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 ...
Mechanical and Thermal Analysis of Classical Functionally Graded Coated Beam
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The governing equation of a classical rectangular coated beam made of two layers subjected to thermal and uniformly distributed mechanical loads are derived by using the principle of virtual displacements and based on ...
ANN Model for Energy Demand and Supply Forecasting in a Hybrid Energy Supply System
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents short term demand and supply forecasting model for a microgrid supply system used to secure the electricity demands of a commercial building, using one year demand data collected in hourly base. One-year ...
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 ...
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 ...
Development of an active noise control earplug
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, IIAV
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Active Noise Control (ANC) is used in controlling low frequency noise where passive control is ineffective. This paper presents the main results obtained from the development of an active noise control earplug for use in ...
Studies on the Mechanical, Morphological and Electrical Properties of Highly Dispersible Graphene Oxide Reinforced Polypyrrole and Polyvinylalcohol Blend Composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In the present study, water soluble polypyrrole (WPPy)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/graphene oxide (GO) composite films were prepared via colloidal blending method at different GO loadings varying from 0 – 3 wt%. The dispersion ...
Electrospun polymer nanocomposite scaffolds containing metal oxide nanoparticles for diabetic wound healing
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
It is very important to treat diabetic foot injuries at early stage since even minor wounds can turn into serious foot ulcers which can lead to the amputation of the entire foot if not treated early. The management of ...
Effects of Drill Mud and Drive Torque Sinusoidal Excitation on Drillstrings Lateral and Torsional StickSlip Vibrations
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Oil and gas drilling companies spend around 20$ billion annually from which 15% is attributed to material and productive time losses. The most prevalent drilling problems are caused by the Bottom-Hole-Assembly failure which ...
Social robots and wearable sensors for mitigating meltdowns in autism - A pilot test
(
springer link
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Young individuals with ASD may exhibit challenging behaviors. Among these, self-injurious behavior (SIB) is the most devastating for a person’s physical health and inclusion within the community. SIB refers to a class of ...
