Experimental investigation of the crashworthiness performance of fiber and fiber steel-reinforced composites tubes
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Crashworthiness plays a key role in energy absorption and hence in vehicle accidents. The energy absorption capacity of laminated composite materials is heavily investigated in the industry due to their low cost, corrosion ...
Joint replenishment model for multiple products with substitution
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
We extend the classical economic order quantity model to address the joint replenishment of multiple products under substitution. The proposed model optimizes ordering quantities for each product under substitution effects ...
Influence of Reaction Time in the Emotional Response of a Companion Robot to a Child’s Aggressive Interaction
(
springer link
, 2020 , Article)
The quality of a companion robot’s reaction is important to make it acceptable to the users and to sustain interactions. Furthermore, the robot’s reaction can be used to train socially acceptable behaviors and to develop ...
Recycling low grade waste heat to electricity
(
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Most mining and metallurgical industries produce relatively large quantities of low grade waste heat which they vent, for the most part, to the environment. To date, little is being done to recover some of this heat and ...
Synthesis and characterization of electroactive novel poly-2-cynoaniline
(
Indian Academy of Sciences
, 2014 , Article)
Uniform needle-like structures of poly-2-cynoaniline are formed without the use of any template by electrochemical oxidative polymerization method on copper electrode in acidic medium. The structural characterizations are ...

Horizon Research Publishing
, 2020 , Article)
Seeking knowledge and continuing education are very important elements in Islam. All Muslims (both male and female) are required to make sincere efforts to acquire knowledge for the benefits of themself and the society; ...
N-cetyl-N,N,N trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-stabilized polyaniline: a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel
(
Emerald Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the inhibitive effect of polyaniline (PAni) and N-cetyl-N,N,N trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-stabilized PAni in a hydrochloric acid (HCl) medium. Design/methodology/approach: ...
Centrifugal Compressor Spiral Dry Gas Seal Simulation Working at Reverse Rotation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Unidirectional dry gas seal may experiences reverse rotation when equipped in a centrifugal compressor. This paper describes how the reverse rotation effects on the spiral unidirectional dry gas seal performance and pressure ...
Combined effect of global warming and buildings envelope on the performance of ground source heat pump systems
(
Springer Link
, 2014 , Book chapter)
Heating and cooling systems as well as domestic hot water account for over 50 % of the world’s energy consumption. Due to their high thermal performance, ground source heat pump systems (GSHP) have been increasingly used ...
Electrodeposited white bronzes on brass: Corrosion in 3.5 % sodium chloride solution
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
White bronzes are electrodeposited coatings applied on brass as surface finishes. We report a comparative study on the corrosion resistance in chloride aqueous environment of two white bronzes, a Zn-bearing and a Zn-free. ...
