Flexural Behavior of Bidirectionally Graded Lattice
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView., 2023 An experimental study of the bending behavior of bidirectional body‐centered cubic lattice beams is conducted in comparison to uniform and unidirectional counterparts of electron beam melted SS 316 L. Experimental results are used to develop and validate a finite element model which is subsequently used to conduct parametric studies to assess the ...

The Demand Side of Open Government Data: A Case Study of Kingdom of Bahrain [PDF]
International Journal of Managing Information Technology (IJMIT),
VOlume 12, Number 2, May 2020, 2020 Governments around the world have realized the importance of Open Government Data (OGD) as a new paradigm shift in government that focuses on making governments more service-oriented, transparent, and competent. However, as with many countries, the situation of the OGD initiative in the Kingdom of Bahrain is not promising as reflected by a number of ...

A Variational Beam Model for Failure of Cellular and Truss‐Based Architected Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView., 2023 Herein, a versatile and efficient beam modeling framework is developed to predict the nonlinear response and failure of cellular, truss‐based, and woven architected materials. It enables the exploration of their design space and the optimization of their mechanical behavior in the nonlinear regime. A variational formulation of a beam model is presented

Architected Lattices with a Topological Transition
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView., 2023 This article develops topological metamaterials showing multidirectional two‐step deformation under compression by embedding contact‐enabled topological mechanisms into lattice structures. Experiments on 3D‐printed 2D and 3D lattices and finite element simulations are conducted to demonstrate the working principle of the topological metamaterials.

ICT in Local Self Governance: A Study of Rural India [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Applications 83(6):31-36,
December 2013. Published by Foundation of Computer Science, New York, USA, 2014 The concept of local self-governance is not new as it has its roots in ancient time even before the era of Mauryan emperors. This paper depicts the journey of local self-governance from antediluvian time to 21st century. Further, in the current scenario Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has emerged as a successful tool for dissemination of

Does Environmental Attention by Governments Promote Carbon Reductions [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The carbon-reducing effect of attention is scarcer than that of material resources, and when the government focuses its attention on the environment, resources will be allocated in a direction that is conducive to reducing carbon. Using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces from 2007 to 2019, this study revealed the impact of governments' environmental ...
