The increasing traffic demand is continuously growing worldwide.Therefore, the life of a large stock of bridges that still exist throughout the world must be extended, ensuring at the same time that safety is not compromised for economic reason.This paper introduces the possibility to control the fatigue life of existing bridges by using a vibratio
This paper describes flight planning supported by modeling, guidance, and feedback control for an electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) QuadPlane small Uncrewed Aircraft System (sUAS).Five Lift+Cruise sUAS waypoint types are defined and used to construct smooth flight path geometries and acceleration profiles.Novel accelerated coverage fli
Since 2000s, we have outlined the multifaceted role of inflammation in several aspects of cancer, via specific inflammatory mediators, including the platelet activating factor (PAF) and PAF-receptor (PAFR) related signaling, which affect important inflammatory junctions and cellular interactions that are associated with tumor-related inflammatory m
Accurate prognosis of degradation trend is considered very important for the maintenance of critical industrial equipment and assets.This leads to an increase in service availability and life expectancy.Accurate and timely degradation prognosis enables maintenance managers to efficiently plan maintenance regimes and reduce failure occurrences.Recen
This paper deals with the coefficient of determination of screw connection friction between the thread and the matrix.The coefficient of friction was measured using a laboratory device with an M20 screw connection without any grease and, subsequently, plastic grease was added (CX80 silicone, lithium, and copper grease).When grease is added, the fri
