Regional Well-to-Wheel Carbon, Energy, and Water Footprint Analysis of Electric Vehicles
(
Atlantis Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Adoption of alternative vehicle technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have the potential of reducing some of the environmental impacts ...
Drill string nonlinear vibrations: Experimental studies and finite-element analysis
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In the present work, nonlinear vibrations of drill strings are studied. A laboratory scale arrangement consisting of a flexible rod with rotor-stator system is used to study the system dynamics. A finite-element model has ...
Attitudes of heads of education and directors of research towards the need for social robotics education in universities
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
We explored the attitudes of the Heads of Education and the Directors of Research towards the need for Social Robotics Courses in Finland. The methods consisted of a cross-sectional survey (n = 21) and data was analyzed ...
Effect of high pass filtering of the regenerated reference signal in a single channel active noise control system
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, IIAV
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
An acoustic noise cancellation (ANC) system with regenerative feedback synthesizes its own reference signal based on the error signal and the adaptive filter output. The prime objective of such a configuration is to estimate ...
Effect of reflective surface on the impulse response of the secondary path of an active noise control system
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, IIAV
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Previous research has shown that a reflective surface has an impact on the control performance of an active noise control system. System identification of the secondary path is of utmost importance in the effectiveness of ...
Modeling prepositioning of resources for humanitarian logistics
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Prepositioning of resources for humanitarian assistance to the victims of natural disaster is an important consideration to mitigate the problem that occurs due to the shortage in the supply of resources. Prepositioned ...
Sequence-Based Simulation Optimization: An Application to Container Terminals
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a novel method for simulation-optimization that incorporates the sequence in which the decision variables (resource levels) are optimized. The authors hypothesize that implementing such a sequence will ...
Nonlinear stochastic drillstrings vibrations: Parametric study for stick-slip suppression
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Unstable vibrations caused by the transition between static and kinetic frictions produces stick-slip motions which is one of the primary causes of poor drilling efficiency and mechanism failure in the drilling process. ...
Analyzing the impact of human characteristics on the comprehensibility of road traffic signs
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Traffic safety is one of major challenges facing most communities worldwide. To improve traffic safety, regulating traffic movement through markings, signs, channelization, and others is essential. Traffic signs are used ...
Optimizing national resource usage through the integration of University shuttle service with the public rail: The case study in Qatar University
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Qatar University is the largest public educational institution in the State of Qatar. The university community has diverse committed faculty who not only teaching but also conducting research studies contributing actively ...
