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 ...
A Finite Element Investigation of Existing Pipework Vibration Acceptance Criteria
(Mechanical Engineering, 2020 , Master Thesis)
In this thesis, a literature review was conducted to cover the assessment techniques for Oil and Gas (O&G) pipework that includes Small Bore Pipes (SBP). The various methods that were studied are the most commonly found ...
Assessment Of Turbulence Models For Hydrofracturing Slurry Transport Simulation In Horizontal Perforated Pipe
(Mechanical Engineering, 2020 , Master Thesis)
Hydraulic fracture is a well stimulation process that involves injecting
pressurized liquid at high velocity to initiate and propagate a fracture in the deep rock
formations through which hydrocarbons are extracted ...
Turbuelence Modeling and Valication to Predict Velocity Profiles in Close-Coupled Five-Gore Elbows
(Mechanical Engineering, 2021 , Dissertation)
This research work aims to validate advanced turbulence modeling techniques used to predict complex flows in close-coupled five-gore elbows and similar complex geometries using data from 2016 ASHRAE RP-1682 (Study to ...
Design of Embedded 3D Printed Sensors on a Robot for Monitoring and Capturing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
(Mechanical Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
Gas detection is a critical task in dangerous environments that involve hazardous or contaminant gases. Quick detection of gas leaks and their rectification ensure the protection of lives and safeguards equipment installed ...
Novel Process for Designing Topology Optimized Femoral Stems Printable by Metal Additive Manufacturing
(Mechanical Engineering, 2019 , Master Thesis)
Total hip arthroplasty faces an issue of the high cost and risks of revision
surgeries. Studies show that more than 50% of the revision surgeries are the
consequence of the aseptic loosening of the implant. The cause ...
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 ...
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 ...
Integrated supercritical co2 power cycle with concentrated solar power tower with 50mw power capacity
(Mechanical Engineering, 2021 , Master Thesis)
As a part of the world's efforts to mitigate the impact of global warming via carbon neutrality plan by 2050, a novel supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power cycle is presented that is integrated with concentrated solar ...
