Investigation of flow characteristics and force generation of flapping wings have received significant attention in modern fluid dynamics due to emerging applications like bio-inspired Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) and energy ...

This paper proposes a novel hybrid approach for ground and aerial locomotion. Conceptual designs have been created for ground and aerial platforms and analyzed them separately. 3D models are optimized considering the ...

Strawberry is a delicate fruit that has substantial economic value. Strawberries can be easily damaged during harvesting due to their soft nature. Therefore, strawberry harvesting requires skilled labourers who can gently ...

This paper proposes the use of wave springs as structural segments for soft, flexible robotic arms. Conventional robotic arms are limited in their use within confined spaces due to the lack of maneuverability and safety. ...

The adequacy evaluation of modern renewable-rich power systems tends to be a computationally challenging task due to variations of renewable power generation. Recently, more computationally efficient evolutionary algorithms ...

The water droplets present in the insulator surfaces cause variation in the e-field along the insulator surface. Variation in the e-field can lead to flashover and accelerate the ageing of the insulator and ultimately will ...

Due to the increase in electricity demand and the rapid depletion of fossil fuels, energy management has become a critical issue over the last two decades. Thus, researchers, utility suppliers, governments, and policymakers ...

The entire world faces severe environmental problems that represent a threat to the planet’s existence. Thus, protecting the environment, minimising environmental degradation, and safeguarding the earth’s natural resources ...

Transition from non-clean cooking fuels to clean cooking fuels is a sustainable development requirement which needs to be addressed at a household level. Household decisions play a crucial role in terms of cooking transition ...

Names are used abundantly in various applications, but traditional spell-checkers are not adapted to correcting errors in names. In this research, we suggest a spell-checker for Sri Lankan names and addresses. The main ...
