The human skeleton experiences a wide range of strain rates during various activities and events. The mechanical response of bone considerably depends on the rate of applied loading. Though various studies are available ...
Cutting fluids are generally used during the conventional turning process to provide lubrication and
flushing of chips from the cutting zone. However, cutting fluids cost around 16-20% of total production
cost apart from ...
The aggressive scaling of on-chip interconnects leads to a significant increase in coupling
capacitance. This causes crosstalk effects, especially for technology nodes at the end of the
roadmap. In addition, surface ...
Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are widely used in soft robotics as they are flexible,
light weight, resembles natural muscle, induce large strain, have high energy density and
quick response time. The DEA is a ...
Surface voltage measurement of an insulated (silicone rubber) overhead conductor
assumes importance for understanding corona, radio interference voltages, and design
purposes. Surface voltage measurement of a bare overhead ...

Increasing global energy demand and dependence on fossil fuels which are limited in stoke and are associated with environmental and health concerns arising from their use, have sparked the research interest in alternative ...
Peptides and proteins play vital roles in almost all biological and physiological
processes. Since they function as hormones, enzyme inhibitors or substrates, growth
promoters, or inhibitors and neurotransmitters, life ...
Continuous increase in global population and technology dependence has led to
extensive exploitation of non-renewable sources of energy like fossil fuels. Adverse
consequences on environment due to burning of fossil fuels ...
