Parametric study of radial functionally graded femoral prostheses with different geometries
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Due to complex loading and chemical conditions of the human body, the artificial replacements of the body organs demand materials with superior characteristics. Therefore, recently using composite materials have gained a ...
Improved bounds for hybrid flow shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks
(2013 , Article)
In this paper, we investigate the problem of minimizing makespan in a multistage hybrid flow-shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks. To generate high-quality approximate solutions to this challenging NP-hard problem, ...
Numerical and experimental investigation of corrugated tubes under lateral compression
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
As a common type of energy absorbers, thin-walled structures have been extensively used in crashworthiness application in many industries. The goal of this research is the optimisation of the crushing parameters of corrugated ...
Electrodeposition of flower-like platinum on electrophoretically grown nitrogen-doped graphene as a highly sensitive electrochemical non-enzymatic biosensor for hydrogen peroxide detection
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
An efficient non-enzymatic biosensor electrode consisting of nitrogen-doped graphene (N-graphene) and platinum nanoflower (Pt NF) with different N-graphene loadings were fabricated on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass using a ...
Transient response of porous FG nanoplates subjected to various pulse loads based on nonlocal stress-strain gradient theory
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Based on nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT), transient behavior of a porous functionally graded (FG) nanoplate due to various impulse loads has been studied. The porous nanoplate has evenly and unevenly distributed ...
Osteopontin: A Promising Therapeutic Target in Cardiac Fibrosis
(
NLM (Medline)
, 2019 , Article)
Osteopontin (OPN) is recognized for its significant roles in both physiological and pathological processes. Initially, OPN was recognized as a cytokine with pro-inflammatory actions. More recently, OPN has emerged as a ...
Cross-training policies for repair shops with spare part inventories
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
We study a spare part supply system for repairable spare parts where parallel repair servers may have multiple skills (can repair different failed parts). Demands for the spares occur according to Poisson processes with ...
A simulation-optimisation approach for supply chain network design under supply and demand uncertainties
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
We investigate a three-echelon stochastic supply chain network design problem. The problem requires selecting suppliers, determining warehouses locations and sizing, as well as the material flows. The objective is to ...
An experimental investigation into mechanical behavior of hybrid and nonhybrid composite semi-elliptical springs
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
This study introduces a new composite semi-elliptical suspension spring by utilizing fiber reinforced composite strength in principal direction instead of shear direction. Three types of composites were tested, namely, ...
Differentiating the mechanical response of hierarchical magnesium nano-composites as a function of temperature
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2012 , Article)
The effect of temperature change on quasi-static mechanical response of monolithic Mg alongside hierarchical Mg/Al–Al2O3 nano-composites synthesized through powder metallurgy route followed by microwave assisted rapid ...
