectangular plate with simply supported boundaries is investigated. the third order displacement field of a composite laminated rectangular plate is defined using the two variable refined plate theory. equations of motion of the plate are obtained with the help of calculus of variation. parametric study ...

An Automatic Vehicle Number Plate Recognition System (AVNPR) is a key research area in image processing. Various techniques are developed and tested by researchers to improve the detection recognition rate of AVNPR system but faced problems due issues such as variation format, lighting conditions, scales, colors number plates different countries or states even provinces country. Douglas Peucker...

In this paper, mini-channel type evaporator which is new in mobile air conditioning (MAC) or automotive air conditioning (AAC) systems is thermally modeled. The performance of mini-channel evaporator is also compared with the laminated evaporator which is being currently used in automotive industries. The mini-channel evaporator was constructed of two rows of parallel flow mini-channel tubes...

solar mini-dimmings can be detect in the extreme ultra-violet coronal eruptions. here, sequences of 171_a images taken by solar dynamic observatory/atmospheric imaging assembaly on 13 june 2010 are used. in this special day, both of coronal mass ejection and prominence were observed. the average velocities and accelerations of 500 mini-dimmings which were detected using on feature based classif...
