The probabilistic nature of ignition of turbulent highly-strained lean premixed methane-air flames for low-emission engines
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The probabilistic nature of ignition of turbulent highly-strained lean premixed flames has been investigated. Two flow configurations have been considered in this study; counter-flow and bluff-body flames. Different ...
Comparison of various functionally graded femoral prostheses by finite element analysis
(
Hindawi
, 2014 , Article)
This study is focused on finite element analysis of a model comprising femur into which a femoral component of a total hip replacement was implanted. The considered prosthesis is fabricated from a functionally graded ...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to optimize system redundancy and maintenance intervals of a propane pre-cooled mixed refrigerant (C3MR) liquefaction process on floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) export platforms. ...
Dynamic aggregated building electricity load modeling and simulation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
In order to support the growing interest in demand response modeling and analysis, there is a need for physical-based building load models. This work presents a new approach for simulating electrical power flow in buildings. ...
Multi-objective optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems using PSO-simulation based approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Recently, the increasing energy demand has caused dramatic consumption of fossil fuels and unavoidable raising energy prices. Moreover, environmental effect of fossil fuel led to the need of using renewable energy (RE) to ...
Study on the impact of welding on the corrosion properties of AA 6061 T6
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Aluminium alloy 6061 T6 circular specimens were joined using TIG welding method. AlMg5 was used as filler. The corrosion behavior of welded and un-welded AA 6061 T6 was investigated using potentiodynamic and open circuit ...
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 ...
