Volume 5, Issue 4 - 2 Articles
This issue presents a collection of research addressing explainable artificial intelligence, predictive maintenance, fluid mechanics, and engineering product design. The published papers examine the use of LIME and SHAP techniques to improve transparency and interpretability in SSD failure prediction systems for large-scale data center operations, and an extended fluid mechanics investigation of detergent bottle structures focusing on outlet geometry, viscosity effects, air-vent configurations, and discharge performance. Collectively, these contributions highlight the growing importance of explainable AI, data-driven maintenance strategies, industrial decision support, fluid-flow analysis, and engineering optimization in improving the reliability, efficiency, and usability of both advanced technological systems and everyday consumer products.

Explainable AI for SSD Failure Prediction: Using LIME and SHAP for Transparency
by Saurav Kant Kumar
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page # 1-16, 2026; DOI: 10.55708/js0504001
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly crucial for modern data centers for automating tasks ranging from anomaly detection to predictive maintenance. Nevertheless, a significant limitation of underlying machine learning (ML) models is their “black box” nature. This lack of transparency limits trust among stakeholders who require visibility into model decisions. We address this lack of… Read More

An Extended Investigation of Detergent Bottle Structure Based on Fluid Mechanics
by Yeonwoo Kwon and Eunsung Jekal
Journal of Engineering Research and Sciences, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page # 17-23, 2026; DOI: 10.55708/js0504002
Abstract: This study aims to quantitatively evaluate how structural design factors of liquid detergent bottles—such as the size, position, and shape of the outlet hole, material, and the presence of an air vent—affect the discharge characteristics of viscous detergents from the perspective of fluid mechanics. Using hydrostatic pressure and Bernoulli’s principle, we theoretically derive the influence… Read More
