Thermal performance of building materials is often improved by introducing air voids through foaming. However, this typically results in a reduction in compressive strength. To address this issue, an experimental study was conducted to develop thermally efficient geopolymer blocks using three grades of crumb rubber (CR), without compromising compressive strength. Tests such as compressive strength, tensile strength, thermal conductivity, water absorption, and porosity were carried out to assess the performance of these blocks in comparison to conventional geopolymer blocks. The CR-incorporated geopolymer blocks demonstrated low thermal conductivity, ranging from 0.63 to 0.43 W/mK, along with a reduced environmental impact and carbon footprint. Importantly, they exhibited high compressive strength, ranging from 25 to 52 MPa, which exceeds the required strength for first-class bricks (12 MPa). A computational conjugate heat transfer analysis was also carried out to evaluate the strength of heat transferred through the solid media to the internal fluid media. It contributes to the advancement of environmentally conscious building materials, emphasizing the potential benefits of crumb rubber-incorporated geopolymer composites as a novel material for building construction purpose.

With the advancement of cutting-edge technologies, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has assisted the healthcare sector by facilitating interaction between healthcare service providers and patients in remote areas. In IoMT, wearable or implantable sensors collect the patient’s record and share the information through a public network. Health-related information about the patient must be protected from a variety of attacks by the adversary since it is sensitive and extremely vulnerable to attacks. The sensor equipment that is implanted in the patient is also resource-constrained and has a low power capacity. The entities involved in the communication must be authenticated with one another in order to protect patients’ health information, anonymity, and reliability. While several authenticated key agreement protocols have been proposed, many suffer from high computational costs and storage cost, making them unsuitable for lightweight applications. This paper proposes a secure three-factor robust Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) based mutually authenticated and key agreement protocol known as RELAKA for the IoMT environment, utilizing the benefits of one-way hash function. In proposed scheme, all entities, including the healthcare service providers and wearable sensors, are authenticated by the medical server. Subsequently, a secret key is established for each communication session and shared between all the entities. Additionally, mechanism for appropriate user revocation and re-registration is integrated to provide additional security in cases where a user’s QR code is tampered with by the attacker. The privacy of the proposed protocol is investigated by the potential use of zero knowledge proof. Furthermore, the efficacy of the authentication is examined by challenge and response mechanism. The informal security analysis demonstrates its resistance to threats such as DoS, impersonation, message modification, password guessing, and so on. The performance evaluation of RELAKA protocol indicates that the execution, communication, and storage costs is reduced by 87.59%, 43% and 60.71% respectively. Moreover, the outcomes of the AVISPA simulation illustrate that the RELAKA successfully evades both active and passive attacks. In addition, real-world testbed environment is developed with Raspberry pi 4 model B and the experimental results verifies the robustness of the proposed protocol. According to theoretical analysis and experimental evaluation, the RELAKA scheme is more secure and efficient than the existing protocols.
随着尖端技术的发展,医疗物联网(IoMT)通过促进医疗服务提供商与偏远地区患者之间的互动,为医疗保健行业提供了帮助。在 IoMT 中,可穿戴或植入式传感器收集病人的记录,并通过公共网络共享信息。由于病人的健康相关信息十分敏感,极易受到攻击,因此必须保护这些信息免受对手的各种攻击。植入患者体内的传感器设备也受到资源限制,功率较低。为了保护患者的健康信息、匿名性和可靠性,参与通信的实体之间必须相互验证。虽然已经提出了几种验证密钥协议,但许多协议都存在计算成本和存储成本高的问题,因此不适合轻量级应用。本文利用单向散列函数的优势,为 IoMT 环境提出了一种基于椭圆曲线加密法(ECC)的安全三因素稳健相互验证和密钥协议协议,即 RELAKA。在提议的方案中,包括医疗服务提供商和可穿戴传感器在内的所有实体都要经过医疗服务器的验证。随后,为每个通信会话建立密钥,并在所有实体之间共享。此外,还集成了适当的用户撤销和重新注册机制,以便在用户的二维码被攻击者篡改时提供额外的安全性。通过可能使用的零知识证明,对所提议协议的隐私性进行了研究。此外,还通过挑战和响应机制检验了身份验证的有效性。非正式安全分析表明,该协议可抵御 DoS、冒名顶替、信息修改、密码猜测等威胁。RELAKA 协议的性能评估表明,其执行成本、通信成本和存储成本分别降低了 87.59%、43% 和 60.71%。此外,AVISPA 仿真结果表明,RELAKA 成功地躲避了主动和被动攻击。此外,还利用 Raspberry pi 4 B 型开发了实际测试平台环境,实验结果验证了所提协议的鲁棒性。根据理论分析和实验评估,RELAKA 方案比现有协议更安全、更高效。

