Hybrid salp swarm maximum power point tracking algorithm for photovoltaic systems in highly fluctuating environmental conditions.

The maximum power delivered by a photovoltaic system is greatly influenced by atmospheric conditions such as irradiation and temperature and by surrounding objects like trees, raindrops, tall buildings, animal droppings, and clouds. The partial shading caused by these surrounding objects and the rapidly changing atmospheric parameters make maximum power point tracking (MPPT) challenging. This paper proposes a hybrid MPPT algorithm that combines the benefits of the salp swarm algorithm (SSA) and hill climbing (HC) techniques.

Distortion Analysis Method for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing Component Using Thermomechanical Computation with Enhanced Separation and Deposition Algorithm.

This research is devoted to numerical and experimental analysis on deformation of completely removed component induced by wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). The component has the form of a hollow and rectangular thin wall made of deposition layer of stainless steel SS316L on top of substrate plate of mild steel S235. In this research, thermomechanical finite element analysis was applied with Goldak's double ellipsoid as heat-source model and isotropic hardening rule based on von-Mises yield criterion.

Corneal biomechanics in patients with allergic conjunctivitis.

Allergic conjunctivitis (AC) comprises a group of conditions triggered by environmental allergens, substantially diminishing the quality of life, particularly among children and adolescents. The mechanical impact of eye rubbing in patients with AC is known to induce biomechanical alterations in the cornea. Modern instruments enable the detection and quantification of these corneal biomechanical changes.
