Comprehensive and Validated Computational Investigations of Structural Integrity, Aerodynamic Behavior, and Its Turbulence Characteristics on Agricultural Drone with and without Pa... by Beena Stanislaus Arputharaj, Shyam Sundar Jayakumar, Senthil Kumar Solaiappan, Vijayanandh Raja, Parvathy Rajendran, Maheswari Krishnamoorthy, Hari Prasath Jeyaraj, Senthil Kumar Madasamy, Ragavendra Thaiyan Rajendran, Ali Mahmood Ahmed

“…The proposed AD has increased stability compared to conventional ADs due to employing a coaxial rotor instead of one of the conventional rotors. The proposed AD can be customized to accommodate a wide range of design requirements; however, this investigation uses a payload weight of 2.5 kg. …”

Study on Energy Density Distribution and Mass Fractal of Deep Saturated Coal Samples under Uniaxial Stepwise High Stressed Loading and Unloading Path by Xiaoyu Chen, Qiangling Yao, Changhao Shan, Liqiang Yu, Liang Chen, Qiang Xu, Ze Xia, Liu Zhu

“…By calculating the energy density of deep coal samples in each stage before the peak, the change of energy density indexes between saturated and dried samples is different from relative shallow samples, and the energy density indexes do not decrease but increases instead. However, the proportion of each energy is generally positive and inverted “U”-type distribution. …”
