Modeling and Dynamical Behavior of Rotating Composite Shafts with SMA Wires

Shock and Vibration, 2014
A dynamical model is developed for the rotating composite shaft with shape-memory alloy (SMA) wires embedded in. The rotating shaft is represented as a thin-walled composite of circular cross-section with SMA wires embedded parallel to shaft’s ...

Cross‐Sectoral AI Integration Is Essential to Tackling Food Waste and Food Insecurity: A Roadmap for Developing Resilient Food Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
As food insecurity and global food demands surge, artificial intelligence (AI)‐based technologies offer promising opportunities to reduce food loss and waste. In this perspective, current AI adoption across the food supply chain is assessed using various academic, industry, and policy sources.

Finite element model based on an efficient layerwise theory for dynamics and active vibration control of smart functionally graded beams

Materials Research Express, 2020
In this work, we present a two-noded efficient finite element (FE) model incorporating the layer-wise mechanics for the dynamics and active vibration control of smart functionally graded (FG) beams.

Farm labor scarcity and its uneven impacts on crop producers in the United States

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study is the first to evaluate the impacts of farm labor scarcity on producers in the United States across different crop production systems. Between 2002 and 2017, we disentangle the effects of labor scarcity from the impacts of rising commodity demand, technological change, and supply of other inputs on labor market outcomes.

Bending of bidirectional functionally graded nonlocal stress-driven beam

Heliyon
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis, using nonlocal stress-driven integral theory, of the static behavior of a nanoscale beam of bidirectionally graded materials. After a brief explanation of the mathematical formulation of BDFGMs, the work done

Animal stroke models and outcome evaluation: A review

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Rodents are the preeminent stroke model species. Large animal models exist too, but are poorly standardized. Ischemic and hemorrhagic experimental models are available, with the intraluminal filament model being predominant. Outcomes are evaluated via quantifying subjects' sensorimotor impairment, cognitive memory faculties, degree of cellular ...

Nonlinear Dynamic Response of an Axially Functionally Graded (AFG) Beam Resting on Nonlinear Elastic Foundation Subjected to Moving Load

Nonlinear Engineering, 2019
In recent years, structures made of Functionally Graded materials (FGMs) are used in industries due to the continuously compositional variation of the constituents in FGMs along different directions. In order to develop FGMs, nonlinear vibration analysis

Bending and vibration behavior of functionally graded piezoelectric nanobeams considering dynamic flexoelectric and surface effects

Scientific Reports
This paper develops a more comprehensive theoretical model for functionally graded material (FGM) piezoelectric nanobeams. The model incorporates a Winkler–Pasternak linear elastic foundation and fully accounts for the effects of dynamic flexoelectric ...

The Use of Unloader Bracing in the Management of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Modified Delphi Consensus Study

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To develop international expert consensus on the role of unloader bracing in the management of tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) by addressing indications, contraindications, clinical evaluation, perioperative applications, and research priorities using a modified Delphi methodology.
