Effect of Inconel625 particles on the microstructural, mechanical, and thermal properties of Al-Inconel625 composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
This research work investigates the effect of concentration of Inconel625 particles on the microstructural, mechanical, and thermal properties of Al-Inconel625 composites. The Al-Inconel625 composites containing varying ...
Improving mechanical, thermal and damping properties of niti (Nitinol) reinforced aluminum nanocomposites
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In the present study, Ni50Ti50 (NiTi) particle reinforced aluminum nanocomposites were fabricated using microwave sintering and subsequently hot extrusion. The effect of NiTi (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 vol %) content on the ...
Improved properties of Al-Si3N4 nanocomposites fabricated through a microwave sintering and hot extrusion process
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, nano-sized Si3N4 (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%)/Al composites were fabricated using a powder metallurgy method involving microwave sintering technique followed by hot extrusion. The influence of Si3N4 content ...
Novel Ni-B/AlN nanocomposite coatings for oil and gas industry
(
National Assoc. of Corrosion Engineers International
, 2018 , Conference)
Corrosion is a major cause of materials and equipment failure in the oil and gas industry, and its prevention is crucial to ensure reliability of the assets. Towards, this goal, Ni-B/AlN nanocomposite coatings were synthesized ...
Data of the design of solar assisted district cooling systems
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Dataset)
The collected datasets are relevant and related to Optimization of Design and Operation of Solar Assisted District Cooling Systems [1] paper. Part of the data is collected on the main and common components of the system. ...
Exact approaches for routing capacitated electric vehicles
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
We investigate a variant of the standard Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), where each vehicle is powered exclusively by electricity stored in its rechargeable battery. Consequently, each vehicle should visit not ...
Enhanced compact models for the connected subgraph problem and for the shortest path problem in digraphs with negative cycles
(2013 , Article)
We investigate the minimum-weight connected subgraph problem. The importance of this problem stems from the fact that it constitutes the backbone of many network design problems having applications in several areas including ...
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 ...
MIP models for minimizing total tardiness in a two-machine flow shop
(
Palgrave Macmillan Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
We propose compact mixed-integer programming models for the NP-hard problem of minimizing tardiness in a two-machine flow shop. Also, we propose valid inequalities that aim at tightening the models' representations. We ...
Improved bounds for hybrid flow shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks
(2013 , Article)
In this paper, we investigate the problem of minimizing makespan in a multistage hybrid flow-shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks. To generate high-quality approximate solutions to this challenging NP-hard problem, ...
