Exact solution methods for a generalized assignment problem with location/allocation considerations
(
INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences
, 2016 , Article)
We investigate modeling approaches and exact solution methods for a generalized assignment problem with location/allocation (GAPLA) considerations. In contrast with classical generalized assignment problems, each knapsack ...
Effect of blade tip geometry on centrifugal compressor performance and stability
(
Medwell Journals
, 2016 , Article)
The reliability operation for small fuel cells and hybrid fuel cell with gas turbine requires centrifugal compressor surge prevention. This study concerns a high speed centrifugal compressor stage with different blade tip ...
A comprehensive annual delivery program for upstream liquefied natural gas supply chain
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Developing a cost-effective annual delivery program (ADP) is a challenging task for liquefied natural gas (LNG) suppliers, especially for LNG supply chains with large number of vessels and customers. Given significant ...
Band gap characteristics of periodic gyroscopic systems
(
Academic Press
, 2018 , Article)
The stop and pass bands (i.e. the band gaps) characteristics are determined for gyroscopic systems by developing an approach which is compatible with such class of systems which is based on the concept of Bloch wave ...
A learning factory: Enhancing societal needs awareness and innovation through manufacturing class
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Article)
The manufacturing course is a common course in most Mechanical and Industrial Engineering programs around the world. In this course, various aspects of product design and manufacturing process selection are discussed. ...
Nanostructured ZnO gas sensors obtained by green method and combustion technique
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The present study reports on the synthesis of nano ZnO using two different processes i.e., biological (green synthesis) and chemical synthesis (solution combustion technique). The prepared materials were characterized by ...
Heterogeneous growth mechanism of ZnO nanostructures and the effects of their morphology on optical and photocatalytic properties
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoflowers have huge potential for various applications. However, the growth mechanism of ZnO nanoflowers is still under debate despite various growth mechanisms having been proposed. The aim of this study ...
Tribological behaviour of 1D and 2D nanofiller based high densitypoly-ethylene hybrid nanocomposites: A run-in and steady state phase analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Hybrid nanocomposites are a class of materials with exceptional properties due to the synergizing effect of individual fillers. Current work reports the tribological behaviour of high densitypolyethylene-(HDPE) reinforced ...
Striking multiple synergies in novel three-phase fluoropolymer nanocomposites by combining titanium dioxide and graphene oxide as hybrid fillers
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, novel three-phase polymer nanocomposites comprising of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO) were prepared using colloidal blending. The PVDF/TiO2/GO ...
Newly developed biodegradable polymer nanocomposites of cellulose acetate and Al2O3 nanoparticles with enhanced dielectric performance for embedded passive applications
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, biopolymer nanocomposites of
cellulose acetate (CA) and Al2O3 nanoparticles (Al2O3
NPs) were successfully obtained using solution blending
method. The effect of Al2O3 NPs loading on the
microstructure, ...
