Evaluation of 316L Stainless Steel Part Fabrication Using Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing: A Guideline for Process Selection
(Mechanical Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
Due to its favorable mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance and high carbon content, Stainless steel 316L is widely used in many applications including marine, biomedical and aerospace industries. With additive ...
COMBUSTION CHARACTERISTICS AND EMISSION OF A DI DIESEL ENGINE UTILIZING NEW INDUCTION MANIFOLD DESIGNS AND RUNNING ON ALTERNATIVE FUEL BLENDS
(Mechanical Engineering, 2018 , Master Thesis)
The demands for increasing the swirl in the combustion chamber and for decreasing the exhaust emissions on diesel engines have increased rapidly over the past few years. Consequently, the researchers’ attention has been ...
EXPERIMENTAL DETECTION OF LOCALIZED SURFACE DEFECTS IN BALL BEARINGS USING VIBRATION ANALYSIS
(Mechanical Engineering, 2018 , Master Thesis)
Experimental Detection of Localized Surface Defects in Ball Bearings Using Vibration Analysis
Bearings play a crucial role in the functioning of rotating machinery. Any failure
of this critical component may cause severe ...
COLLAPSE BEHAVIOR AND ENERGY ABSORPTION OF CORRUGATED TAPERED TUBES
(Mechanical Engineering, 2018 , Master Thesis)
Thin-walled structures have been widely used in energy absorption and safety applications such as automotive vehicles and locomotives, due to their lightweight, progressive folding modes, and reduced manufacturing costs. ...
NEW APPROACH OF PIPELINES JOINING USING FIBER REINFORCED PLASTICS COMPOSITES
(Mechanical Engineering, 2018 , Master Thesis)
It is well known that maintenance of pipelines failures due to leakage or rupture caused by either corrosion or lack of strength is a significant challenge for pipelines engineers. Pipelines joining is considered as a ...
Investigating The Potential Of Recycling Flared Hydrocarbon Gas In An Industrial Burner
(Mechanical Engineering, 2018 , Master Thesis)
Flare gas is considered a global environmental concern. Flaring contributes to
wasting limited material and energy resources, economic loss and greenhouse gas
emissions. Utilizing flared gas as fuel feed to industrial ...
EXPERIMENTAL AND CFD INVESTIGATION OF SOLAR CENTRAL RECEIVER TUBES
(Mechanical Engineering, 2018 , Master Thesis)
Lower electricity cost corresponds to high efficiency, which in turn corresponds to high operating temperatures in Concentrated Solar Power technology. Central receiver of such system constitutes 15% of the cost and plays ...
Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Response For Misalignment In Coupled Shafts
(Mechanical Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
Preceded by unbalance, misalignment is the second most common fault in
rotating machinery. The impact of misalignment fault on equipment can be severe and
may considerably shorten the machine’s lifetime. This dissertation ...
UV Stabilization and Flame Retardancy of Polyethylene for Piping Applications
(Mechanical Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
This work presented an investigation of the ultra violet (UV) stability and flame
retardancy of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and low-density
polyethylene manufactured in autoclave process (LDPE-A), that are ...
Numerical Analysis of a Sacrificial Cladding Panel Subjected to Localized Near-Field Impulsive Load
(Mechanical Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
Extensive research focus had been given to sacrificial sandwiched panels used
to mitigate the effects of blast loads. This is due to their ability to distribute the load
and absorbing significant portions of the blast ...
