Machine learning-based shear capacity prediction and reliability analysis of shear-critical RC beams strengthened with inorganic composites
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The application of inorganic composites has proven to be an effective strengthening technique for shear-critical reinforced concrete (RC) beams. However, accurate prediction of the shear capacity of RC beams strengthened ...
Behavior of artificially corroded RC beams strengthened with CFRP and hybrid CFRP-GFRP laminates
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Steel corrosion is a major degradation factor for the reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure and necessitates a costly repair after short service life. Predicting the strength of corroded and retrofitted structural elements ...
Impact of high turbidity on reverse osmosis: Evaluation of pretreatment processes
(
Desalination Publications
, 2020 , Article)
This study evaluates the performance of sand filtration (SF) and ultra-filtration (UF) as pretreat-ment processes for reverse osmosis (RO) for seawater with turbidities of 4.8, 23.2, and 99.7 NTU. For seawater with a ...
Magnetic nanoparticles draw solution for forward osmosis: Current status and future challenges in wastewater treatment
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Forward osmosis is considered as the least energy intensive membrane process since it operates based on the osmotic pressure gradient. However, it is still considered as immature technology mainly due to the elevated cost ...
MXene (Ti3 C2 Tx )/Cellulose Acetate Mixed-Matrix Membrane Enhances Fouling Resistance and Rejection in the Crossflow Filtration Process
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Obstacles in the membrane-based separation field are mainly related to membrane fouling. This study involved the synthesis and utilization of covalently crosslinked MXene/cellulose acetate mixed matrix membranes with MXene ...
A hybrid nf-fo-ro process for the supply of irrigation water from treated wastewater: Simulation study
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
Municipal treated wastewater could be considered as a water source for food crop irrigation purposes. Enhancing the quality of treated wastewater to meet irrigation standards has become a necessary practice. Nanofiltration ...
Comparison of nanofiltration with reverse osmosis in reclaiming tertiary treated municipal wastewater for irrigation purposes
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
This study compares the performance of nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) for the reclamation of ultrafiltered municipal wastewater for irrigation of food crops. RO and NF technologies were evaluated at different ...
Investigating nonlinear forced vibration behavior of multi-phase nanocomposite annular sector plates using Jacobi elliptic functions
(
Techno-Press
, 2020 , Article)
A multi-scale epoxy/CNT/fiberglass annular sector plate is studied in this paper in the view of determining nonlinear forced vibration characteristics. A 3D Mori-Tanaka model is employed for evaluating multi-scale material ...
Nonlinear forced vibrations of multi-scale epoxy/CNT/fiberglass truncated conical shells and annular plates via 3D Mori-Tanaka scheme
(
Techno-Press
, 2020 , Article)
In the context of classic conical shell formulation, nonlinear forced vibration analysis of truncated conical shells and annular plates made of multi-scale epoxy/CNT/fiberglass composites has been presented. The composite ...
Assessment of transient vibrations of graphene oxide reinforced plates under pulse loads using finite strip method
(
Techno Press
, 2020 , Article)
Based on a refined shear deformation finite strip, transient vibrations of graphene oxide powder (GOP) reinforced plates due to external pulse loads have been investigated. The plate has uniformly and linearly distributed ...
