Wetting of doped carbon nanotubes by water droplets
(2005)
We study the wetting of doped single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes by water droplets using molecular dynamics simulations. Chemisorbed hydrogen is considered as a model of surface impurities. We study systems with ...
Minimum relative entropy criterion for damage detection and location
(2007)
Relative entropy has been employed, as an alternative to other regularization methods, in solving ill-conditioned linear inverse problems. Damage detection when treated as structural modification imparted by the damage ...

Analytical target cascading for the design of an advanced technology heavy truck
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2002)
Analytical target cascading (ATC) is a methodology that can be used during the early development stages of large and complex systems for propagating desirable overall product targets to appropriate individual specifications ...
Identification of hysteretic systems using the differential evolution algorithm
(Affiliation: Dept. of Mechanichal Engineering, University of Sheffield, Mappin Street, Sheffield S1 3JD, United KingdomCorrespondence Address: Kyprianou, A.Dept. of Mechanichal Engineering, University of Sheffield, Mappin Street, Sheffield S1 3JD, United Kingdomemail: Mep96Gak@sheffield.ac.uk, 1998)
In system identification, it is well-known that any non-linear in the parameters system, possesses a complicated error surface with many local minima. In this case the conventional algorithms, such as those based on least ...
Thermoelectric module for low temperature applications
(2002)
The possibility of a prototype thermoelectric cooling device for operation near liquid nitrogen temperatures has been explored. In these devices, the figure of merit involves a combination of the properties of the two ...
Bond graph based modal decomposition of systems with non-proportional damping
(Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Street, Nicosia 1678, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Louca, L.S.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Street, Nicosia 1678, Cyprusemail: lslouca@ucy.ac.cy, 2012)
Modal analysis of lumped parameter and continuous dynamic linear systems is extensively used to study their dynamic behavior and controller design. In both cases, a reduction of the model size that does not degrade accuracy ...
Generating proper dynamic models for truck mobility and handling
(2004)
The effectiveness and utility of an energy-based model reduction algorithm for two different vehicle system modeling applications are discussed. The first case study focuses on the vehicle dynamics model of a military ...
Bond graph based modal representations and model reduction of lumped parameter systems
(Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Street, Nicosia 1678, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Louca, L.S.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Street, Nicosia 1678, Cyprusemail: lslouca@ucy.ac.cy, 2006)
Modal analysis is extensively used to study dynamic behavior of continuous and lumped parameter linear systems. More specifically, modal analysis can be used for the analysis and controller design of dynamic systems. In ...
Assessing the accuracy of wall concentration estimation based on averaged permeate velocity in spacer-filled Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane systems
(2006)
The accuracy of estimations of wall concentration using the constant (averaged) permeate velocity method was assessed in both empty and spacer-filled reverse osmosis (RO) channels under various operation conditions, based ...
