Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are transforming industries, from environmental monitoring to precision agriculture. As these drones become increasingly integrated into our daily lives, the need for quieter, safer, and more efficient propulsion systems has never been greater. That’s where our project, the Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) for Small UAVs, comes in. This innovative propulsion technology…
This blog presents a novel unambiguous monopulse direction-finding antenna system developed at NUST-SEECS. The proposed system is not only simple in structure, compared to state-of-the-art, but also have polarization reconfigurability feature. I. Background: Monopulse radars are used widely to measure the distance, speed, and angle of arrival of targets at a high speed of operation,…
In the face of increasing environmental concerns, the construction industry is transforming sustainable and eco-friendly practices. The cities and communities heavily rely on reinforced concrete structures for various infrastructure projects due to their durability and strength. One promising avenue is the utilization of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC), which minimizes the environmental impact by reducing the…
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of bridges is essential for ensuring their sustainability, reliability, and longevity. Bridges, as critical infrastructure, play a vital role in transportation. However, the impact of service loads and other stresses can cause damage, necessitating effective health monitoring and assessment. One of the types of health monitoring used in past was visual…
Introduction Regular cleaning and inspection of conduits and pipes is essential for maintaining their strength and safety and extending their life. Nevertheless, pipeline cleaning by hand is an inefficient use of resources in terms of time and money, necessitating a large staff and endangering worker safety. Therefore, to get beyond the drawbacks of conventional methods,…
