An H∞ cooperative fault recovery control of multi-agent systems
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this work, an H∞ performance fault recovery control problem for a team of multi-agent systems that is subject to actuator faults is studied. Our main objective is to design a distributed control reconfiguration strategy ...
A systematic visual methodology to design ionic liquids and ionic liquid mixtures: Green solvent alternative for carbon capture
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Ionic liquids (ILs) have gained great interest recently to substitute volatile organic compounds (VOCs), since their properties can be tuned to match certain targets and applications. Further to this, another possibility ...
Effect of fuel content on the electrocatalytic methanol oxidation performance of Pt/ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by solution combustion
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
We report the effect of combustion synthesis conditions on Pt nanoparticle (NP) supported on ZnO (Pt/ZnO) electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The Pt/ZnO NPs are prepared by solution combustion synthesis ...
Simultaneous fault detection and consensus control design for a network of multi-agent systems
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The problem of simultaneous fault detection and consensus control (SFDCC) of linear continuous-time multi-agent systems is addressed in this paper. A mixedH?/H-formulation of the SFDCC problem is presented and distributed ...
Harvesting of intact microalgae in single and sequential conditioning steps by chemical and biological based – flocculants: Effect on harvesting efficiency, water recovery and algal cell morphology
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Quick algae harvesting methodologies relating optimum flocculent dose (DOpt.), percentage harvesting efficiency (%HE) and percentage water recovery (%WRecovery) to the in-situ hydrodynamic properties of water-algae systems ...
Combustion synthesized A0.5Sr0.5MnO3-δ perovskites (where, A = La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Pr, Dy, and Y) as redox materials for thermochemical splitting of CO2
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, A0.5Sr0.5MnO3 perovskites (where, A = La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Pr, Dy, and Y) were examined towards thermochemical CO2 splitting (CS) reaction. The solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method was employed for the ...
A two-level optimization approach for robust aircraft routing and retiming
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
We investigate the Robust Aircraft Routing and Retiming Problem that is defined as follows. Given a set of flight legs to be served by a set of aircraft fleets, together with a tentative schedule, the problem requires ...
Design and performance analysis of a regenerative evaporative cooler for cooling of buildings in arid climates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Evaporative cooling has been considered a low energy consumption process that often is associated with displacement ventilation and passive cooling strategies of buildings. While significant energy savings can be accrued ...
Using thin-plies to improve the damage resistance and tolerance of aeronautical CFRP composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Thin-ply composites are currently receiving specific attention from researchers due to their capabilities to delay matrix cracking. In this paper, the aim is to design a hybrid laminate that contains both thin- and normal ...
Energy absorption capability of date palm leaf fiber reinforced epoxy composites rectangular tubes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This paper introduces the date palm leaf fiber (DPLF) as a possible natural fiber candidate to the automotive applications. An extensive experimental program has been carried out to examine the energy absorption capability ...
