Data on the impact of an object with different thicknesses of different soft materials at different impact velocities on a dummy head
( Elsevier Inc. , 2019 , Article)The purpose of this data is to investigate the effect of different thicknesses of different soft materials samples added to an object on the resultant head acceleration of a developed dummy head upon impact. The object was ... -
Thermal stability and frequency-dependent electrical conductivity of poly(aniline-co-m-nitroaniline)
( Institute for Ionics , 2019 , Article)Herein, we report the frequency-dependent AC conductivity of poly(aniline-co-m-nitroaniline)s which were synthesized by chemical oxidation of aniline and m-nitroaniline using ammonium persulfate as an oxidizing agent by ... -
Optimal design of a district cooling grid: structure, technology integration, and operation
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)The concept of a district cooling grid that allows the integration of several cooling technologies with different availability and supply patterns is introduced. An integrated multi-period optimization model for a district ... -
Monitoring and control of beta-distributed multistage production processes
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Multistage statistical process control (SPC) is an effective procedure for ensuring quality of products in multistage manufacturing processes. Effective SPC approaches for monitoring and controlling quality in multistage ... -
Application of vendor rationalization strategy for manufacturing cycle time reduction in engineer to order (ETO) environment: A case study
( Emerald Group Publishing Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the application of vendor rationalization strategy for streamlining the supplies and manufacturing cycle time reduction in an Indian engineer-to-order (ETO) company. ETO ... -
M cell targeting engineered biomaterials for effective vaccination
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Vaccines are one of the greatest medical interventions of all time and have been successful in controlling and eliminating a myriad of diseases over the past two centuries. Among several vaccination strategies, mucosal ... -
Investigation of the Effect of Larestan's Pipeline Water on the Mechanical Properties of Concretes Containing Granite Aggregates
( Hindawi Limited , 2019 , Article)In this study, the compressive strength of the concretes made by the pipeline water of Larestan has been investigated. Although the used water for the concretes must be clean, standard, and generally drinkable water, in ... -
Nonlinear modeling and dynamic analysis of bioengineering hyper-elastic tubes based on different material models
( Springer , 2019 , Article)In this research, nonlinear vibrations of a hyper-elastic tube accounting for large deflection and moderate rotation have been examined. The hyper-elastic tube is assumed to be surrounded by a nonlinear hardening elastic ... -
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 ... -
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) ... -
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 ... -
Highly efficient nonenzymatic glucose sensors based on CuO nanoparticles
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)In this work, copper nanoparticles using three different modes are synthesized and evaluated for electrochemical properties towards non-enzymatic glucose biosensors. Copper oxide nanoparticles thus obtained are characterized ... -
Probing the effect of combustion controlled surface alloying in silver and copper towards ORR and OER in alkaline medium
