Optimizing Biodiesel Production from Waste Cooking Oil Using Genetic Algorithm-Based Support Vector Machines
(MDPI, 2018-11-01)
The ever increasing fuel demands and the limitations of oil reserves have motivated research of renewable and sustainable energy resources to replace, even partially, fossil fuels, which are having a serious environmental ...
Using Genetic Algorithms With Multi-Objective Optimization To Adjust Finite Element Models Of Welded Joints
(MDPI, 2018-04-02)
To ensure realistic results when modeling welded joints using the finite element method (FEM), it is essential to appropriately characterize the thermo-mechanical behavior of the elastic-plastic Finite Element (FE) models. ...
Influence of Cryogenic Treatment on Wear Resistance and Microstructure of AISI A8 Tool Steel
(MDPI, 2018-12)
The effects of deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) on the wear behavior of different tool steels have been widely reported in the scientific literature with uneven results. Some tool steels show a significant improvement in ...
Adaptive Static Line Rating for Systems with HTLS Conductors
(IEEE, 2018)
Operation and planning of a power system are constrained by the rating of power lines. Usually, the static line rating is used for system operation and planning. The static line rating defined for an electric grid uses the ...
Field validation of gap-type overhead conductor creep
(Elsevier, 2018-09-11)
Gap-type overhead conductor sag-tension calculations based on experimental conductor creep tests are based on stress-strain and metallurgical creep tests. Although for bi-metallic conductors, these tests are carried out ...
