An Efficient Heuristic for Pooled Repair Shop Designs
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
An effective spare part supply system planning is essential to achieve a high capital asset availability. We investigate the design problem of a repair shop in a single echelon repairable multi-item spare parts supply ...
A model for enhancing robustness of aircraft and passenger connections
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Airlines schedules are often subject to various uncontrollable factors that cause disruptions and delays. These delays not only constitute, for many passengers, the painful part of air travel, but also represent for airlines ...
On the minimum ignition energy and its transition in the localised forced ignition of turbulent homogeneous mixtures
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The minimum energy requirements for ensuring (i) just successful ignition and (ii) successful self-sustained flame propagation without the assistance of an external energy source following a successful ignition event have ...
A two-level optimization approach for robust aircraft routing and retiming
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
We investigate the Robust Aircraft Routing and Retiming Problem that is defined as follows. Given a set of flight legs to be served by a set of aircraft fleets, together with a tentative schedule, the problem requires ...
Utilization of oil wells for electricity generation: Performance and economics
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
There is a general agreement that the climate change, which is the most important challenge facing humanity, is anthropogenic and attributed to fossil fuel consumption. Therefore, deploying more renewable energy resources ...
Effect of fiber loading directions on the low cycle fatigue of intraply carbon-Kevlar reinforced epoxy hybrid composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Effect of fiber orientation on tensile and low cycle fatigue of intraply hybrid composites was investigated. In this work, intraply carbon/Kevlar fabric/epoxy hybrid composites were tested for static and cyclic loadings ...
Towards a sustainable management of end-of-life vehicles in Qatar: A closed-loop circular economy model
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) are potentially harmful for the environment if they are not processed or recycled in an environmentally friendly manner. In Qatar, the municipality removed almost 13,878 ELVs from different ...
The performance assessment for the dMEWMA in capturing changes in simple linear profiles
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In traditional quality control, the quality of product is typically modeled as the univariate or multivariate distribution of the quality parameters. In more recent applications, the quality is modeled using the relationship ...
Influence of electrodeposited Cu-Ni layer on interfacial reaction and mechanical properties of laser welded-brazed Mg/Ti lap joints
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
A fiber laser welding-brazing procedure has been developed for joining AZ31B magnesium alloy to Cu-Ni coated Ti-6Al-4V titanium sheet using AZ92D filler wire. The effect of the interlayer arrangements (AZ31B/Ni-Cu/Ti-6Al-4V ...
Thermo-mechanical vibration of rotating axially functionally graded nonlocal Timoshenko beam
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The free vibration analysis of rotating axially functionally graded nanobeams under an in-plane nonlinear thermal loading is provided for the first time in this paper. The formulations are based on Timoshenko beam theory ...
