Nonlinear finite element analysis of fibre-reinforced polymer/concrete joints
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
The objective of this research work is to simulate the interfacial shear response of fibre-reinforced polymer/concrete joints using a micromechanics-based concrete approach. The M4 version of the microplane concrete theory ...
Development and Evaluation of Fibrous Fluid Formulations for Horizontal Gas and Oil Well Cleanout
(2021 , Master Thesis)
Cuttings substantial buildup on the downside of the wellbore is a challenging problem that encounters oil and gas drilling operations. Field reports indicate that inefficient hole cleaning increases the nonproductive time ...
A Flexible Gastric Gas Sensor Based on Functionalized Optical Fiber
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
We present a gastric gas sensor based on conjoined dual optical fibers functionalized with sensitive optical dyes for sensing gases in both fluidic and gaseous environments. The sensor aims to sense various concentrations ...
White graphene-cobalt oxide hybrid filler reinforced polystyrene nanofibers for selective oil absorption
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In this work, stable hydrophobic nanocomposites are made from electrospun fibers of polystyrene (PS) containing a hybrid filler combination of (i) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and (ii) cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanomaterials. ...
Mesoporous silica filled smart super oleophilic fibers of triblock copolymer nanocomposites for oil absorption applications
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Article)
Super oleophilic fibers of styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) block copolymer/mesoporous silica (MS) nanocomposites are fabricated by electrospinning, and their oil absorption efficiency is monitored by following two different ...
Introduction of Biopolymer Composites: What to do in Electronics?
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2017 , Book chapter)
Environment friendly, biodegradable and nontoxic materials especially from renewable resources are attaining great levels of attention nowadays. Biopolymers contribute a very significant division of materials through which ...
Settling behavior of fine cuttings in fiber-containing polyanionic fluids for drilling and hole cleaning application
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
For efficient drilling operations, cuttings transport within the oil and gas wellbore is fundamental. Inadequate hole cleaning results in many problems including reduced rate of penetration, increased torque, bit wearing, ...
Mechanistic modeling of wellbore cleanout in horizontal and inclined wells
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
The accumulation of rock cuttings, proppant, and other solid debris in the wellbore due to inadequatecleanout remarkably impedes field operations. This article presents a new hole cleaning model, whichcalculates the Critical ...
High toughness resorbable brushite-gypsum fiber-reinforced cements
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
The ideal bone substitute material should be mechanically strong, biocompatible with a resorption rate matching the rate of new bone formation. Brushite (dicalcium phosphate dihydrate) cement is a promising bone substitute ...
Stromal cell-derived factor loaded co-electrospun hydrophilic/hydrophobic bicomponent membranes for wound protection and healing
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
Chronic wounds are one of the key concerns for people with diabetes, frequently leading to infections and non-healing ulcers, and finally resulting in the amputation of limbs/organs. Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) ...
