Ok now the thing is that I want basically want to publish a research paper in which I am thinking of doing comparitive analysis between I beams and C-channels according to the structure which I had designed and the discussions I have been doing with you guys since a long time. What I desire to show in that research paper is that first I will be showing the electrical side of the panels which we have installed in a particular location. Since this is a 30 kw system, hence I will be showing a detailed helioscope report showing the annual production through this system. Secondly I will be showing the CFD analysis , FEA and will show that the material is safe since its factor of safety is greater than 2. Then I will be showing the sizes and weight of the I beams that would be needed in order to resist the load , also keeping in mind the wind effects. Lastly I will be showing, the sizes and weight of C channels if we would have used that instead of I beams.
Now I wanted to ask that is there uniqueness in this idea. And is this idea good enough to be published for a research paper? And if yes then can you help me guys , in which journal should I try publishing the article? Or if you dont have any idea , then please can you guide me as to where can I get help from in publishing a research paper? @Retsam @BenLewis @jousefm @paulosantos @kimimiless?
