Absorbency Spectrum of Dual Band Metamaterial Absorber
Get PDFThis paper study on the absorbency of dual band metamaterial absorber. The metamaterial absorber is designed based on a rectangular shaped for the patch layer and full ground plane plated as a ground layer. Both layers are used Perfect Electromagnetic Conductor (PEC) with 0.0.35 mm. Meanwhile, TLY-5 material is used as a substrate which is stacked in between the patch and ground. The thickness of the TLY-5 substrate is chosen to be 0.018λ to the respect of the lower resonant frequency. Initially, the rectangular patch is designed horizontally, then being rotated anti-clockwise from 0° to 90° to study the change of the absorbency. Thus, to study the harmonic frequency in order to developed the dual band metamaterial absorber while maintained the perfect absorbency for each band. Maximum absorbency is achieved as the rectangular patch is rotated at 45o. Dual band metamaterial absorber is developed which are resonated at 2.50 GHz with 99.92% absorbency and 4.97 GHz with 99.95% absorbency. Then, the Q-factor of the dual band metamaterial absorbed is evaluated to study the relationship between the substrate’s thickness against the bandwidth at each resonant peak. These features have the potential to be utilized in reducing radar cross-section for stealth applications in satellite and radar communications transmission
Design and Optimization of Disc Brake Using FEA
Get PDFOne of a car\u27s most crucial active safety elements is the disc brake unit, which is situated at the front axle. An essential part of the disc brake system is the brake disc rotor. The rate of friction between the brake pads and the rotor and the amount of heat released into the air define how effective this braking system is. It could harm the brake mechanism and cause it to overheat due to thermal stress which would cause the brake system to break down. Grey cast iron, stainless steel, and aluminium were the three main types of materials used in this study. In addition, three designs solid, semi-ventilated, and ventilated disc were applied in this investigation. As for design and analysis, thermal analysis and Solidworks were used. Based on the results, the ventilated disc brake is the best design in terms of heat transfer.
