Numerical and experimental investigation on corrugation geometry for metallic tubes under lateral loading
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Energy absorption devices are being used to protect structures from severe damages and reduce injury to occupants during accidents. The integrated characteristics of crash absorption devices can be classified as high energy ...
Towards sustainable society: Design of food waste recycling machine
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Qatar is one of the top 10 countries in the world in terms of per capita food waste; which ranges from 584 to 657 kilograms per year. The combination of high food consumption rate and very low food waste recycle rate, ...
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 ...
Optimization of energy pile conductance using finite element and fractional factorial design of experiment
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP), Energy Piles pose as heat exchangers that transfer the heat from the buildings to the shallow ground lower temperature in order to decrease the energy consumption whilst cooling the ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A Real Case-Based Study Exploring Influence of Human Age and Gender on Drivers’ Behavior and Traffic Safety
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The demand for understanding the functional relationship between changes in traffic safety level and human-related factors has increased remarkably due to a steady increase in population and traffic volume. Motor vehicle ...
Evaluation of thermal history and defect in friction stir processing of as-cast magnesium AZ91
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Friction stir processing (FSP) is a thermos-mechanical process for modifying the microstructural and material properties of metals. FSP also can be used for mechanical alloying and producing metal matrix composites. Due ...
