TL;DR: In this article, the performance of chitosan/hydroxyapatite (Cs/HAp) composite nanofiber membrane prepared by electrospinning process for the removal of lead, cobalt and nickel ions from aqueous solution was investigated.
Abstract: The performance of chitosan/hydroxyapatite (Cs/HAp) composite nanofiber membrane prepared by electrospinning process for the removal of lead, cobalt and nickel ions from aqueous solution was investigated. The prepared nanofiber membranes were characterized by FTIR, SEM and BET analysis. A response surface methodology based on Box–Behnken Design (BBD) was used to predict the average diameter of electrospun nanofibers. In optimum conditions (voltage of 18.90 kV, tip-collector distance of 15.60 cm and flow rate of 0.43 ml/h), the minimum experimental fiber diameter was obtained 198 nm which was in good agreement with the predicted value by the BBD analysis (200.6 nm). Then, the adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of different adsorption parameters, such as contact time, initial concentration and temperature in a batch system. The kinetic and equilibrium data were well described by pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters were evaluated to obtain the nature of adsorption process onto the Cs/HAp composite nanofibers. The obtained results of reusability of nanofiber membrane after five sorption–desorption cycles offer promising potential in industrial activities.

TL;DR: In this paper, simple analytical expressions are presented for large amplitude free vibration and postbuckling analysis of functionally graded beams rest on nonlinear elastic foundation subjected to axial force, where Euler-Bernoulli assumptions together with Von Karman's strain displacement relation are employed to derive the governing partial differential equation of motion.
Abstract: In this study, simple analytical expressions are presented for large amplitude free vibration and post-buckling analysis of functionally graded beams rest on nonlinear elastic foundation subjected to axial force. Euler–Bernoulli assumptions together with Von Karman’s strain–displacement relation are employed to derive the governing partial differential equation of motion. Furthermore, the elastic foundation contains shearing layer and cubic nonlinearity. He’s variational method is employed to obtain the approximate closed form solution of the nonlinear governing equation. Comparison between results of the present work and those available in literature shows the accuracy of this method. Some new results for the nonlinear natural frequencies and buckling load of the FG beams such as the effect of vibration amplitude, elastic coefficients of foundation, axial force, and material inhomogenity are presented for future references.

TL;DR: Using the genetic algorithm, a total harmonic distortion minimization process is directly applied to the line-to-line voltage of the inverter, indicating superiority of this approach over the commonly used phase-voltage THD minimization approach.
Abstract: In this paper, total harmonic distortion (THD) minimization of the output voltage of multilevel inverters is discussed. An efficient approach in reducing the harmonic contents of the inverter's output voltage is THD minimization. In multilevel inverters with a fundamental frequency switching strategy (each switch turning on and off once per output cycle), the switching angles can be selected so that the output THD is minimized (such as the so-called optimal-minimization-of-THD strategy). To obtain the optimum switching angles, an optimization algorithm is applied to the output-voltage THD. In three-phase multilevel inverters, the optimization algorithm is commonly applied to the phase voltage of the inverter. This results in the minimum THD in phase voltage but not necessarily in the line-to-line minimum THD, whereas in three-phase applications, the line-voltage harmonics are of the main concern from the load point of view. In this paper, using the genetic algorithm, a THD minimization process is directly applied to the line-to-line voltage of the inverter. This paper is based on a seven-level inverter. To verify the simulation results, a seven-level-cascaded-H-bridge-inverter-based hardware prototype, including an ATMEGA32 AVR microcontroller, has been implemented. Both simulation and experimental results indicate superiority of this approach over the commonly used phase-voltage THD minimization approach.
