Experimental detection of localized surface defects in ball bearings using vibration analysis
(
Canadian Acoustical Association
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
This study aimed at the monitoring of bearing health condition, based on vibration measurement. For that purpose, small circular defects were seeded on outer and inner rings of similar bearings, by using the principle of ...
PREDICTING ROAD ROUGHNESS PROFILE USING DYNAMIC VEHICLE ACCELERATIONS AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
(
Society of Acoustics
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
Road roughness can cause ride discomfort and contribute to the emission of ground-borne noise and vibration. A robust monitoring regime of road roughness is essential for the efficient maintenance of a country's road ...
Active control of noise in ventilation ducts
(
Canadian Acoustical Association
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Ventilation ducts are often lined with passive absorption material for both thermal insulation and noise and vibration reduction. However, the noise reduction performance is not significant at low frequencies. Active Noise ...
Comparison of SimTraffic and VISSIM Microscopic Traffic Simulation Tools in Modeling Roundabouts
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Abstract SimTraffic and VISSIM are two microscopic traffic simulation tools that are capable of modeling arterial roads with signalized intersections and roundabouts. This study compares the performance of the two simulation ...
Engaging Engineering Students in Active Learning and Critical Thinking through Class Debates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Within the program of engineering, typically there are courses that are heavily dependent on mathematics and derivations of fundamental concepts. A lot of active learning can be done in these classes by using the engineering ...
A weight-management camp followed by weekly after-school lifestyle education sessions as an obesity intervention for Qatari children: a prospective cohort study
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Background Weight-management camp interventions for obese children are eff ective for short-term weight loss. However, there is little evidence indicating how gains made with such interventions can be maintained in the ...
MODAL CHARACTERIZATION AND ROAD ROUGHNESS RECONSTRUCTION USING DYNAMIC VEHICLE ACCELERATIONS AND ANNS
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Road networks are considered huge and critical infrastructures that support the development and growth of societies. These infrastructures deteriorate over time due to regular usage and/or external environmental factors. ...
Probabilistic Integration of Demand Flexibilities in a Renewable Energy-Assisted Community Network
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a novel decision-making tool aiding community operators in optimally procuring their energy needs from available supply sources while incorporating potential demand-side flexibilities. The supply sources ...
Spatial data infrastructure (sdi) in oman and qatar - Current status and perspectives
(
International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Urban infrastructure deals with various objects, such as multi-floor buildings, underground utilities, and other typical two-dimensional (2D) geographic information system (GIS) objects. Currently, Oman and Qatar authorities ...
Consumers' Willingness to Invest in Smart Home Technologies Using Machine Learning: A Survey-Based Analysis in Qatar
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the consumers' willingness to invest in smart home technologies and the savings they expect by using machine learning. Data is gathered using questionnaires from 2,014 consumers who participated in ...
