TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated and reviewed approaches to modeling laminated composite plates and assessed their suitability and functionality, and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each model and how accurate and efficient the models can predict the transverse shear.

TL;DR: A review of the literature suggests that the potential for smaller scale, local tidal power generation from shallow near-shore sites has not yet been investigated as mentioned in this paper, and a considerable body of research is currently being performed to quantify available tidal energy resources and to develop efficient devices with which to harness them.

TL;DR: In this paper, numerical analyses of commercially available metal-oxides as potential nano-additives for paraffin in thermal storage applications are focused on numerical model based on enthalpy-porosity technique which incorporates natural convection and transient variations in thermo-physical properties of nano-PCM.

TL;DR: Whether research and prosthetic education/training to date has significantly improved the understanding of what makes a good socket is questioned and it is suggested that a new approach is needed which can overcome some of the inherent problems of designing and manufacturing a comfortable high quality socket.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rotary hydraulic flow control valve has been presented for high flow rate fluid power systems. But the proposed design enables utilisation of single-stage valves in power hydraulics operating at high flow rates regimes.
