Parametric Optimization of Torsional Parameters of Ferrocement "U" Wrapped Beams Using Recent Meta-Heuristic Optimization Algorithms.

Structural elements are subjected to different types of loads, one of which is a torsional load. Due to the complexity of the analysis, torsion was not given much importance in earlier days. With stringent updates in codal provisions and due to architectural modifications, torsion is now considered one of the major parameters for structural design.

A Compact Circular Rectenna for RF-Energy Harvesting at ISM Band.

With low-power gadgets proliferating, the development of a small, effective rectenna is crucial for wirelessly energizing devices. A simple circular patch with a partial ground plane for RF-energy harvesting at ISM (2.45 GHz) band is proposed in this work.
