Deformations of Unsymmetric Composite Panels
… deformations of various unsymmetric composite panels due to thermal and mechanical loads. Chapter 2 focuses on the warpage of large unsymmetric curved composite panels due manufacturing anomalies. These panels are subjected to a temperature change of -280°F to simulate the cooling from the …

Shambles & Crowley: Autobiographical Fiction in Four Panels
<p>This paper explores the development of Shambles & Crowley, a collection of autobiographical fiction comic strips featuring Shambles, a burnt-out boy, Crowley, a loudmouthed crow, Franz Kafka, a silent companion, Saadat Manto, a prankster, and God, an overbearing authority figure. Drawing …

Element Detection in Japanese Comic Book Panels
… as speech bubbles present in Japanese comic book panels. Some applications of the work presented in this paper are automatic detection of text and its transformation into audio or into other languages. Automatic detection of elements can also allow reasoning and analysis at a deeper semantic level …

Failure of sandwich honeycomb panels in bending
This thesis investigates failure in sandwich panels due to bending, specifically localised buckling or wrinkling, a predominant failure mechanism for thin gauge honeycomb sandwich panels loaded in bending or compression. Over the past 60 years, considerable work has been devoted to understanding …

Structural limitations of additively manufactured building panels
… study on the performance of structural panels designed to serve as roofing and walls in low-cost Costa Rican homes manufactured with additive manufacturing of recycled polymers. Designs were simulated iteratively in Solidworks and performance was measured based on weight, print time, and …

Simultaneous structural/acoustical design of composite panels
… coincidence region (1600 Hz - 12800 Hz for the panels studied.) Impedance transfer theory is used to predict the acoustical properties of a flat unstiffened anisotropic panel treated with a fibrous acoustic blanket, airgap, and limp-mass septum. Structural analysis is based on a fatigue damage …

Flutter of sandwich panels at supersonic speeds
… that the vibration and buckling behavior of such panels can be affected significantly by shear deformations. An analysis which considers transverse shear deformations is presented in order to determine the effect of finite transverse shear stiffness on the flutter behavior of sandwich plates. The …

Evaluation of alternative cooling techniques for photovoltaic panels
… system is investigated. While using photovoltaic panels in the southeast Unites States has been judged less attractive than in other parts of the country owing to the humid climate and numerous cloudy days, in the present work the meteorological data are obtained from National Solar Radiation …

Maximum power point tracking circuit for solar panels
… intensity of sunlight, temperature of the solar panels, cell area and load. When solar power is the energy source, the output power has to be maximized by increasing the efficiency of the power conditioning equipment. This is achieved by implementing an adaptive power controller that …

Parameter Estimation in Panels of Intercorrelated Time Series
We consider parameter estimation in panels of intercorrelated time series. By a factorisation of the conditional log-likelihood function we obtain a new estimator \hat{a}_n,T for panels of intercorrelated autoregressive time series. We generalise this model to a factor model, where a single …

Mechanical behavior of dip-brazed aluminum sandwich panels
… to determine the mechanical behavior of sandwich panels containing cellular cores of varying shape. Compression and four point bend tests were performed on sandwich panels with square and triangular honeycomb cores. These honeycombs were made of perforated aluminum sheet of repeating diamond and …

Dynamic instabilities imparted by CubeSat deployable solar panels
In this work, multibody dynamics simulation was used to investigate the effects of solar panel deployment on CubeSat attitude dynamics. Nominal and partial/asymmetric deployments were simulated for four different solar panel assemblies. Trend lines were obtained for the evolution of the angular …
