A parametric study for the behaviour of steel plate-anchor assembly embedded in concrete under cyclic loading
Abstract: Steel plate-anchor assembly embedded in concrete is a common type of connection system used for connecting structural steel members to concrete members. These assemblies are subjected to different loading cases depending on their use. Since the behaviour of such assemblies is quite complex and depends on a number of factors associated with different components, it was decided to adopt finite-element technique to obtain a reasonably accurate analytical solution for the …

Identifying Number Plates using Feature Extraction
Abstract: A number plate can be recognized completely only when the number plate on the vehicle is neither broken nor deliberately mutilated. This pose a hinderance in recognizing these types of plates. In order to overcome this problem, one has to either compare the characters recognized from the broken plate or directly compare the features of the given plate to the database. This helps in reducing time and space complexity. Various …

Review On Bipolar Plate Geometric Design and Materials for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Applications
Abstract: Abstract Bipolar plates (BPs) are vital components in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), performing multiple essential functions that directly influence system efficiency, durability, and overall operational performance. They ensure uniform distribution of reactant gases across the active area, provide electrical conductivity between adjacent cells, assist in effective thermal management by dissipating heat generated during electrochemical reactions, and maintain proper sealing to prevent leakage of gases and coolant. Among these …
