Effect of crushable blockouts on a full-scale guardrail system
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
Since the performance of the guardrail system depends in part on the compatibility of vehicle-to-roadside hardware, it is important to improve the interaction of the vehicle with the guardrail system by adding more compliance ...
Fumed SiO2 nanoparticle reinforced biopolymer blend nanocomposites with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss for flexible organic electronics
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In the present study, fumed silica (SiO2) nanoparticle reinforced poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) blend nanocomposite films were prepared via a simple solution‐blending technique. Fourier transform ...
Static fracture and modal analysis simulation of a gas turbine compressor blade and bladed disk system
(
Springer
, 2016 , Article)
This paper presents a methodology for conducting a 3-D static fracture analysis with applications to a gas turbine compressor blade. An open crack model is considered in the study and crack-tip driving parameters are ...
Recent advances in electrospun polycaprolactone based scaffolds for wound healing and skin bioengineering applications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Electrospun poly(-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds incorporated with bioactive materials play a key role in tissue engineering applications due to their extra cellular matrix (ECM) mimicking property, biocompatibility and ...
Wollastonite/forsterite composite scaffolds offer better surface for hydroxyapatite formation
(
Indian Academy of Sciences
, 2019 , Article)
The present work deals with a comparative study of ceramic/ceramic composites for the development of scaffolds for biomedical applications. Wollastonite and forsterite were synthesized by a sol-gel combustion method. The ...
Machine learning based photovoltaics (PV) power prediction using different environmental parameters of Qatar
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Photovoltaics (PV) output power is highly sensitive to many environmental parameters and the power produced by the PV systems is significantly affected by the harsh environments. The annual PV power density of around 2000 ...
Modelling trends in road crash frequency in Qatar State
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
The data-based regression models are widely popular in modelling the relationship between the crash frequencies and contributing factors. However, one common problem usually associated with the classical regression models ...
Synthesis of Highly Efficient Bifunctional Ag/Co3O4 Catalyst for Oxygen Reduction and Oxygen Evolution Reactions in Alkaline Medium
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
Ag/Co3O4 catalysts using three different modes of solution combustion synthesis were developed and characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron ...
Throughput optimization for the Robotic Cell Problem with Controllable Processing Times
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Article)
In this paper, we present a MIP-based heuristic and an effective genetic algorithm for the Robotic Cell Problem with Controllable Processing Times (RCPCPT). This problem arises in modern automated manufacturing systems and ...
Study to identify computational fluid dynamics models for use in determining HVAC duct fitting loss coefficients
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
This article presents results from a systematic study to establish whether computational fluid dynamics techniques are capable of predicting pressure drop in close-coupled five-gore elbows having nominal diameters of 203 ...
