This manuscript presents the design and implementation of a standalone embedded system for real‐time temperature monitoring, utilizing commonly available microcontrollers and analog temperature sensors as of 2014. The proposed system emphasizes low cost, low power consumption,…

Real-time obstacle avoidance remains a critical capability for autonomous mobile robots operating in unstructured environments. Ultrasonic sensors, owing to their low cost, simplicity, and robustness, have been widely adopted for proximity detection. This manuscript presents a…

This manuscript investigates vibration control in rotating machinery through the implementation of tuned mass dampers (TMDs). Rotating equipment commonly experiences resonant vibration due to unbalanced forces, aerodynamic loads, and structural interactions. Such vibrations can lead to…

This manuscript presents a comprehensive failure analysis of welded joints in heavy-duty structures, focusing exclusively on technologies and practices available up to 2014. Welded joints are critical stress-bearing elements in bridges, offshore platforms, pressure vessels, and…

Enhancement of heat transfer in plate heat exchangers (PHEs) has been an active area of research within thermal engineering disciplines. The introduction of nanofluids—suspensions of nanoparticles within conventional base fluids—has demonstrated potential to increase the rate…

Seismic vulnerability of multi‐storey reinforced concrete (RC) buildings necessitates effective retrofitting strategies to enhance ductility and strength, thereby reducing collapse risk. This manuscript reviews techniques available up to 2015, evaluates performance via a statistical analysis of…
