Application of Fatty Acid Based Phase-Change Material to Reduce Energy Consumption from Roofs of Buildings
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2016 , Article)
Buildings account for a significant portion of the total energy consumption in the U.S., especially the energy-inefficient commercial building sector. As part of the future path toward realizing net zero energy buildings, ...
Guided ultrasonic wave tomography of a pipe bend exposed to environmental conditions: A long-term monitoring experiment
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Continuous monitoring of corrosion damage in pipelines requires sensor systems that can achieve high precision (repeatability) to detect and size subtle wall thickness (WT) losses. In fact, corrosion typically progresses ...
In situ strengthening of thin-wall structures using pressurized foam
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
A simple and effective in situ method for strengthening or healing thin-wall structures is presented. In this method, a liquid-state gap-sealing foam is injected within the enclosed spaces of a structure. After injection ...
Hybridized ant colony algorithm for the Multi Compartment Vehicle Routing Problem
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Multi Compartment Vehicle Routing Problem is an extension of the classical Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem where different products are transported together in one vehicle with multiple compartments. Products are stored ...
Preface: When Robots Engage Humans

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. ...
Dry gas seal simulation with different spiral tapered grooves
(
UiTM Press
, 2014 , Article)
The flow and performance analysis for a dry gas seal (DGS) with a standard and tapered spiral grooves is developed using a verified FLUENT CFD model. A comprehensive analysis is proposed to resolve the effect of modifying ...
A three dimensional extended Arlequin method for dynamic fracture
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
We propose a concurrent multiscale method for fracture coupling two three-dimensional continuum domains. Fracture in both domains is treated by the extended finite element method. The coupling is based on the Arlequin ...
Heterogeneities in Polymer Structural and Dynamic Properties in Graphene and Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites: Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The effect of graphene (G) and graphene oxide (GO), used as the nanofiller in polymer nanocomposites (NC), on the structural and dynamic properties of polymer chains, has been studied by means of molecular dynamics (MD) ...
Synthesis, characterization and physicochemical studies of copolymers of aniline and 3-nitroaniline
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Polyaniline (PA), the versatile conducting polymer, owing to its tunable optoelectronic properties, facile preparation methodology and reversible redox behavior, has elicited much interest among current researchers, ...
