ABSTRACT

Put your abstract here. Use single spacing and do not exceed 250 words. The abstract should preferably be between 100 and 200 words. The abstract should be clear, descriptive and provide brief information on the problem. This should generally be followed by a statement regarding the methodology used and a brief summary of the results. The abstract should end with a comment on the significance of the results or with a brief conclusion.

Keywords: (maximum of 5 keywords separated by semi colon(;))

HEADING LEVEL 1

Example:

Mason (1948) is one of the first researchers to present a simple equivalent electric circuit for PCT with the use of transmission line technique. Numerous studies have been published to investigate the performance of PCTs under different situations based on this technique (Redwood 1961). Challis & Harrison (1983) and Alwi et al. (1996) used the same technique but analyzed this circuit by using Z-transform. To study the acoustic properties of silicon–polymer composites (SPCs), (Manh et al. 2014) employed the Mason circuit to provide the identical of impedance curve of SPC from the experimental results. The first problem focuses on the low ductility in ceramic materials (NDT Resources Center 2013). Angeli & Mosca (2001) used a Lyapunov-based approach that requires an in-depth knowledge of the plant in the selection of controllers. The design of the mixed controllers is based on the D-GK iterations (Bates & Postlethwaite 2002).
