The aim of this article is to introduce and discuss prediction power of the multiple regression technique, artificial neural network (ANN), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system (ANFIS) methods for predicting the forced ...

We propose a novel and fast frame scheduling method for the Static Segment (SS) of the new in-vehicle network standard FlexRay v3.0 in this paper. The proposed methods assigns frames to the SS using the minimum number of ...

This paper presents an electrostatically actuated, normally closed microvalve for parylene microfluidics. The proposed valve structure isolates the fluid from the electric field, and hence results in relatively low actuation ...

Infusing minute amounts of valuable liquids such as samples to microfluidic chips by using common pumping schemes such as syringe pumps often result in an excessive dead-volume. We present a simple yet effective sample ...

In this paper, mechanical properties of materials, e.g. ultimate tensile strength, yield stress, elastic modulus, ductility, resilience, toughness, etc., are calculated using MATLAB and Mathematica programming language and ...

The unique properties of high hardness, toughness, strain hardening, and development of strain-induced martensite of nickel-titanium superalloys made the micro-wire electro discharge machining (mu wire-EDM) process one of ...

This paper presents a novel electrostatic microvalve to control in-plane flow on parylene based lab-on-a-chip-devices. Normally-closed design of the microvalve insulates the working fluid from the electric field, while ...

In this study, kinetics and kinematics of perforation process for various penetrator-target plate combinations is analyzed, a methodology in a flow chart format to decide on failure mode, and for each failure mode, an ...

An actual test of medium-duty truck collision with twin anti-ram bollards of steel tube is analysed and simulated with different mass-spring-damper models to study bollard design requirements. Test data is obtained from ...

In this paper, numerical analysis and experimental investigation of a micromixer, which was specifically designed for microfluidic devices fabricated by micromilling, is presented. The mixer is composed of series of ...
