he rocket sled test facility at the Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico provides a unique and valuable test venue for evaluating advanced missile technology at representative flight velocities. Recent failures at the facility underscore the inherent high-risk nature of supersonic sled tests and undermine their potential value to missile development programs. This article addresses one potenti...

typically, two configurations are used for energy harvesting, with different advantages: piezoelastic and piezomagnetoelastic. best performance of piezoelastic configuration is limited to its narrow bandwidth around the resonance frequency. if the excitation frequency slightly deviates from the resonance frequency, the power-out is severely reduced. to overcome this, the piezomagnetoelastic has...

the sirri jacket offshore platform was designed and installed in persian gulf of iran in 1975 and has been in service since that time. the importance of offshore structure's stability and the failure of this kind of structure during an earthquake in different active zones revealed that earthquake loading has to be considered. in this paper, magnetorheological (mr) fluid dampers have been propos...

prediction using pure standards is expected to be biased whenever the slope of the calibration is affected by the presence of sample matrix. moreover, in the presence of unknown spectral interferents, first-order algorithms like partial least squares cannot be used. in this study, a method for determination of carvedilol (car) in tablet and urine samples is proposed by excitation-emission fluor...
