Abandoned petroleum wells as sustainable sources of geothermal energy
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
A reliable heat transfer model was developed to determine the performance of a double pipe heat exchanger retrofitted to an abandoned petroleum well. The proposed model is compared against an analytical heat transfer model ...
Effect of Interlayer Thickness on Joint Formation Between Ti-6Al-4V and Mg-AZ31 Alloys
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2014 , Article)
The joining of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy to a Mg-AZ31 alloy was performed using Ni electroplated coatings during the TLP bonding process. In this work, different coating thicknesses were used ranging from 1 to 20 μm. The effect ...
Multivariate statistical process control charts based on the approximate sequential ?2 test
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
Similar to the univariate CUSUM chart, a multivariate CUSUM (MCUSUM) chart can be designed to detect a particular size of the mean shift optimally based on the scheme of a sequential likelihood ratio test for the noncentrality ...
Enhanced simulated-annealing-based algorithms and their applications to process planning in reconfigurable manufacturing systems
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2012 , Article)
Capabilities of enhanced simulated-annealing-based algorithms in solving process planning problems in reconfigurable manufacturing are investigated. The algorithms are enhanced by combining variants of the simulated annealing ...
Bird strike analysis on a typical helicopter windshield with different lay-ups
(
Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers
, 2014 , Article)
In the current paper, bird strike to a typical helicopter windshield is investigated using smoothed particles hydrodynamic (SPH) finite element method. Five types of lay-ups in a windshield (single layer stretch acrylic, ...
High temperature thermal stability of innovative nanostructured thin coatings for advanced tooling
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Tools for machining are made of hard steels and cemented carbide (WC-Co). For specialized applications, such as aluminium machining, diamond or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride are also used. The main problem with steel, ...
Effect of temperature and erosion on pitting corrosion of X100 steel in aqueous silica slurries containing bicarbonate and chloride content
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The effect of temperature on erosion-enhance pitting corrosion behavior of X100 steel has been investigated. Tests were performed at two temperatures with the help of open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization ...
Criticality measures for components with multi-dimensional degradation
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
Failures of engineering structures and equipment are often attributed to the failure of a single component. Hence, it is important to identify critical components in a system and understand how a component's criticality ...
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) ...
Energy absorption capability of thin-walled aluminium tubes under crash loading
(
Universiti Malaysia Pahang
, 2015 , Article)
This paper investigates the interaction of design factors such as tube thickness, tube length, and tube cross-sectional aspect ratio, along with friction and impacting mass on crashworthiness parameters such as specific ...
