Vibration of rotating functionally graded Timoshenko nano-beams with nonlinear thermal distribution
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
The vibration analysis of rotating, functionally graded Timoshenko nano-beams under an in-plane nonlinear thermal loading is studied for the first time. The formulation is based on Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. ...
Kinematically admissible folding mechanisms for the progressive collapse of foam filled conical frusta
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, the progressive collapse of foam filled conical frusta is investigated analytically using four different kinematically admissible folding mechanisms with varied straight folds. Comparisons are made between ...
A combined method to model dynamic recrystallization based on cellular automaton and a phenomenological (CAP) approach
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Titanium alloys with high stacking-fault energy show continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) instead of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) during high-temperature deformation. During the CDRX mechanism, new ...
Impact of first-year seminar on student engagement, awareness, and general attitudes toward higher education
(

, 2018 , Article)
Purpose: This study intends to add to the existing body of literature on the impact of a newly implemented first year seminar in the College of Law and Business. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects the ...
A Real Case-Based Study Exploring Influence of Human Age and Gender on Drivers’ Behavior and Traffic Safety
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The demand for understanding the functional relationship between changes in traffic safety level and human-related factors has increased remarkably due to a steady increase in population and traffic volume. Motor vehicle ...
Numerical and experimental investigation on corrugation geometry for metallic tubes under lateral loading
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Energy absorption devices are being used to protect structures from severe damages and reduce injury to occupants during accidents. The integrated characteristics of crash absorption devices can be classified as high energy ...
Evaluation of thermal history and defect in friction stir processing of as-cast magnesium AZ91
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Friction stir processing (FSP) is a thermos-mechanical process for modifying the microstructural and material properties of metals. FSP also can be used for mechanical alloying and producing metal matrix composites. Due ...
Investigating Determinants of Student Satisfaction in the First Year of College in a Public University in the State of Qatar
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2018 , Article)
Purpose. A first-year student's life is a web of interrelated academic and social experiences. Most universities have rigorous processes to achieve excellence or reach high-quality standards, with "Student Satisfaction" ...
Resonator based switching technique between ultra wide band (Uwb) and single/dual continuously tunable-notch behaviors in uwb radar for wireless vital signs monitoring
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
This paper presents a novel resonator that can switch and create three important behaviors within the same antenna using miniaturized capacitors. The resonator was integrated into conventional Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) antenna ...
Electrochemical, morphological, and spectroscopic study of poly(aniline-co-o-bromoaniline) (PA-co-o-BrA) conducting copolymer
(
Institute for Ionics
, 2018 , Article)
A series of moderately conducting and soluble copolymers of poly(aniline-co-o-bromoaniline) (PA-co-o-BrA) having different compositions was obtained by in the situ copolymerization method using different concentrations of ...
