The effect of discrete roughness elements on the development and breakdown stationary crossflow instability a swept wing is explored. Receptivity to various element heights chordwise locations explored using combination experimental theoretical tools. Forcing configurations, determined based linear stability predictions, are manufactured applied in low turbulence facility. Measurements performe...

in this paper, a fault diagnosis system based on discrete wavelet transform (dwt) and artificial neural networks (anns) is designed to diagnose different types of fault in gears. dwt is an advanced signal-processing technique for fault detection and identification. five features of wavelet transform rms, crest factor, kurtosis, standard deviation and skewness of discrete wavelet coefficients of...

Community structure in networks is often a consequence of homophily, or assortative mixing, based on some attribute of the vertices. For example, researchers may be grouped into communities corresponding to their research topic. This is possible if vertex attributes have discrete values, but many networks exhibit assortative mixing by some continuous-valued attribute, such as age or geographica...

To realize the self-healing concept of smart grids, an accurate and reliable fault locator is a prerequisite. This paper presents a new fault location method for active power distribution networks which is based on measured voltage sag and use of whale optimization algorithm (WOA). The fault induced voltage sag depends on the fault location and resistance. Therefore, the fault location can be f...

The refugee crisis is one of the major challenges modern society. influxes refugees are usually sudden and in sheer need services such as health care, education safety. Planning public under an imminent humanitarian requires simultaneous strategic operational decisions. Inspired by a real-world problem that Red Crescent facing Southeast Turkey, we study locating camps planning transportation se...

Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) systems are one of the vibration controlled devices used to reduce the response of buildings subject to lateral loadings such as wind and earthquake loadings. Although TMDs system has received much attention from researchers due to their simplicity, the optimization of properties and placement of TMDs is a challenging task. Most research studies consider optimization o...

This paper presents a multiobjective continuous covering location problem in fuzzy environment. Because of uncertain covering radius, possibility of covering concept is introduced.Since, the uncertainty may cause risk of uncovering customers; the problemis formulated as a risk management model. The presented model is an extension of the discrete covering location models tocontinuous space. Two ...

regarding the nature of non-linear discrete placement, and in order to determine the optimal capacity of the substation, the goal in the present study will be a number of local optimum points. in this research, the problem of optimal placement posts to reduce power losses by considering distributed generation (dg). in formulating the objective function, geographical distribution density in the ...
