Dynamic response of metal foam FG porous cylindrical micro-shells due to moving loads with strain gradient size-dependency
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
The dynamic characteristics of functionally graded (FG) metal foam cylindrical micro-scale shells in contact with a moving load will be analyzed thorough this paper accounting for strain-gradient size-dependency. In the ...
Disaster management in industrial areas: Perspectives, challenges and future research
(
Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya
, 2019 , Article)
Purpose: In most countries, development, growth, and sustenance of industrial facilities are given utmost importance due to the influence in the socio-economic development of the country. Therefore, special economic zones, ...
Treatment as prevention for hepatitis C virus in Pakistan: Mathematical modelling projections
(
BMJ Publishing Group
, 2019 , Article)
Objective Direct-Acting antivirals have opened an opportunity for controlling hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Pakistan, where 10% of the global infection burden is found. We aimed to evaluate the implications of five ...
Effect of copper-nickel interlayer thickness on laser welding-brazing of Mg/Ti alloy
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Dissimilar lap joining of AZ31B Mg alloy to Cu-Ni coated Ti-6Al-4V was carried out by laser welding-brazing method. The effect of Cu and Ni contents on interfacial reaction and joint fracture load were analyzed. For the ...
A new compact formulation for the daily crew pairing problem
(
INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences
, 2019 , Article)
The daily crew pairing problem (DCPP) seeks to generate a set of minimal-cost pairings that covers all the planned daily flights while complying with a variety of labor regulations, safety rules, and policies of the airline. ...
Finite element study of functionally graded porous femoral stems incorporating body-centered cubic structure
(
Blackwell Publishing Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The mismatch between stiffness of the femoral dense stem and host bone causes complications to patients, such as aseptic loosening and bone resorption. Three‐dimensional finite‐element models of homogeneous porous (HGP) ...
Robustness analysis of the FFT-based segmentation, feature selection and machine fault identification algorithm
(
British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing
, 2019 , Article)
This paper aims to experimentally investigate the robustness of a recently developed fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based segmentation, feature selection and fault identification algorithm for the development of practical ...
Effects of Turbulence Intensity and Biogas Composition on the Localized Forced Ignition of Turbulent Mixing Layers
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Three-dimensional compressible Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) have been used to investigate the localized forced ignition of statistically planar mixing layers of biogas/air mixtures for different levels of turbulence ...
New characteristics of optimal solutions for the two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
The two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers with the objective of minimising the makespan (F2||Cmax) is addressed. Johnson’s algorithm finds optimal solutions (permutations) to this problem, but are not necessarily ...
Guided ultrasonic wave tomography of a pipe bend exposed to environmental conditions: A long-term monitoring experiment
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Continuous monitoring of corrosion damage in pipelines requires sensor systems that can achieve high precision (repeatability) to detect and size subtle wall thickness (WT) losses. In fact, corrosion typically progresses ...
