A vast range of human-friendly interactive robotic heads is being developed by researchers. However these robot heads require improvements in construction and behavior to achieve more human-like performance. Therefore this ...
In deploying a large scale wind power plant, there are several aspects that have to be assessed. Among them the initial site screening for wind power plants, wind data assessment and proper selection of wind turbines are ...
This paper focuses on designing and simulation of an interactive robotic arm for pick and place and service applications. The robot is expected to have image processing and voice recognition capability. The mechanical ...
High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) links are used for bulk power transmission due to its advantages over the alternating current (ac) transmission. A HVDC link between India and Sri Lanka has also being proposed. Hence it ...
Voltage unbalance (VU) is regarded as a power quality problem of significant concern at the electricity distribution level. Influence of unbalanced supply voltages on the adverse performance of power system and its equipment ...
Failures in high voltage equipment are often caused due to internal faults which cause a local electrical stress concentration in the insulation; called as partial discharge. Therefore partial discharge detection is highly ...
Wireless power transfer can make an extraordinary change in the field of the electrical engineering which eliminates the use of conventional copper cables and current carrying wires. In this paper, we present the concept ...
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) based roofing sheets are widely used in industrial and domestic applications today. It is recognized that ultraviolet rays (UV) in sunlight (wavelengths between 280 nm and 400 nm) cause photodegradation ...
Traditional monolithic building construction is labour and time- intensive and usually found
in inadequate quality. Rapid urbanization and steadily expanding metropolitan populations
need fast and time-saving construction ...
Façade fires are one of the most critical and increasingly frequent hazards in buildings. These
fires pose a great risk to the building occupants. The Grenfell Tower fire, which happened in
2017, killing 72 people, is ...
