The document presents new 5x5 stiffness matrices for stability and dynamic analyses of line continua. The matrices were derived using energy variational principles and a five-term polynomial shape function. Analyses of four line continua and a portal frame using the new 5x5 matrices found results very close to exact solutions, with average percentage differences of 2.55% for stability and 0.14% for vibration. In contrast, analyses using traditional 4x4 matrices differed greatly from exact results, demonstrating the 5x5 matrices are better suited for stability and dynamic analyses of frame structures.
Evaluation of Fixed Base vs. Base Isolated Building SystemsIJERD Editor
This document compares the seismic performance of a 6-story building designed with a fixed base versus one with a base isolation system. It first describes the modeling and design of the fixed base building in ETABS and manually, where story drift was found to be the controlling factor. Member sizes of C45x45 columns and B45x35 beams were determined to satisfy demands. The modeling of the isolated building in ETABS used response spectrum analysis, with lateral forces much less than the fixed base building. The same member sizes were found to satisfy the reduced demands. Manual calculations of the seismic design parameters and story drift checks are shown for both the fixed base and isolated base buildings according to codes.

Modeling of the damped oscillations of the viscous beams structures with swiv...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Mechanic studies realized on the two dimensional beams structures with swivel joints show that in statics, the vertical displacement is
continuous, but the rotation is discontinuous at the node where there is a swivel joint. Moreover, in dynamics, many authors do not
usually take into account the friction effect, modeling of these structures. We propose in this paper, a modeling of the beams structures
with swivel joints which integrates viscosity effects in dynamics. Hence this work we will present the formulation of motion equations
of such structures and the modal analysis method which is used to solve these equations.
Keywords: Beams, Swivel joint, Viscosity, Vibration, Modal Method.
Nonlinear Viscoelastic Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates – A Multi Scale...rtme
Laminated composite plates are widely used in modern structures. Resins of composites are almost made of
polymers which show time dependent and and in some cases stress dependent behaviour. In this paper, a
laminated composite plate is analysed using a multiscale method. At first, material properties of a lamina is
obtained using an analytical micromechanical approach called simplified unit cell method (SUCM) and
then in macromechanical level, Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) is used to analyse
laminated composite plate. Schapery's integral is used to model nonlinear viscoelastic behaviour of the
matrix. Prony series is considered to define the compliance of matrix. Micromechanical process includes
obtaining overall properties of the composite by SUCM. Both geometrical and material nonlinearity are
taken into account in order to multiscale analysis of laminated composite plate.

This document discusses improvements made to the bilinear degenerated shell element implemented in the finite element analysis software FEASTSMT. Shear locking, where a spurious shear stress is introduced due to the inability of linear elements to accurately model bending, is a known issue.

Bubble functions are added to the membrane strain energy and selective integration is used for the shear energy to address shear locking. Results using the improved element are compared to literature. Implementation in FEASTSMT and testing shows the modifications greatly reduce sensitivity to shear locking.

Improvement of the Shell Element Implemented in FEASTSMTiosrjce
The paper deals with shear locking problem in shell element. Shear locking does not mean complete
rigidity, it refers to unwanted high-stiffness behavior that influences the solution but does not over whelm it, so
that convergence with mesh refinement is slowed but not prevented. In the present study the Bilinear
Degenerated Shell (BDS) element model is improved based on the bubble function for membrane strain energy
and selective integration for the shear energy. After formulation of the shell element, implementation is carried
out in FEASTSMT (FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES). Result of the shell element without any
bubble function terms showed sensitivity to shear locking problem. Use of bubble functions and selective
integration greatly improves the element performance. The results were compared with those available in

Torsional-Distortional Performance of Multi-Cell Trapezoidal Box Girder with ...IJERA Editor
In this study, the torsional and distortional performance of a three triangular cell trapezoidal box girder section was studied using Vlasov’s theory of thin walled structures. The potential energy of a system under equilibrium was used to obtain the governing differential equations of equilibrium for torsionl-distortional analysis of the box structure. The strain modes diagrams representing torsional and distortional interactions of the box girder structure were obtained as well as the distortional bending moment diagram for the box girder structure. These were used to compute Vlasov’s coefficients contained in the differential equations of equilibrium. The fourth order differential equations obtained were solved using method of trigonometric series with accelerated convergence to obtain the distortional and torsional deformations which were compared with torsional and distortional deformations of a single cell mono symmetric box girder section of similar overall dimensions and plates thicknesses. The maximum distortional deformation was found to be 168% lower than that of a single cell mono-symmetric box girder section of the same size and dimensions. The inclined internal web members, which also act as diaphragms, brought about increase in the pure torsional and distortional components of the applied torsional load, resulting to marginal increase in the torsional deformation but major decrease in the distortional deformation.

