A continuum model with a percolation threshold and tunneling-assisted interfacial conductivity for carbon nanotube-based nanocomposites
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
A continuum model that possesses several desirable features of the electrical conduction process in carbon-nanotube (CNT) based nanocomposites is developed. Three basic elements are included: (i) percolation threshold, ...
Nonlocal damage modelling in clay/epoxy nanocomposites using a multiscale approach
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
This study proposed a concurrent multiscale method to model damage in clay/epoxy nanocomposites. The method uses a nonlocal damage formulation to regularize the damage model. The multiscale method used, is based on the ...
Replacement policies for periodic damage models
(
International Society of Science and Applied Technologies
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
A new periodic damage model for preventive replacement policies is proposed in this paper, where the damage produced by shocks is only measured at periodic times, without considering the mathematical models of the stochastic ...
An empirical study on lean awareness and potential for lean implementations in Qatar industries
(
Springer-Verlag London Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, an investigation on the level of recognition of lean concepts, principles, tools, and techniques in different industrial sectors in Qatar was carried out. The general aim of the study was to determine lean ...
What is Middle Maintenance Policy?
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The main purpose of this paper is to propose several new maintenance policies that can be performed at suitable middle times for trivariate preventive maintenance scenarios. Firstly, characteristics and limitations for the ...
