Evaluation of a novel greenhouse design for reduced cooling loads during the hot season in subtropical regions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Greenhouses provide an optimized growth environment for plants. However, providing this environment is energy intensive. In subtropical regions, most of this energy is to cater for the required cooling. The cooling demand ...
A practical solution approach for the green vehicle routing problem
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Green vehicle routing (GVRP) is an active research area that is concerned with the development and analysis of distribution activities with eco-friendly vehicles. We propose a practical solution approach for the GVRP that ...
Axial crushing behavior and energy absorption efficiency of corrugated tubes
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Technical Report)
This paper presents the effect of corrugations on the crushing behavior, energy absorption, and failure mode of circular aluminum tubes. Experimental investigations were carried out on five geometrical types of corrugated ...
Constitutive analysis for the quantification of hardness decay in a superlattice CrN/NbN hard-coating
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
In the present study, a constitutive analysis of the evolution of the mechanical response of a CrN/NbN superlattice coating exposed to high temperature has been performed. Parametric approaches were used to obtain a single ...
Numerical simulation and control of rotating stall in a transonic centrifugal compressor
(
Web Portal ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This study presents a numerical simulation of precursors and characteristics of rotating stall in a centrifugal compressor with vaned diffuser. The aim is to further understand the causes of stall inception, characteristics ...
Toward 3D Printed Prosthetic Hands that Can Satisfy Psychosocial Needs: Grasping Force Comparisons Between a Prosthetic Hand and Human Hands
(
springer link
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The advancement in 3D printing technologies appears to be the key toward affordable and functional artificial limbs. The loss of an amputee’s capability to do functional tasks like grasping objects has an obvious effect ...
Geothermal energy extraction from decommissioned petroleum wells
(
International Society for Rock Mechanics
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Abandoned wells impose enduring liabilities to petroleum companies and/or governments. However, the depth and abundance of abandoned petroleum wells make them an economically attractive source of geothermal energy. Geothermal ...
Measurements of laminar flame speeds of alternative gaseous fuel mixtures
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
Global warming and the ever increasing emission levels of combustion engines have forced the engine manufacturers to look for alternative fuels for high engine performance and low emissions. Gaseous fuel mixtures such as ...
Joint optimization of redundancy level and spare part inventories
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
We consider a "k-out-of-N"? system with different standby modes. Each of the N components consists of multiple part types. Upon failure, a component can be repaired within a certain time by switching the failed part by a ...
Characterisation of multiphase fluid-structure interaction using non-intrusive optical techniques
(2011 , Article)
The purpose of this study is to determine experimentally the effectiveness of passive drag reduction techniques (which involve adjusting surface geometry) within a chaotic multiphase flow system. To quantify the intrusion ...
