3D numerical modelling and analysis of a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE)
( EXTRICA , 2020 , Article)Magneto rheological elastomer (MRE) is a smart material consists of a polymer matrix embedded micro/nano-sized magnetic particles. Its mechanical properties are altered by external magnetic fields. In this article, a ... -
A MEASUREMENT CAMPAIGN TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECT OF USING SOFT RAILPADS ON GROUND-BORNE VIBRATIONS FROM UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS
( Society of Acoustics , 2023 , Conference Paper)Railway networks may run through or beneath populated regions and significant landmarks. Hence, the ground-borne vibration caused by the trains might affect nearby buildings, residents, and the sensitive equipment within ... -
A need for functionally graded stiffness femoral stem for reduction in stress shielding and promoting bone growth: Computational analysis
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2017 , Conference Paper)Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is an orthopaedic procedure that is available to reduce pain and restore the functionality of hip joints. THA has been successfully implemented for the last 40 years. However, after more than ... -
A new indirect tensile testing setup to determine stiffness properties of lightly stabilised granular materials
( Australian Geomechanics Society , 2016 , Conference Paper)This paper presents a new indirect diametral tensile (IDT) testing setup for determining the stiffness modulus and Poisson's ratio for the characterisation of lightly stabilized granular base materials required for pavement ... -
Characterization of lightly stabilized granular base materials using monotonic and cyclic load flexural testing
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2016 , Article)Lightly cementitiously stabilized granular materials are generally characterized by their tensile properties and this paper examines the use of monotonic and cyclic load flexural testing to determine the tensile characteristics ... -
Demonstrating the Worth of Recycled Aggregates - A Case Study from Qatar
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Recycled aggregates are widely used in unbound applications in many countries. However, in some areas the materials available may not meet all the requirements of the local specifications. This is the case in Qatar, where ... -
Determination of stiffness modulus and poisson's ratio of lightly stabilized granular materials from indirect diametral tensile testing
( ASTM International , 2016 , Article)Lightly cementitiously stabilized granular materials are generally characterised by their tensile properties that are required for the analysis and design of a pavement structure involving these materials. Tensile properties ... -
Diaphragm shear strength and stiffness of aluminum roof panel assemblies
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)A diaphragm is an assembly of planar structural elements interconnected to each other to provide in-plane bracing system and transmit in-plane forces. The diaphragm geometry, supporting frame, type of the panel profiles, ... -
Effectiveness of FRCM system in strengthening reinforced concrete beams
( International Committee of the SCMT conferences , 2016 , Conference Paper)In this paper, experimental work has been reported to investigate the efficiency of fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) in enhancing the flexural capacity and deformational characteristics of reinforced concrete ... -
Fatigue characterization of lightly cementitiously stabilized granular base materials using flexural testing
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2016 , Article)The fatigue characteristics of a lightly stabilized granular material under traffic loading are important considerations for the design of a pavement containing such material. This paper examines the use of flexural testing ... -
Strengthening of reinforced concrete beams With Textile- Reinforced mortars
(2016 , Master Thesis)This study involves an experimental work for using textile reinforced mortar (TRM) to increase the flexural strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Two different types of textiles namely carbon and Polyparaphenylene ... -
The Influence of Reinforcement Ratio on the Shear Behaviour of Sand Coated Basalt FRP Bars Reinforced Beams
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2022 , Conference Paper)Qatar is known by its harsh corrosive environment that is represented by high periodical humidity, and dust accompanied by temperature fluctuation. Also, geographically Qatar is considered a peninsula, this in turn makes ... -
Transverse vibration and stability of a functionally graded rotating annular disk with a circumferential crack
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)Out of plane vibration of rotating disks limits their performances especially at certain critical speed. The critical speed of these disks may be affected by the presence of defects such as a circumferential crack. In this ...
