Soil-concrete interface properties subjected to temperature changes and cycles using direct shear tests
(
American Society of Civil Engineers Library (ASCE Library)
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Geothermal foundations (energy piles) combine the structural function of deep foundations with the ground source heat exchangers to transfer geothermal energy to superstructures. The intermittent operation of the geothermal ...
Finite element modelling and characterization of 3D cellular microstructures for the design of a cementless biomimetic porous hip stem
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Titanium porous cellular microstructures are commonly used in bone mimetic implants. The orientations of the internal strut architectures of these microstructures affect the mechanical performance under various loads; ...
Monitoring of simple linear quality profiles using dEWMA statistic under uncertainty of process deviations
(
IEOM Society
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The quality of process or product is often characterized by the univariate or multivariate distribution of quality characteristics. The linear profiles are widely used to model the relationship between dependent and ...
Active control of noise in ventilation ducts
(
Canadian Acoustical Association
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Ventilation ducts are often lined with passive absorption material for both thermal insulation and noise and vibration reduction. However, the noise reduction performance is not significant at low frequencies. Active Noise ...
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 ...
Unsteady CFD simulation for high speed centrifugal compressor operating near surge
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Centrifugal compressor surge and stall are an instabilities flow and system phenomenon, which can lead to a loss of engine power, large pressure transients and, in some cases, failure of the compressor and bearing system. ...
Robotic Trains as an Educational and Therapeutic Tool for Autism Spectrum Disorder Intervention
(
springer link
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Social robots are emerging to become useful assistive tools for use in the therapy and education of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The nature of ASD causes its symptoms and manifestations to vary widely, ...
Social robots and wearable sensors for mitigating meltdowns in autism - A pilot test
(
springer link
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Young individuals with ASD may exhibit challenging behaviors. Among these, self-injurious behavior (SIB) is the most devastating for a person’s physical health and inclusion within the community. SIB refers to a class of ...
TiO2 nanotube coating on stainless steel 304 for biomedical applications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
The present study describes the anodic growth of TiO2 nanotube thin layer on stainless steel 304 in ethylene glycol/water/ammonium fluoride electrolyte. In this regard, pure titanium was coated on stainless steel 304 ...
A framework based on location hazard index for optimizing operational performance of emergency response strategies: The case of petrochemical industrial cities
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Emergency response operations are very important activities in the industrial areas. As an incident in an industrial area can have considerable economic and social impact, response to such an incident has to be provided ...
