Enhancing Electric Vehicle Range and Efficiency with Hybrid Auxiliary Energy Storage Systems: A Comprehensive Investigation
Abstract: Battery packs are the most significant and basic component of the electric vehicle system, and it therefore matters to analyse their operational metrics. Numerous Batteries that are used as energy storage devices for transporting needed energy have many upsides, such as minimal or no combustion, light weight, and more convenient charging and discharging cycles. However, when overcharged, these batteries experience many not beneficial temperature effects, as well as mechanical distortion …

Dynamic and Fatigue Analysis of Engine Crank Shaft by Using FEM Approach
Abstract: The internal combustion (ICE) engine crankshaft is a high-volume manufacturing component with a complicated shape. This converts the piston's reciprocating displacement into the crank's rotating motion. In this research, an effort is made to investigate how geometry modification might increase the fatigue life of a single-cylinder engine crankshaft. SOLIDWORK software was used to construct the modelling of the original and optimised crankshaft, which was then imported for analysis into ANSYS …

Finite element analysis using Staad-Pro for irregular L-shape Building by Time History Analysis
Abstract: To perform well in an earthquake, a building should possess four main attributes, namelysimple and regular configuration, and adequate lateral strength, stiffness and ductility.Buildings having simple regular geometry and uniformly distributed mass and stiffness inplanes well as in elevation, suffer much less damage than buildings with irregularconfigurations. Impairment can be in the form of loss of non-structural element, damage tostructural components, and collapse of structural element leading to progressive failure …

To Study the Effects of EL & WL on RC Structure in Various Seismic Zones and Soil Types
Abstract: Nowadays, earthquakes are a phenomenon that has an impact on the structural safety andserviceability. The degree of damage caused by an earthquake to structures is determined bythe type of building, the type of soil, the technology utilised for earthquake protection, and,last but not least, the location of the building. The effects of an earthquake are heavilydependent on the type of soil in which the foundation of a building is built, …

Non-Newtonian Fluid Helmet
Abstract: Risk and reward are inevitably weighed when riding a motorcycle. Riders experience the thrill of the wind in their faces and a sense of independence, but they also have to accept the risk of damage that comes with a motorbike accident. The potential for brain damage in motorcycle accidents is one of thelargest risks. Riders are much more likely than passengers in passenger vehicles to sustain a brain injury in …

Assumptions, Limitations and Applications of Bernoulli’s Equation
Abstract: The Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, also called “beam theory”, is a condensed version of the linearisotropic theory of elasticity and can be used to predict the load-carrying and deflection properties ofbeams. It was initially stated around the year 1750, but it was not widely used until the Eiffel Towerand the Ferris Wheel were built in the late 19th century. It immediately became an engineering pillarand a catalyst for the Second Industrial …

Plates, Shells and Their Composite Structures
Abstract: Review of the impact of large nonlinear deformations on plate and shell response. The approach ofmodelling discrete reinforcements and the smeared stiffeners technique suited to stringers with tightspacing are both presented in relation to the analysis of stiffened plates and shells. The behaviour andstrength of plates and shells are demonstrated to be affected by apertures and cut-outs, both locallythrough the localization of stress and globally through the effects on stiffness. …

Structural Mechanics: Its Boundary Conditions and Applications
Abstract: Structural mechanics is the study of the calculation of deformations, deflections, internal forces, orstresses (stress equivalents) within structures, either for design or for performance assessment ofalready-existing structures. An area of structural analysis is this. Structural loads, the geometricrepresentation and support circumstances of the structure, as well as the material properties, are allinput variables for structural mechanics analyses. Support responses, strains, and displacementscould all be included in the output numbers. The …
