An exact algorithm for the single machine problem with unavailability periods
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
We investigate the single machine scheduling problem with job release dates and due dates, and multiple planned unavailability time periods. This problem arises in the context of machine scheduling with planned preventive ...
Robust optimization for the discrete time-cost tradeoff problem with cost uncertainty
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Book chapter)
Projects are subject to various sources of uncertainty that hamper reaching project targets; hence, it is crucial importance to use effective approaches to generate robust project schedules, which are less vulnerable to ...
A lifted compact formulation for the daily aircraft maintenance routing problem
(
INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences
, 2013 , Article)
Given a set of flights for a specific fleet type the aircraft routing problem (ARP) determines the flying sequence for each individual aircraft while incorporating specific considerations of minimum turn time maintenance ...
Optimal planning of liquefied natural gas deliveries
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
We investigate the problem of designing an optimal annual delivery plan for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). This problem requires determining the long-term cargo delivery dates and the assignment of vessels to the cargoes ...
Controlling the sensing performance of rGO filled PVDF nanocomposite with the addition of secondary nanofillers
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This study reports the synthesis and characterization of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposites containing binary filler combination of reduced graphene oxide and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes. The PVDF nanocomposite ...
Effect of interfacial friction and fold penetration on the progressive collapse of foam-filled frustum using kinematically admissible model
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
In this article, we extend our earlier analytical efforts of the progressive collapse of foam-filled conical frustum with the aid of a kinematically admissible folding mechanism. The instantaneous crushing force as well ...
Surface modification and grafting of carbon fibers: A route to better interface
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This review is an audit of various Carbon fibers (CF) surface modification techniques that have been attempted and which produced results with an enhancement in the interfacial characteristics of CFRP systems. An introduction ...
Effect of phosphorus on controlling and enhancing electrocatalytic performance of Ni–P–TiO2–MnO2 coatings
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Electroless Ni–P coatings have received profound interests in recent years for electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER). Their performance can be significantly enhanced by incorporating metal oxides and tuning ...
Binding energy, structural, and dielectric properties of thin film of poly(aniline-co-m-fluoroaniline)
(
Institute for Ionics
, 2018 , Article)
Semi-transparent and conducting thin film of poly(aniline-co-m-fluoroaniline) has been synthesized by a conventional oxidative copolymerization method using an aqueous solution of aniline, m-fluoroanilne as the monomers ...
Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of AA 6063 Processed by Severe Plastic Deformation
(
Springer US
, 2015 , Article)
In this study, the mechanical properties, including surface hardness, tensile strength, fatigue, and fretting fatigue behavior of AA 6063 processed by equal channel angular pressing as the most efficient severe shear plastic ...
