In this paper, we have studied the electron-donor atom diamagnetic susceptibility confined in a hemi-cylindrical quantum dot (QD). It is analyzed specifically how the impurity location affects diamagnetic susceptibility. The 3D Schrödinger equation in hemi-cylindrical QD was solved using the finite difference method within the effective mass approximation. This is accomplished by performing our system's Hamiltonian in hemi-cylindrical geometry. We have demonstrated that the hemicylindrical size and impurity position have a significant impact on the diamagnetic susceptibility. When the impurity is localized in the center of the nanostructure for the hemi-cylindrical QD, the diamagnetic susceptibility reaches its greatest value.

The article analyzes and develops an algorithm for the operation of the powder backfill process using vibration oscillations. The results of the study make it possible to predict the main properties of particles of any shape. The developed computer simulation model also provides for the superposition of horizontal and vertical oscillations. It should be noted that the difference between them is that the main one for the implementation of horizontal oscillations is the X - coordinate, and for vertical ones – the Y - coordinate. It is also important that the model algorithm provides for simultaneous application of vibration oscillations, which makes it possible to study the influence of the history of the backfill process. It should also be noted that in this scientific study, a number of experiments were conducted, the change in porosity during the imposition of oscillations was studied, and graphs of the obtained experimental dependences were constructed. Porosity from the main parameters of the bunker, in particular: width and height, is also studied. The obtained results made it possible to record the optimal porosity of the backfill with a reliable deviation error (± 1%).

The process of welding is prone to many defects and these defects can cause the formation of many defective regions. It is necessary to identify the regions of defects as these may cause problems and breakages. In this work, we have proposed a method to detect and identify the defects that are commonly seen in seam welds. Manually identifying the detects is not only error prone and time consuming, most of the defects are not visible to the human eyes. In recent days, X-ray images of weld seam are used for this purpose. In this paper we have applied computer vision techniques and proposed an image processing pipeline to generate a binary segmentation of the image to identify the regions of slag and porosity defect seen in weld seams. From the experimental results on the publicly available dataset, GDX-ray images, it could be observed that, there is a significant improvement in detecting various defects with the proposed approach.

This study presents the results of visual and infrared (IR) inspection of photovoltaics (PV) technologies installed at the Qatar environment and energy research institute (QEERI) outdoor test facility (OTF) at Qatar Foundation (Doha, Qatar). Silicon based PV technologies which have been operational in the field since 2014, have been investigated for various failure modes. The visual inspections were carried out for all the PV modules from the backside however, the inspection from the front side was not possible for some modules due to heavy soiling. The visual defects which were identified during this study include, cracking of the back glass, yellowing of the encapsulant material, cracks formation in the back sheet, and pits formation in the back sheet. The visual inspection revealed that around 19 % of the total modules have back sheet cracking and discoloration, 8 % have yellowing of the encapsulant, and around 4 % were having pits in the back sheet. Moreover, one module was detected with back glass cracking. The IR inspection was also done both from front and backside for all the silicon PV modules to detect hot spots. The IR inspection has revealed that hot spots were generated at different locations of the PV modules. 39 % of the modules have hot spots at the location of junction boxes, around 6 % of the modules have hot spots in junction boxes and around 1 % have hot spots at the locations away from junction boxes. The visual and IR inspection has revealed that the dominant failure modes which have been observed for silicon-based technologies at OTF are the hot spots generation at junction boxes and the back sheet cracking, and its yellowing.

A mode I, centre crack, in ductile steel plate of finite dimensions is modeled in ANSYS software. Non-linear stress-strain data of steel are used. Plane strain case is adopted. A suitable value of far field tensile stress (pressure) is chosen such that EPFM condition prevails at the crack tip. Process and plastic zones are obtained at the crack tip. Desired values are noted. Areas of high stress and high strain are identified. Validation of void nucleation taking place ahead of crack tip and not exactly at the crack tip and coalescence of voids happening at the crack tip are confirmed from the results. Plots between the distance of desired location from the crack tip and load line stresses and strains are drawn. The plots are in accordance with the expectations.

