Reduced graphene oxide filled poly(dimethyl siloxane) based transparent stretchable, and touch-responsive sensors
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
The ongoing revolution in touch panel technology and electronics demands the need for thin films, which are flexible, stretchable, conductive, and highly touch responsive. In this regard, conductive elastomer nanocomposites ...
Warming impact on energy use of HVAC system in buildings of different thermal qualities and in different climates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
In order to combat climate change, energy use in the building must be further reduced. Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in residential buildings account for considerable fraction of global energy ...
Simulated annealing with auxiliary knowledge for process planning optimization in reconfigurable manufacturing
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
In this paper, three simulated annealing based algorithms that exploit auxiliary knowledge in different ways are devised and employed to handle a manufacturing process planning problem for reconfigurable manufacturing. ...
Finite element study of functionally graded porous femoral stems incorporating body-centered cubic structure
(
Blackwell Publishing Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The mismatch between stiffness of the femoral dense stem and host bone causes complications to patients, such as aseptic loosening and bone resorption. Three‐dimensional finite‐element models of homogeneous porous (HGP) ...
Using hierarchical composite approach to improve mechanical response of Mg and Mg–Bi2O3 nano-composites
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
Novel Mg nano-composites reinforced with either Bi2O3 nano-particles or hybrid Al–Bi2O3 particles (Bi2O3 nano-particles hybridized with Al using ball milling) have been synthesized, in this work, through powder metallurgy ...
An optimization technique on ultrasonic and cutting parameters for drilling and deep drilling of nickel-based high-strength Inconel 738LC superalloy with deeper and higher hole quality
(
Springer-Verlag London Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this research work, an ultrasonic assisted drilling system is employed to apply both rotation and vibration to drill bits. The transducer horn transfers power very efficiently and changes tools effortlessly. The setup ...
Influence of tire blowout on the collision of a light pickup truck with a guardrail safety barrier
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This main purpose of this work is to investigate, through a finite-element simulation, the effect of tire blowout on the collision of a light pickup truck with a guardrail, at a speed of 100 km/h. The finite-element model ...
New characteristics of optimal solutions for the two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
The two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers with the objective of minimising the makespan (F2||Cmax) is addressed. Johnson’s algorithm finds optimal solutions (permutations) to this problem, but are not necessarily ...
Crushing behavior of hybrid hexagonal/octagonal cellular composite system: All made of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Cellular carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites, either unfilled or filled with foam, may be of interest for energy absorption application due to their improved crashworthiness. In the current paper, new ...
Influence of functionally graded pores on bone ingrowth in cementless hip prosthesis: a finite element study using mechano-regulatory algorithm
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
Cementless hip prostheses with porous outer coating are commonly used to repair the proximally damaged femurs. It has been demonstrated that stability of prosthesis is also highly dependent on the bone ingrowth into the ...
