Investigating Kangaroo Legs as Bioinspired Vibration Damper for Heavy Load Machinery
Abstract: Heavy machinery vibration dampening presents many difficulties that frequently result in mechanical breakdowns, decreased efficiency, and higher maintenance costs. To address the demand for more efficient damping systems, this study investigates a bioinspired method based on the structural architecture of kangaroo legs, which are well-known for their innate capacity to absorb shock. The study evaluated the performance of different damper designs using experimental testing and finite element analysis (FEA), with an emphasis on a front-and-back opposite (FAB OPP) orientation.
A Comparative Techno-Economic Analysis of Passive and Active Energy Efficiency Strategies in Buildings Across Diverse Climatic Zones
The global building sector stands as a critical nexus in the effort to mitigate climate change, accounting for over one-third of global energy consumption and a commensurate share of greenhouse gas emissions. This paper conducts a rigorous comparative analysis of two principal paradigms for improving building energy performance: passive design strategies, which leverage architectural form and materials to minimize energy demand, and active systems, which employ mechanical and electrical technologies to control indoor environments.
Trevive (Tree Revive - Nurture All Trees): A tree health monitoring system
Abstract: The increasing globalization, climate change, urbanization, and deforestation are jeopardizing the world’s tree populations and emphasize the necessity of a more nuanced and data-centered approach to proactive conservation efforts as well as sustainable ecosystem management. Traditional tree inspections typically depend on manual services, making them inefficient, slow, labor-intensive, and insignificant for large scope areas and problems.
