Criticality measures for components with multi-dimensional degradation
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2014 , Article)Failures of engineering structures and equipment are often attributed to the failure of a single component. Hence, it is important to identify critical components in a system and understand how a component's criticality ... -
Crushing analysis and multi-objective optimization of different length bi-thin walled cylindrical structures under axial impact loading
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)This article attempts to increase the crashworthiness characteristics of energy absorbers. It is found that the effect of the bi-tubular arrangement on the energy absorption and peak force is nonlinear. This nonlinearity ... -
Deep learning for crop yield prediction: a systematic literature review
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2022 , Article Review)Deep Learning has been applied for the crop yield prediction problem, however, there is a lack of systematic analysis of the studies. Therefore, this study aims to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art application ... -
Development of remdesivir repositioning as a nucleotide analog against COVID-19 RNA dependent RNA polymerase
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2020 , Article)Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative representative of a severe respiratory illness resulted in widespread human infections and deaths in nearly all of the countries since late 2019. ... -
Effect of ageing on asphalt binders in the State of Qatar: a case study
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article)Ageing of asphalt binders has a significant impact on the rheological properties of asphalt binders and thus affects the performance of asphalt pavements. The rate of binder ageing is accelerated at high temperatures. This ... -
Effect of crushable blockouts on a full-scale guardrail system
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article)Since the performance of the guardrail system depends in part on the compatibility of vehicle-to-roadside hardware, it is important to improve the interaction of the vehicle with the guardrail system by adding more compliance ... -
Effect of hexagonal on the in-plane crushing behaviour of plain weave composite hexagonal quadruple ring system
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)In this study, an experimental investigation into the crushing behaviour of one dimensional composite hexagonal cellular structure between two plates has been carried out. The materials have been used to accomplish the ... -
Effect of interfacial friction and fold penetration on the progressive collapse of foam-filled frustum using kinematically admissible model
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2018 , Article)In this article, we extend our earlier analytical efforts of the progressive collapse of foam-filled conical frustum with the aid of a kinematically admissible folding mechanism. The instantaneous crushing force as well ... -
Engineering instructors' professional agency development and identity renegotiation through engaging in pedagogical change towards PBL
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2021 , Article)This qualitative longitudinal study explored three engineering instructors' professional agency in implementing project-based learning (PBL), including multiple sets of data (18 interviews, observations, and written ... -
Evaluating the effect of antiscalants on membrane biofouling using FTIR and multivariate analysis