In this manuscript, a new concept of power generation from thermoelectric generators TEGs using the sun irradiation and two oil tanks, one hot and one cold, is proposed. It consists of two oil tanks separated by a plate covering several TEGs in series. The oil tank at the bottom of the system constitutes a cold convection condition for the TEGs plate; on the other hand, the upper oil tank accounts for a hot convection condition since its upper surface is transparent and therefore subjected to the sun irradiation that will heat up the oil. To test the feasibility of this concept, an appropriate thermal modeling is developed and associated parametric analysis was carried out. It shows that powers up to 242 W can be generated with a system having a hot oil tank height of 0.2 m along with a width and length of 2 m each.

Photocatalysts that can utilize sunlight energy have attracted attention. In this study, g-C 3 N 4 and mesoporous SiO 2 @TiO 2 particles were mixed by hydrothermal synthesis. g-C 3 N 4 was made by a simple method of directly heating melamine. Mesoporous SiO 2 @TiO 2 was prepared using the stover method. These two types of particles were then mixed by hydrothermal synthesis. Hydrothermal synthesis reduced the size of the g-C 3 N 4 particles, and they bound more closely with the TiO 2 particles. The degradation of methylene blue dye by visible light was performed to evaluate the organic degradation of the mixed particles. In addition, the mixed particles were formed into a thin film by the spin-coating method. The film's methylene blue degradation performance and the film's power generation performance in a battery were evaluated. The film showed high convenience in the practical application of photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants because it can be easily separated from the treated liquid after organic matter degradation.

This work describes a theoretical and analytical study of a temperature and pressure sensor based on II-VI semiconductors with a simple multi-quantum wells (MQWs) structure. The proposed sensor operates by detecting changes in the intensity (transmission coefficient) and energy of localized electronic states inside gaps under external perturbations of hydrostatic pressure and temperature. Specifically, the proposed MQWs structure is ZnO/Zn1-XMgXO with 10 cells, each containing two materials that form the wells and barriers, respectively. The structure is perturbed by a staircase defect consisting of three defects of the same material or geomaterial. The Green function method is used to study the transmittance of the structure, with cleavage and coupling operators employed. The objective of the work is to explore a new type of defect for use in sensing applications such as multi-quantum well sensors. Key parameters for evaluating the sensor's performance include full width at half maximum (FWHM), sensor sensitivity (S), quality factor (QF), detection limit (DL), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), dynamic range (DR), detection accuracy (DA), the figure of merit (MF), and standard deviation. These parameters can be optimized by adjusting structural parameters such as the thickness of the staircase or material concentration. The study found that a geomaterial staircase defect provides higher sensitivity to pressure and temperature changes. Additionally, the step (δx) of the staircase defect influences the sensitivity of the localized states: with increasing steps, δx improves sensitivity to temperature and decreases sensitivity to pressure.

The article describes in detail the process of modelling an inhomogeneous environment. It should be noted that the modelling of a rectangular plate is justified by the Kirchhoff – Love methods. A special feature of this simulation with the intervention of the Abaqus software package was the setting of different steps at different points in time. We also constructed H-adaptive schemes of finite element methods and their triangulation with different steps and with pre-guaranteed accuracy. When adapting the grid at the places of the greatest errors, a local thickening of the Triangle grid was observed, which ultimately determines that the structure of the desired solutions contains features in the edges of the vertices of the fixed edge. We also found that the proximity to linear growth of the number of nodes and finite elements in the initial stages of adaptation slows down their growth in the final stages. It should also be noted that the proposed H-adaptive schemes of ITU using the Abaqus software package with pre-guaranteed accuracy of calculating approximations showed satisfactory results, since they obtained a final deviation error of 2%. Also, a detailed description of the step-by-step adaptation results allowed us to generate the reliability of the proposed schemes with different steps.

The present work proposes the development of numerical tools for solving fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems where the structure is coupled with cables. For the numerical treatment of fluids in incompressible flow, the Navier-Stokes and continuity equations are discretized using a semi-implicit version of the characteristic-based split (CBS) method in the context of the finite element method (FEM), where linear tetrahedral elements are used. In the presence of moving structures, the flow equations are described through an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation and a numerical scheme of mesh movement is adopted. The structure is treated through a three-dimensional rigid body approach and the cable through an elastic model with geometric nonlinearity and spatial discretization by the nodal position finite element method (NPFEM). The system of equations of motion can be temporally discretized using the implicit Newmark and generalized-α methods and a partitioned coupling scheme is used taking into account fluid-structure and cable-structure couplings. The algorithms proposed here are verified using numerical applications.
