Accurate machining control is indispensable for the smart factories of tomorrow. Variations in controller responses may cause unacceptable process deviations during machining leading to productivity losses and possible damage. In the present work, a complex order PIα+jβDγ+jθ(COPID) controller was designed to effectively control surface roughness generation while machining CNT Al-Mg hybrid composites. Performance of the…

Increased recycling of PVC has become a requirement in industrial and scientific research level. Several studies will be realized. To confirm and check the recycled materials performance, it will be important to go through numerical modeling, which consists not only in validating the results of the experiments, but also in predicting what happens when the…

This research aimed at developing a method of glaze material making from used glass bottle waste combined with kaolin. Then, the microstructure and hardness level of glaze products were characterized. Furnace heaters were used in research to heat glaze material by varying the holding time of 30, 45 and 60 minutes. The composition of glaze…

CdTe-based photovoltaic (PV) cells provide the lowest EBPT (energy payback time) and emit less amount of GHG (green house gases) among different types of PV cells. Thus, it is very essential to enhance the efficiency of CdTe-based solar cells. A high efficiency CdTe/CdS p-i-n heterostructure solar cell is designed and the performance of the cell…

This article describes the modeling procedure of a direct resistive heat model of the molybdenum sheet and its simulation with electrodes made from various materials. The main characteristic of the proposed model is its dynamic behavior, because model considers the movement of the molybdenum sheet. The simulation results are mutually compared and the optimal material…
