Calculation of the Point of Application (Centre of Pressure) of Force and Torque Imparted on a Spherical Object from Gyroscope Sensor Data, Using Sports Balls as Practical Examples

This study investigates the determination of the centre of pressure (COP) on spherical sports objects such as aluminum lotion cricket balls and footballs using gyroscope data from Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs).Conventional pressure sensors are not suitable for capturing the tangential forces responsible for torque generation.This research prese

Neuro-evolutionary models for imbalanced classification problems

Training an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm is not trivial, which requires optimizing a set of weights and biases that increase dramatically with the increasing capacity of the neural network resulting in such hard optimization problems.Essentially, over recent decades, stochastic search algorithms have shown remarkable abilities for addr

Fabrication and Characterization of Al6061-Nano Al2O3 Composites by Ultrasonic Assisted Stir Casting followed by Heat Treatment and Hot Forging

The present work comprises the development of Al6061/nano Al2O3 composites with 0 to 4 weight percent in steps of 0.5 wt.% of nano alumina particles by using ultrasonic assisted stir casting.Casted samples were subjected to heat treatment and hot forging.Further forged and heat-treated gear blanks of nano Al2O3 (0 to 3.0 weight %) reinforced nanoco
