    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.53, No.1, pp. 1-22, 2017, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2017.053.001
    Abstract Forced and natural vibrations of a rectangular pre-stressed orthotropic composite plate containing two neighboring cylindrical cavities whose cross sections are rectangular with rounded-off corners are investigated numerically. It is assumed that all the end surfaces of the rectangular pre-stressed composite plate are simply supported and subjected to a uniformly distributed normal time-harmonic force on the upper face plane. The considered problem is formulated within the Three-Dimensional Linearized Theory of Elastic Waves in Initially Stressed Bodies (TDLTEWISB). The influence of mechanical and geometrical parameters as well as the initial stresses and the effect of cylindrical cavities on the dynamical characteristics of… More >

    A Fuzzy Approach for an IoT-based Automated Employee Performance Appraisal

    Jaideep Kaur1, Kamaljit Kaur2
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.53, No.1, pp. 23-36, 2017, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2017.053.024
    Abstract The ubiquitous Internet of Things (IoT) through RFIDs, GPS, NFC and other wireless devices is capable of sensing the activities being carried around Industrial environment so as to automate industrial processes. In almost every industry, employee performance appraisal is done manually which may lead to favoritisms. This paper proposes a framework to perform automatic employee performance appraisal based on data sensed from IoT. The framework classifies raw IoT data into three activities (Positive, Negative, Neutral), co-locates employee and activity in order to calculate employee implication and then performs cognitive decision making using fuzzy logic. From the experiments carried out it… More >

    Bus Encoded LUT Multiplier for Portable Biomedical Therapeutic Devices

    R. Praveena1, S. Nirmala2
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.53, No.1, pp. 37-47, 2017, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2017.053.039
    Abstract DSP operation in a Biomedical related therapeutic hardware need to be performed with high accuracy and with high speed. Portable DSP hardware’s like pulse/heart beat detectors must perform with reduced operational power due to lack of conventional power sources. This work proposes a hybrid biomedical hardware chip in which the speed and power utilization factors are greatly improved. Multipliers are the core operational unit of any DSP SoC. This work proposes a LUT based unsigned multiplication which is proven to be efficient in terms of high operating speed. For n bit input multiplication n*n memory array of 2n bit size… More >

    Rotational Effects on Magneto-Thermoelastic Stoneley, Love and Rayleigh Waves in Fibre-Reinforced Anisotropic General Viscoelastic Media of Higher Order

    A. M. Abd-Alla1, 2, S. M. Abo-Dahab1, 3, Aftab Khan4
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.53, No.1, pp. 49-72, 2017, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2017.053.052
    Abstract In this paper, we investigated the propagation of the rmo elastic surface waves in fibre-reinforced anisotropic general viscoelastic media of higher order ofnth order, including time rate of strain under the influence of rotation.The general surface wave speed is derived to study the effects of rotation and thermal on surface waves. Particular cases for Stoneley, Love and Rayleigh waves are discussed. The results obtained in this investigation are more general in the sense that some earlier published results are obtained from our result as special cases. Our results for viscoelastic of order zero are well agreed to fibre-reinforced materials. Comparison… More >
