Fractography of compression failed carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite laminates

Widespread usage of composites in the advanced technologies, has led to the study of the failure modes by which these composites fail, as identification and hence the interpretation of these characteristic fracture features is necessary to provide valuable information in understanding of the failure behavior of composites. Hence, in this paper, our effort has been in the study of the fractographic features in the carbon...

Wind data analysis of Silchar (Assam, India) by Rayleigh’s and Weibull methods

  In this study, wind energy potential of Silchar, the Southern part of Assam, India was analyzed for the period of five years from 2003 - 2007. The wind velocity was recorded diurnally, which was averaged over 24 h in a day. The sampling was done after every 3 h. Diurnal wind speed variation shows the actual picture of wind regime of a place. The average wind velocity in Silchar is about 3.11 kmph, which is...
