An experimental investigation into crushing behavior of radially stiffened GFRP composite tubes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
State-of-the-art studies of the crushing of composite tubes reveal different factors affecting their crashworthiness. Of those factors, the geometrical property of the tube is of great interest. In the current study, four ...
Mechanical properties, thermal stability and corrosion behavior of electrodeposited Ni-B/AlN nanocomposite coating
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
The present study focuses on the development of Ni-B alloy AlN nanocomposite coating employing a novel electrodeposition technique from citrate bath. The influence of incorporation of AlN particles on structure, thermal ...
Numerical and wind tunnel investigation of Hot Air Recirculation across Liquefied Natural Gas Air Cooled Heat Exchangers
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Air Cooled Heat Exchangers (ACHE)s are used for heat rejection in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants. Their thermal performance decreases under elevated ambient temperatures and windy conditions as exhaust air recirculates ...
Crushing behavior of a unit cell of CFRP lattice core for sandwich structures’ application
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Sandwich structures made of composites are designed mainly for higher and efficient load capacity. Mostly, the use of composite materials in lattice core sandwich structures is limited to the face sheet; whereas, the core ...
Collapse behavior of thin-walled corrugated tapered tubes under oblique impact
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Thin-walled structures are used in safety applications such as automotive vehicles and locomotives because of their efficient energy absorption, light weight, and reduced manufacturing cost. The performance of these ...
Replacement policies for a parallel system with shortage and excess costs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
It has been assumed in most maintenance models that (i) the number of units for a parallel system can be predefined precisely, (ii) maintenance cost after failure should be avoided, and (iii) age replacement can always be ...
Optimization of Viscoelastic Metamaterials for Vibration Attenuation Properties
(
World Scientific
, 2020 , Article)
Metamaterials (MMs) are composites that are artificially engineered to have unconventional mechanical properties that stem from their microstructural geometry rather than from their chemical composition. Several studies ...
Investigating the effect of using softer rail-pads on ground-borne vibration from underground railways
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2023 , Article)
In this study, a series of vibration measurements were performed on a section of one of the lines of the Doha Metro to explore the effect of changing rail-pads from conventional higher stiffness under-rail pads to lower ...
Fault classification using convolutional neural networks and color channels for time-frequency analysis of acoustic emissions
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2023 , Article)
We present a novel method for real-time fault classification using the time history of acoustic emissions (AEs) recorded from a lab-scale gas turbine operating under normal and faulty conditions across multiple turbine ...
Using probabilistic neural networks for modeling metal fatigue and random vibration in process pipework
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2022 , Article)
Many experiments are usually needed to quantify probabilistic fatigue behavior in metals. Previous attempts used separate artificial neural network (ANN) to calculate different probabilistic ranges which can be computationally ...
