The Effect of Anisotropy on the Structure Optimization Using BEM-GSS and BEM-NGGP Algorithms | Chapter 09 | Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science Vol. 1

Aims: A shape optimization technique is developed, using the boundary element method, for two-dimensional anisotropic structures to study the effects of anisotropy on the displacements and stresses, then minimize weight while satisfying certain constraints upon stresses and geometry.

Study Design:  Original Research Paper.

Place and Duration of Study: Jamoum University College, Mathematics Department, between June 2016 and July 2017.

Methodology: The shape design sensitivity analysis of a two-dimensional anisotropic structure using a singular formulation of the boundary element method is investigated to study the effects of anisotropy on the displacements and stresses. An Implicit differentiation technique of the discretized boundary integral equations is performed to produce terms that contain derivatives of the fundamental solutions employed in the analysis. This technique allows the coupling between optimization technique and numerical boundary element method (BEM) to form an optimum shape design algorithm that yields shape design sensitivities of the displacement and stress fields for anisotropic materials with very high accuracy. The fundamental solutions of displacements and tractions in terms of complex variables employed in the analysis. The boundary element method was developed and implemented for use with the golden-section search (GSS) algorithm and neutrosophic goal geometric programming (NGGP) algorithm as a numerical optimization technique for minimizing weight while satisfying all of the constraints.

Results: The proposed method has been verified by using the two-dimensional plate with an elliptical hole as the numerical example. The numerical results show that the proposed method is suitable and effective tool for the computer implementation of the solution.

Conclusion: From the research that has been performed, it is possible to conclude that the optimal shape of the two-dimensional plate with an elliptical hole is crucial when elastic field is sensitive to boundary shape. Also from this knowledge of the effects of anisotropy on the displacements and stresses, we can design various anisotropic structures to meet specific engineering requirements and utilize within which to place new information can be more effective.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Study on Processing Method Influences the Effect of Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Consumption on Blood Lipid Profile in Rats | Chapter 8 | Current Research and Development in Chemistry Vol.1

Cassava is consumed in many tropical countries and is fast becoming the major raw material of many diets, especially in the bakery, brewery and pharmaceutical industries. In a study to determine the effects of various formulations of Cassava feeds on blood lipid profile in rats. Forty adult Wistar rats weighing between 120 and 150 g were divided into 4 groups of 10 rats each. The rats were acclimatized for one week; fed with different formulations of Cassava feeds adlibitum, after which the rats were allotted into groups. Group 1 was fed on Garri; group 2 on Cassava flour; group 3 on Tapioca, and the control group (group 4) on normal chow. After 4 weeks, each animal was anaesthetized by exposure to chloroform vapour and blood samples collected by cardiac puncture. Group 1 diet (Garri) significantly increased HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration and significantly decreased LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration (p<0.05) compared with the control group. In Group 2 (Cassava flour), t...

Ethnopharmacological Survey among Traditional Medicine Practitioners in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) for the Management of Pathologies such as Malaria, ENT Diseases, Diarrhea, Typhoid Fever and Anemia | Chapter 05 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Traditional Medicine Practitioners (TMPs) of Côte d'Ivoire are familiar with the therapeutic herbs. Medicinal plants have been shown to be useful in the treatment of common diseases such as malaria (KROA, 2004) and diabetes (N'GUESSAN et al, 2013) in several studies and scientific study. In the Abidjan District, the current policy is to integrate traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia into the national health system in order to improve population health coverage, particularly in the management of commonly encountered diseases such as malaria, ENT diseases, diarrhoea, typhoid fever, and anaemia. This research aims to increase the use of traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia in the national health system. Over the course of three months, fifty (50) PMTs in the District of Abidjan participated in this study. Plant therapists accounted for 30 of the 50 PMTs polled at the end of the study, or 60%. Traditional medicine centres use 61 types of medicinal plants from 36 famili...
