Asymmetrical resonant cavity thin film devices designed for vanadium dioxide applications

Abstract

In this paper, Vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin-film devices with two different use cases have been redesigned to introduce an asymmetrical resonant cavity structure. The structure is designed with the goal of enhancing the optical performance of the central VO2 layer and has an anti-reflection property in the cold state. The advantages and limitations of such a design are discussed.

Objective

ปัจจุบันมีงานวิจัยเพื่อออกแบบอุปกรณ์ฟิล์มบางทางแสงเป็นจำนวนมาก เราสามารถใช้คุณสมบัติของวัสดุเปลี่ยนเฟส (PCMs) เพื่อออกแบบอุปกรณ์ที่ทำงานได้สองโหมด อีกทั้งยังมีการออกแบบฟิล์มบางให้มีโครงสร้างเป็นช่องสั่นพ้องเพื่อเพิ่มประสิทธิภาพและปรับย่านการทำงานให้เหมาะสม แต่วิธีการออกแบบช่องสั่นพ้องปกติไม่สามารถใช้ได้กับวัสดุเปลี่ยนเฟส งานวิจัยนี้จะเป็นการเปรียบเทียบวิธีการออกแบบช่องสั่นพ้องที่ไม่สมมาตรเพื่อแก้ปัญหาข้างต้น โดยจะเทียบกับวิธีปกติของอุปกรณ์ฟิล์มบางในงานวิจัยที่มีอยู่ โดยแสดงถึงข้อดีและข้อจำกัดของวิธีการออกแบบใหม่นี้

Auto parts stock systems and management

Nowadays, automobiles are the most widely used form of transportation. This increases the risk of accidents. Therefore, car users prefer to get insurance to reduce the risk in the event of an accident. As for the insurance company, the company will be responsible for damages according to the conditions of the policy. One of the duties of a company's claims department is to procure spare parts to control costs. However, in the case of compensation, there may be erroneous operations, such as ordering the wrong parts or ordering more than necessary. Currently, insurance companies do not have a very efficient management system. This research aims to develop a system for managing and storing automobile parts for insurance companies. The system is designed to be able to track the status of spare parts from storage to disbursement. It uses barcode technology to increase accuracy and reduce errors in data recording. Such a system will help insurance companies manage spare parts systematically, reduce unnecessary costs, and increase efficiency in providing services.

The Innovative Role of Recycled Aggregates in Concrete for Future Construction

This research suggested natural hemp fiber-reinforced ropes (FRR) polymer usage to reinforce recycled aggregate square concrete columns that contain fired-clay solid brick aggregates in order to reduce the high costs associated with synthetic fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs). A total of 24 square columns of concrete were fabricated to conduct this study. The samples were tested under a monotonic axial compression load. The variables of interest were the strength of unconfined concrete and the number of FRRlayers. According to the results, the strengthened specimens demonstrated an increased compressive strength and ductility. Notably, the specimens with the smallest unconfined strength demonstrated the largest improvement in compressive strength and ductility. Particularly, the compressive strength and strain were enhanced by up to 181% and 564%, respectively. In order to predict the ultimate confined compressive stress and strain, this study investigated a number of analytical stress–strain models. A comparison of experimental and theoretical findings deduced that only a limited number of strength models resulted in close predictions, whereas an even larger scatter was observed for strain prediction. Machine learning was employed by using neural networks to predict the compressive strength. A dataset comprising 142 specimens strengthened with hemp FRP was extracted from the literature. The neural network was trained on the extracted dataset, and its performance was evaluated for the experimental results of this study, which demonstrated a close agreement.
