Fault detection and severity identification of ball bearings by online condition monitoring
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
This paper presents a fast, accurate, and simple systematic approach for online condition monitoring and severity identification of ball bearings. This approach utilizes compact one-dimensional (1-D) convolutional neural ...
Influence of CuO nanoparticles and graphene nanoplatelets on the sensing behaviour of poly(vinyl alcohol) nanocomposites for the detection of ethanol and propanol vapors
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Poly(vinyl alcohol)/copper oxide/graphene nanoplatelets (PVA/CuO/Gr-NPls) nanocomposite based chemiresistive alcohol sensors were fabricated using colloidal blending method. The PVA/CuO/Gr-NPls nanocomposite films were ...
Portable system for monitoring and controlling driver behavior and the use of a mobile phone while driving
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
There is an utmost requirement for technology to control a driver's phone while driving, which will prevent the driver from being distracted and thus saving the driver's and passenger;s lives. Information from recent studies ...
Modeling of student academic achievement in engineering education using cognitive and non-cognitive factors
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
The retention and success of engineering undergraduates are increasing concern for higher-education institutions. The study of success determinants are initial steps in any remedial initiative targeted to enhance student ...
Influence of functionally graded pores on bone ingrowth in cementless hip prosthesis: a finite element study using mechano-regulatory algorithm
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
Cementless hip prostheses with porous outer coating are commonly used to repair the proximally damaged femurs. It has been demonstrated that stability of prosthesis is also highly dependent on the bone ingrowth into the ...
Model-Based Analysis of Spur Gears' Dynamic Behavior in the Presence of Multiple Cracks
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2018 , Article)
Early detection of tooth cracks is crucial for effective condition-based monitoring and decision making. The scope of this work was to bring more insight into the vibration behavior of spur gears in the presence of single ...
Experimental determination and computational fluid dynamics predictions of pressure loss in close-coupled elbows (RP-1682)
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
An experimental program was implemented to study pressure losses in HVAC duct systems associated with 305 mm (12 in.) diameter close-coupled round five-gore elbows. The goal of this program was to experimentally verify a ...
Application of value stream mapping (VSM) for lean and cycle time reduction in complex production environments: a case study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
The application of VSM is a proven approach for lean-based improvements. Typically, this becomes challenging, when applied for complex production environments. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate, how with some ...
A simulation-optimisation approach for supply chain network design under supply and demand uncertainties
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
We investigate a three-echelon stochastic supply chain network design problem. The problem requires selecting suppliers, determining warehouses locations and sizing, as well as the material flows. The objective is to ...
