Development of multisegment steering mechanism and 3-D panorama for automated bladder surveillance system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
A cystoscope is an invaluable tool for bladder cancer surveillance and lower urinary tract pathology diagnosis. The performance of cystoscopy can be improved by automating the procedure to ensure rapid and complete inspection, ...
Synthesis and properties of HA/ZnO/CNT nanocomposite
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The goal of this study was to examine the tribomechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HA)/ZnO and HA/ZnO/CNT composite ceramics (carbon nanotubes; with different ratios 0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, and 1.5 wt%). The composites were ...
A clustering-based repair shop design for repairable spare part supply systems
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, we address the design problem of a single repair shop in a repairable multi-item spare part supply system. We propose a sequential solution heuristic to solve the joint problem of resource pooling, inventory ...
Linear stability analysis of finite length journal bearings in laminar and turbulent regimes
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Dynamic coefficients of a finite length journal bearing are numerically calculated under laminar and turbulent regimes based on Ng-Pan-Elrod and Constantinescu models. Linear stability charts of a flexible rotor supported ...
Collapse behavior of thin-walled corrugated tapered tubes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Thin-walled structures have been widely used in energy absorption and safety applications such as automotive, due to their lightweight and progressive folding modes. This work studies the collapse behavior and energy ...
A three dimensional extended Arlequin method for dynamic fracture
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
We propose a concurrent multiscale method for fracture coupling two three-dimensional continuum domains. Fracture in both domains is treated by the extended finite element method. The coupling is based on the Arlequin ...
Tribo-mechanical properties and corrosion behavior investigation of anodized Ti-V alloy
(
MDPIAG
, 2018 , Article)
In the work presented in this manuscript, a self-organized TiO2 nanotube array film was produced by electrochemical anodization of a Ti-V alloy in an electrolyte containing NH4F/H3PO4 and then annealed at different ...
Modelling of the flow behaviour of wrought aluminium alloys at elevated temperatures by a new constitutive equation
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The hot working behaviour of an Al–0.7%Mg–0.4%Si (wt.%) aluminium alloy has been investigated by torsion testing in the 450–575°C temperature range. The behaviour of the alloy, in terms of equivalent stress vs equivalent ...
Parametric study of radial functionally graded femoral prostheses with different geometries
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Due to complex loading and chemical conditions of the human body, the artificial replacements of the body organs demand materials with superior characteristics. Therefore, recently using composite materials have gained a ...
Improved bounds for hybrid flow shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks
(2013 , Article)
In this paper, we investigate the problem of minimizing makespan in a multistage hybrid flow-shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks. To generate high-quality approximate solutions to this challenging NP-hard problem, ...
