Piezoresistive Monitoring of Carbon Nanomaterial‐Reinforced Epoxy Composites Under Cyclic and Fatigue Loading: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Carbon nanomaterial‐reinforced epoxy composites exhibit pronounced piezoresistive behavior, enabling intrinsic damage sensing under cyclic and fatigue loading. This review critically compares carbon nanotube and graphene systems, correlating filler content, percolation threshold, and gauge factor with sensing stability and damage evolution.

Integration of Voltage Source Converters in Steady-State RMS Short-Circuit Analysis

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Voltage source converters (VSCs) are self-commutated converters able to generate AC voltages with or without the support of an AC connecting grid. VSCs allow fast control of active and reactive powers in an independent way.

DC/AC power converter for home scale electricity systems powered by renewable energy

open access: yes2016 International Conference on Smart Green Technology in Electrical and Information Systems (ICSGTEIS), 2016
This paper presents the design of a single phase DC/AC Converter or Inverter for home scale electricity systems powered by renewable energy such as photovoltaic system. The power converter is controlled using a microcontroller. The inverter system is firstly modeled and simulated using SPICE, before we design it.

MOFs and COFs in Electronics: Bridging the Gap between Intrinsic Properties and Measured Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold promise for advanced electronics. However, discrepancies in reported electrical conductivities highlight the importance of measurement methodologies. This review explores intrinsic charge transport mechanisms and extrinsic factors influencing performance, and critically ...