The document presents results from a parametric study of structural forces in cylindrical thin shell roofs. It includes graphs showing variation of transverse shear force (Tx) for different shell heights (h) and breadths (B). Key observations are that Tx decreases towards the crown and can change sign at 40-45% of the material strength. Tx remains similar along interior panels of broader shells. The conclusions note the importance of reinforcement design at crown sections and where Tx changes sign. Finite element analysis is found to deviate at intersecting lines of complex geometries. Further research into improving FEA at intersections is suggested.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all

Comparison of Maximum Forces
On further increasing the complexity of the simply supported shell by making it multiple barrels, the FEM solution is nearer to
the value of analytical solution. This is because intermediate support has been provided on the shell.
The maximum shear force value at the edges in the FEM solution has also matched with the analytical solution in this case. It was
observed deviating in the case of simply supported and continuous shells. So, the intermediate support has decreased the
discrepancy in the FEM solution.

56/64
For constant values of h, Values of M𝛗 decreases at the edges but it becomes
constant at the crown when B increases.
For constant values of h, values of M𝛗 changes its sign moving from edge towards
the crown.
Lesser the value of B for constant values of h, M𝛗 becomes positive at the edge.
For constant value of B, M𝛗 decreases at the edge when h decreases.
Lowering the values of both B and h, M𝛗 becomes dominant at the intersecting
lines.
For higher value of breadth, M𝛗 is constant at every section ie from edge to the
crown irrespective of height.

60. vi) Influence of Tx (Observations)
60/64
For constant values of h, Values of Tx decreases at the edges but it becomes constant at the crown
when B increases.
For constant values of h, values of Tx change its sign moving from edge towards the crown.
For constant value of h, there is no significant difference in the value of Tx at crown on increasing the
value of B.
Decreasing both B and h, value of Tx increases at edge.
At 40% to 45% of 𝛗k, Tx always changes its sign moving from edge towards the crown for both
constant values of h and B.
61. 10) Conclusions
61/64
From the case studies of the long barrel thin cylindrical shells and the parametric study, following are the key points observed and
conclusions made.
● In interior panels of multiple barrel cylindrical shells of higher breadths, transverse moment has similar value at every
section of the barrel irrespective of height. So similar reinforcements can be provided in the design of those barrels.
● Huge amount of longitudinal compressive force exists in the interior panels of multiple barrel cylindrical shell which becomes
tensile with almost half its magnitude moving from edge towards the crown. The force changes its sign at 40%-45% of the
percentage of the 𝛗k. So special consideration must be done in design of that section.
● With the increase in complexity of simply supported shell ie by making it continuous or multiple barrel, FEM solution deviates
at the intersecting lines of the models and is observed to have a high percentage of error there. So, an analytical based program
considering the continuity of equations of curves in complex structures leads to the nearest results.
● In FEM analysis, when the structure is provided with intermediate support conditions, the accuracy of the analysis
increases.
● FEM doesn’t account for curvature in shell analysis as FEM solution is seen deviating at the crown of cylindrical shells.
Hence, quality of meshing also determines the accuracy of FEM solution.
62. 11) Limitation of the Study
62/64
The classical shell theory develops the higher order differential equations to solve the problems of arbitrary geometries.
Those arbitrary geometries can only be solved approximated by using the finite element method or the numerical evaluation
of infinite series. So, analytical solutions of complex geometries exist only for limited number complexities. But, those
solutions offer vital function in the evaluation of FEM or modern FEM based software. However, to analyze shells with
arbitrary geometry that interact with various supports and edge beams for static and dynamic solution of shells, the practical
approach is only provided by FEM.
63. 12) Further Research Topic for the Researchers
63/64
From this paper, it is seen that with the increase in complexity of the cylindrical shell structure, FEM based solution highly
deviates at the intersecting line. The stiffness matrix used by the FEM solution has been derived in Chapter 2 of this paper.
So, researchers can develop FEM based program and observe why FEM solution lacks proper solution at the intersecting
lines.
