A need for functionally graded stiffness femoral stem for reduction in stress shielding and promoting bone growth: Computational analysis
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is an orthopaedic procedure that is available to reduce pain and restore the functionality of hip joints. THA has been successfully implemented for the last 40 years. However, after more than ...
A reduced switch-count SEPIC-based inverter for asymmetrical dual three-phase induction machines
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The interest in multiphase drives has been steadily growing during the last decade due to the promising potentials offered by multiphase machines over conventional three-phase counterpart. In this context, six-phase induction ...

(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The paper reports on the participation of Electrical Engineering students of Qatar University students in Shell Eco Marathon (SEM) competition, which aims at designing and racing energy efficient vehicles. This participation ...
Event-triggered fault estimation and accommodation design for linear systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The problem of event-triggered active fault-tolerant control (E-AFTC) of discrete-time linear systems is addressed in this paper by using an integrated design of event-triggered fault/state estimator with a fault-tolerant ...
Utilizing international design competitions for enhancing 21st century engineering skills: The experience of shell Eco-Marathon
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Nurturing design skills in students is in the heart of all engineering curricula. While academic courses and capstone activities inject the design process in students, involvement in practical design activities is believed ...
Mobile wireless sensor networks applied to the survey of water infrastructures
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
The paper reports our last advances in the realization of mobile wireless sensor networks (WSNs), able to reveal unknown tracks and leakages within underground pipelines used to distribute water. This WSN technology is ...
Design of a hydraulic ankle-foot orthosis
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the design and simulation of an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) to assist human walking. Design requirements were established based on a quantitative study of published data, simulations of human walking, and ...
The characterization of the kinematic and dynamic properties of the ankle joint for an artificial ankle joint design
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The kinematic and dynamic properties of the ankle joint (talocrural region) in normal subjects provide important information for the design of rehabilitation robots, below-knee prostheses, ankle-foot orthoses, and exoskeletons. ...
Towards sustainable society: Design of food waste recycling machine
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Qatar is one of the top 10 countries in the world in terms of per capita food waste; which ranges from 584 to 657 kilograms per year. The combination of high food consumption rate and very low food waste recycle rate, ...
Developing a framework for pre-design process simulation for green buildings
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
There is an increasing awareness towards the construction of sustainable green buildings. Green rating systems worldwide, such as LEED, are providing standards to aid in the construction of green building. During the ...