In this study, a sliding mode observer (SMO) based on high-frequency (HF) voltage signal injection and a phase-locked loop (PLL) is proposed for estimating the extended electromotive force (EEMF), rotor position, and rotor velocity of an interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM). This approach addresses real-time estimation challenges associated with standard SMO and PLL at very low speeds and standstill. A reliable and accurate sensorless speed control system for IPMSM is then developed and implemented in real time using the proposed SMO and PLL, covering a wide range of speeds, including low-speed and standstill conditions. The SMO effectively estimates the EEMF, while the PLL extracts the rotor velocity and position based on these estimates. Compared to conventional SMO and PLL methods, real-time results from an 8-pole, 0.4 kW IPMSM demonstrate the superior efficiency of the proposed system.

Soils in natural or reclaimed areas frequently contain a mixture of sand, silt, and clay, rather than consisting solely of clean sand. The influence of a small proportion of fine plastic particles within a sandy matrix on liquefaction resistance still remains unclear. For this purpose, the cyclic response of sand with clay is investigated by using two different types of clay (kaolin and montmorillonite) with three different clay content (5, 10, 15%). The influence of clay mineralogy and clay inclusion level on the cyclic behavior of clayey sand is analyzed. The specimens are prepared with 50% relative densities using wet tamping method to ensure homogeneity and consolidated at 100 kPa effective stress. The results show that kaolin and montmorillonite contained sand show contractive response and limited flow type of liquefaction. For kaolin containing sand, specimens containing 5% kaolin showed a increment in resistance while liquefaction resistance decreased on specimens that contained 10% and 15% kaolin. When considering specimens with montmorillonite; in sand with a 5% clay content, a decrease in liquefaction potential was observed, while an increment was obtained in sand containing 10% and 15% clay content. Moreover, between the intergranular void ratio and the liquefaction resistance, a significant relationship is revealed.

For the design of advanced aero-engine rotor systems under ultra-high rotational speeds, this paper undertakes a comprehensive investigation into the contact stiffness of curvic couplings, which are the key connection mechanism of modern aero-engine rotors, and explores the dynamic variations in the contact stiffness of curvic couplings under working conditions. Firstly, the impact of dynamic loads of aero-engine rotors under working conditions on the curvic coupling is studied; Then, the contact stiffness analytical model of curvic couplings considering three-dimensional geometric features is proposed with the effects of dynamic loads; Finally, based on the established stiffness model, the dynamic loss laws of contact stiffness of curvic couplings under different dynamic loads are investigated, and the established model is experimentally validated. The results show that the dynamic loss law of contact stiffness varies with different dynamic loads. In comparison to the contact stiffness under the static condition, dynamic loads significantly reduce the contact stiffness of curvic couplings under working conditions, which in turn leads to changes in the dynamic characteristics of the rotor with curvic couplings. For the safe integration of the discontinuous rotor system under ultra-high rotational speeds, it is essential to carefully design and regulate the operating speed, transmission torque, unbalanced mass, and preload.

In this study, the electrophoresis-assisted milling (EAM) method, an alternative method to the conventional milling (CM) method, was proposed to increase the machinability of Ti6Al4V alloy, which is difficult to machine. The nanoparticles in the electrophoresis solution generated an electric field. This electric field collected abrasive particles around the cutting tool, and the machining quality was improved. The impacts of different cutting parameters on the performance characteristics were examined using both EAM and CM methods. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed EAM method significantly improves these performance characteristics. In addition, increasing spindle speed increased tool wear and cutting temperature for both machining methods; It was observed that it reduced cutting force and surface roughness. It was concluded that as the feed rate increased, tool wear, cutting temperature, cutting force, and surface roughness increased. The experimental results showed that feed rate, machining method, and spindle speed affect machining quality. In conclusion, the experimental results significantly impact improving the machining performance of the EAM method.

A quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle should have the ability to achieve the desired flight manuevers regardless of the constraints posed by inevitable disturbances. Therefore, this research presents a robust control method designed for trajectory tracking of quadrotor. The method employs a reduced-order state observer that uses measurable quadrotor position and attitude to estimate only the rate of change of these variables. A modified disturbance estimation criterion, based on measurable states and their estimated rates, is introduced. Command filters and their compensations are utilized to replace numerical derivatives with estimated derivatives, improving accuracy and stability. Tracking errors, obtained from these compensated variables, are used to design state transformations. The control technique, based on sliding mode control combined with adaptive laws and disturbance observer, is formulated to attenuate various disturbances, including band-limited white noise, constant disturbances, exogenous disturbances, nonlinear disturbances with variable frequency and magnitude, Gaussian distributed random disturbances, and uniformly distributed disturbances. The integration of the reduced-order state observer with estimated differentiation minimizes computational loss and allows for quick computation. Stability analysis, conducted using Lyapunov criteria, along with simulation results on the DJI F450 quadrotor, validates the effectiveness and stability of the developed controller.

The control technique, based on sliding mode control combined with adaptive laws and disturbance observer, is formulated to attenuate various disturbances, including band-limited white noise, constant disturbances, exogenous disturbances, nonlinear disturbances with variable frequency and magnitude, Gaussian distributed random disturbances, and uniformly distributed disturbances. The integration of the reduced-order state observer with estimated differentiation minimizes computational loss and allows for quick computation. Stability analysis, conducted using Lyapunov criteria, along with simulation results on the DJI F450 quadrotor, validates the effectiveness and stability of the developed controller.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48609,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Science and Technology-An International Journal-Jestech","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101858"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142530595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additive manufacturing (AM) has gained prominence as an effective technology for producing ceramic prototypes with enhanced dimensional precision, greater time efficiency, and lower cost. Extensive research has been undertaken to understand the formation mechanisms of zirconia ceramic components fabricated through AM and to enhance their performance. Despite these advancements, these techniques require further refinement to be viable for practical application. Consequently, a comprehensive understanding of the prerequisites and complete mechanism of the fabrication of zirconia using AM is essential. Zirconia is primarily utilized in the field of biomedical owing to its biocompatibility, mechanical strength, aesthetic appeal, and chemical stability. This article provides an extensive review of the entire process, including feedstock formulation, feedstock characterization, evaluation of printing fidelity, debinding, and sintering for each ceramic-compatible AM technique. Additionally, this article explores various applications, such as dental implants and crowns, hip implants, knee implants, bone scaffolds, and surgical tools within the biomedical sector. It also offers a detailed description of the evolution, fundamental properties, and basics of zirconia AM technology. The article highlights that zirconia AM requires optimized planning to produce high-quality end-use parts. Key factors such as adequate flowability, rheology, and optimized sintering temperature and duration are crucial for controlling final product quality. In the biomedical field, applications of AM-fabricated zirconia parts, such as surgical tools and knee and hip implants, reveal significant gaps. Further research is needed to fully unlock zirconia’s potential in these areas.

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a wireless network that operates without a fixed infrastructure and is highly adaptable to changes in speed and connectivity. The source mobile node can transfer the data to any other destination node; however, it has restrictions on energy utilization and lifetime of battery. In order to overcome this, in the literature several optimization-enabled routing algorithms are developed in MANET. In this paper, an algorithm, named Serial Exponential Coati Optimization Algorithm (SECOA) is proposed for MANET routing. Here, the link lifetime (LLT) is predicted using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) to ensure reliable and continuous communication. Once LLT prediction is done, nodes with the maximum LLT values are chosen for the routing purpose. To enhance the routing effectiveness, several objective parameters, like energy, distance, trust, and LLT are employed to devise a multi-objective function. Also, it leads to an optimal path using the proposed SECOA approach. In addition, this model is used to extend LLT by choosing best cluster heads of the conventional clusters. Moreover, trust is computed to improve security and enhance cooperation between nodes, which is employed to accelerate the recognition of misbehaving nodes. Finally, the model attained enhanced performance with a maximum energy of 0.895, maximum LLT of 0.758, maximum PDR of 0.889, maximum throughput of 0.895, as well as maximum trust of 0.778.
