Effect of carbon nanotubes on the bonding mechanism of non-corrosive reinforcements to concrete by Alaa, Taha

“…Through testing 30 pullout specimens, parameters including maximum bond strength, normalized bond strength, failure mode, and bar slippage under maximum bond stress were evaluated. Results showed a slight reduction in bond strength, minor improvement in normalized bond strength, increased development length of FRP bars, and decreased reinforcement slippage associated with the ultimate bond stress when MWCNTs were incorporated into the concrete mixture. …”

A control algorithm to increase the efficient operation of wind energy conversion systems under extreme wind conditions by Nyam Jargalsaikhan (17380429)

“…Consequently, WECS can produce electric power at a reduced level until the wind speed reaches 35 m/s and the possibility of shutting down the wind turbines decreases. The proposed algorithm decreases the mechanical stress of wind turbine by decelerating rotational speed rather than turbine torque in strong wind regions. …”
