Impact of competitive conditions on supplier evaluation: a construction supply chain case study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
This research proposes a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework and demonstrates the impact of competitive conditions on supplier evaluation process for construction supply chains. The paper focuses on the supply ...
Wave Scattering and Power Flow in Straight-Helical-Straight Waveguide Structure
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The knowledge of wave scattering and power flow in waveguide structures is important for many engineering applications. In this paper, power flow and scattering in a straight-helical-straight waveguide structure are ...
A Bio-Inspired Slip Detection and Reflex-Like Suppression Method for Robotic Manipulators
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Robotic manipulators face significant challenges when handling objects of different sizes and shapes. Incorporating a sense of touch into these devices has the potential to improve performance and dexterity. In this paper, ...
A model for capacitated green vehicle routing problem with the time-varying vehicle speed and soft time windows
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This paper investigates the capacitated green vehicle routing problem (GVRP) with time-varying vehicle speed and soft time windows. The GVRP is developed as a multi-objective mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) ...
Electrodeposited Ni–Co layered double hydroxides on titanium carbide as a binder-free electrode for supercapacitors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
We report the synthesized mixture of MXene and Ni–Co LDH on nickel foam by an electrodeposition technique. The specific capacitance of the mixture attained 983.6 F g−1 at a discharge current of 2 A g−1, which is greater ...
TLP bonding of Ti-6Al-4V and Mg-AZ31 alloys using pure Ni electro-deposited coats
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding of Mg-AZ31 and Ti-6Al-4V alloys was performed using pure thin Ni electro-deposited coat interlayer (12 μm). The effect of bonding temperature, time and pressure on microstructural ...
Effectiveness of Ni incorporation in iron oxide crystal structure towards thermochemical CO2 splitting reaction
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, Ni-doped iron oxide (NixFe3−xO4) materials were synthesized via the 1,2-epoxypropane assisted sol-gel method by varying the molar concentration of Ni from x=0.2 to 1. Sol-gel derived NixFe3−xO4 gels were ...
The probabilistic nature of ignition of turbulent highly-strained lean premixed methane-air flames for low-emission engines
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The probabilistic nature of ignition of turbulent highly-strained lean premixed flames has been investigated. Two flow configurations have been considered in this study; counter-flow and bluff-body flames. Different ...
Band Gap Characteristics of Nonrotating Passive Periodic Drill String
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2018 , Article)
A new class of drill strings is investigated whereby strategically designed and placed periodic inserts are utilized to filter out the vibration transmission along the drill strings. Such mechanical filtering capabilities ...
