Optimal utilization of geothermal heat from abandoned oil wells for power generation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Unlike other types of renewable energy, geothermal resources represent a stable energy source because they can be exploited regardless of meteorological conditions. In geothermal systems, heat is exchanged between the ...
Yttrium oxide nanoparticle loaded scaffolds with enhanced cell adhesion and vascularization for tissue engineering applications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In situ tissue engineering is emerging as a novel approach in tissue engineering to repair damaged tissues by boosting the natural ability of the body to heal itself. This can be achieved by providing suitable signals and ...
Variable Selection-based Multivariate Cumulative Sum Control Chart
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
High-dimensional applications pose a significant challenge to the capability of conventional statistical process control techniques in detecting abnormal changes in process parameters. These techniques fail to recognize ...
Effect of crushable blockouts on a full-scale guardrail system
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
Since the performance of the guardrail system depends in part on the compatibility of vehicle-to-roadside hardware, it is important to improve the interaction of the vehicle with the guardrail system by adding more compliance ...
Nonlocal damage modelling in clay/epoxy nanocomposites using a multiscale approach
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
This study proposed a concurrent multiscale method to model damage in clay/epoxy nanocomposites. The method uses a nonlocal damage formulation to regularize the damage model. The multiscale method used, is based on the ...
Experimental analysis of additively manufactured thin-walled heat-treated circular tubes with slits using AlSi10Mg alloy by quasi-static axial crushing test
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, additively manufactured aluminum thin-walled tubes with different slit dimensions are proposed to improve energy absorption efficiency. A total of 18 samples, which varied in the number of slits, slit length, ...
Storage of energy harvested from a miniature turbine in a novel organic capacitor
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The potential of harvesting energy generated from a (5-cm) miniature wind turbine and storing the charge in a novel organic capacitor is experimentally investigated. The energy is generated by subjecting the wind turbine ...
Random number of units for K-out-of-n systems
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
This paper takes up the reliability and preventive replacement problems for a K-out-of-n system, where K is a stochastic parameter provided. Firstly, we consider the case when K is predefined as constant numbers as is done ...
Using thin-plies to improve the damage resistance and tolerance of aeronautical CFRP composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Thin-ply composites are currently receiving specific attention from researchers due to their capabilities to delay matrix cracking. In this paper, the aim is to design a hybrid laminate that contains both thin- and normal ...
Emission policies and their analysis for the design of hybrid and dedicated closed-loop supply chains
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Government legislation and consumer awareness on carbon emissions have required industries to seek alternative ways to reorganize their supply chains. Therefore, industries have to consider not only the activities in the ...
