There are innumerable methods for solving continuous beams, including the slope and deflection method, the moment distribution method, the flexibility matrix method, and the stiffness matrix method. Each method has its own identity. The final results of all four methods are shear force, bending moment, slope, and deflection. Even if all approaches yield the same result. The issue now is the time duration of those methods. One assessment should take approximately over thirty minutes to complete. Another issue is that the entire analysis will be repeated even if only one parameter is changed. Computer-based analysis is the best solution to all of these problems. Python is a computer programming language that has recently gained popularity due to its syntax simplicity. The code can be executed as soon as it is written in this case. A four-span continuous beam will be analyzed using Python in this paper, and the results will be compared to the conventional stiffness method. Initially, inputs are sent to Python using finite element procedures. The analysis is performed with Numpy, and the results are printed. Numpy is a Python library that is capable of performing all mathematical analysis, particularly on arrays and matrices. The analysis in this paper is carried out using Google colab as a plot form and Numpy as a tool. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with an analytical technique used to estimate and resolve the steady-state Frank-Kamenetskii problem. A homotopy perturbation method is applied to solve the nonlinear steady-state thermal explosion in a vessel. Additionally, using the Matlab software, the numerical simulation of the problem is described in this study. The interior temperature of the vessel is estimated and analysed to variations in the Frank-Kamenetskii and geometry parameters. A graphic representation of a vessel's temperature result is provided to demonstrate the solution, and theoretical discussion is had. The results of the analytical and numerical methods show good agreement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The pandemic Covid-19 accelerated the evolution of education 4.0. The online teaching and learning activities are promoted by movement control which had been enforced globally. Teaching and learning in engineering, which very much relied on practical and face-to-face by nature, are challenged by rapid process of adoption and adaptation by both learners and teachers. In this paper, such process is reported on one of the most challenging subjects in engineering education – advanced calculus. The design and strategy of teaching, the teaching process, the tools, the assessment, and students' feedback are discussed. Majority of the students were able to accept the new norm of teaching and learning, with a few still opt to resume to face-to-face learning. As for teacher, multiple platforms and delivery methods, including interactive methods are suggested to retain the attention and maintain the performance of the students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper recommend a new topology of 27 level Multi Level Inverter (MLI) and two different switching pattern scheme such as Multi Carrier Phase Disposition Pulse Width Modulation Technique (PD-PWM) and Half Height method (HH). The control signal is processed through fuzzy logic for performing closed loop speed control in the proposed inverter. The proposed inverter has been analyzed by developing a mathematical model through Fourier series and also the performance of the MLI such as RMS voltage and THD equations which have been derived for the theoretical validation with existing inverter. The features of the multilevel inverters (MLIs) are to produce a good quality of AC supply with low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The main feature of the proposed inverter is to reduce number of switching devices and reduction in gate driver circuits. In this study, the MATLAB software is utilized for the verification and validation of practical feasibility in the proposed inverter. The proposed MLI has been implemented in laboratory prototype model for practical feasibility and performance parameters have been analyzed and verified through simulation as well as prototype model.
