Increase in number of cars without commensurate increase in the number of transport facilities and infrastructures has led to diverse traffic problems in many Nigerian cities like Akure.Factors which contribute to increase in the numbers of cars owned in Akure metropolis were investigated in this study.The study area was divided into three density
This study presents an appropriate filler metal or welding electrode to join aluminum alloy (AA2024-T3) sheet of 3.2 mm thickness with a square butt joint using Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process.This process was carried out at three different welding currents with three various filler metals: ER4047 (12% Si), ER4043 (5% Si), and ER5356 (5% Mg
Zirconium alloys, are usually used as fuel cladding materials in VVER (water-cooled, water-moderated energy reactor) type reactors, mainly, due to their low neutron absorption cross-section, desirable mechanical properties, and good corrosion resistance under reactor operating conditions.During exposure to water at high temperature, water Dryer Doo
Global optimization for nonlinear function is a challenging issue.In this paper, an improved monarch butterfly algorithm based on local search and differential evolution is proposed.Local search strategy is first Rolling Pin embedded into original monarch butterfly optimization to enhance the searching capability.Then, differential evolution is inc
