The probabilistic nature of ignition of turbulent highly-strained lean premixed methane-air flames for low-emission engines
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The probabilistic nature of ignition of turbulent highly-strained lean premixed flames has been investigated. Two flow configurations have been considered in this study; counter-flow and bluff-body flames. Different ...
Numerical investigation of rotating stall in centrifugal compressor with vaned and vaneless diffuser
(
Science Press
, 2015 , Article)
This study presents a numerical simulation of the stall and surge in a centrifugal compressor and presents a descriptionof the stall development in two different cases. The first case is for a compressor with vaneless ...
Efficient system reliability-based design optimization study for replaced hip prosthesis using new optimized anisotropic bone formulations
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
An efficient reliability algorithm is developed to transfer the system reliability problem to a single-component reliability problem, considering the uncertainty of loading cases and the material properties. The main ...
Head Impact Severity Measures for Small Social Robots Thrown During Meltdown in Autism
(
springer link
, 2019 , Article)
Social robots have gained a lot of attention recently as they have been reported to be effective in supporting therapeutic services for children with autism. However, children with autism may exhibit a multitude of challenging ...
Review of innovative approaches of thermo-mechanical refrigeration systems using low grade heat
(
Hindawi
, 2020 , Article)
Cooling and refrigeration systems consume around 17% of the world-wide electricity. Enhancing the performance of these systems, using renewable energy resources and waste heat recovered from industrial processes, will lead ...
Optimizing multi-objective dynamic facility location decisions within green distribution network design
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Despite the surge of sustainable economic development which inspires corporations to optimize investment on environmental-friendly infrastructural facilities, limited pragmatic evidences are observed in product-service ...
Facility location decisions within integrated forward/reverse logistics under uncertainty
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a stochastic mixed integer linear programming (SMILP) model is proposed to optimize the location and size of facilities and service centres in integrated forward and reverse streams under uncertainty. The ...
Simulation-Based Parametric Study for the Hybrid Superplastic Forming of AZ31
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
As the lightest constructional metal on earth, magnesium alloys offer excellent potential for weight reduction in the transportation industry and it was observed that some magnesium alloys exhibit superior ductility and ...
Elastic properties of chiral, anti-chiral, and hierarchical honeycombs: A simple energy-based approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The effects of two geometric refinement strategies widespread in natural structures, chirality and self-similar hierarchy, on the in-plane elastic response of two-dimensional honeycombs were studied systematically. Simple ...
