Optimization of piezoelectric sensor-actuator for plate vibration control using evolutionary computation: Modeling, simulation and experimentation
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
The development of lightweight, stronger, and more flexible structures has received the utmost interest from many researchers. For this reason, piezoelectric materials, with their inherent electromechanical coupling, have ...
Combined effects of treated domestic wastewater, fly ash, and calcium nitrite toward concrete sustainability
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The drastic increase in freshwater and ordinary Portland cement (OPC) consumption poses severe environmental and economic challenges worldwide. This study; therefore, explores the mechanical and durability properties of ...
Thermal integrity testing of cast in situ piles: An alternative interpretation approach
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Integrity testing of deep cast in situ concrete foundations is challenging due to the intrinsic nature of how these foundations are formed. Several integrity test methods have been developed and are well established, but ...
Smart City Applications: Promoting comfort, health and well-being through Sustainable Smart Urban Design (S2UD) in Msheireb Downtown
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This study explores the Msheireb Downtown Project by studying the design qualities and adopted applications of its public open spaces (POS). We uncover their roles in the smart city design system with an eye for how they ...
A framework for the analysis of damage and recovery characteristics of asphalt mixtures
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2020 , Article)
This study presents two approaches for evaluating damage and recovery characteristics of asphalt mixtures. The first approach focuses on determining damage by extracting recoverable viscoelastic strain that has no damage ...
Forced vibration characteristics of embedded graphene oxide powder reinforced metal foam nanocomposite plate in thermal environment
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Dynamic behavior of a new class of nanocomposites consisted of metal foam as matrix and graphene oxide powders as reinforcement is presented in this study in the framework of forced vibration. Graphene oxide powders are ...
Magnetorheological elastomer-based variable stiffness flexible coupling for vibration isolation
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2021 , Article)
Rotating mechanical equipment such as pumps and motors can suffer from unattenuated torsional vibration. The causes of such vibration range from imbalance within the rotating system to misalignment, or even operating at ...
Electrodeposition of Duplex Ni–B–Zn/Co Composite Coatings
(2020 , Article)
This research article focusses on the Ni–B–Zn/Co composite coatings synthesized via an electrodeposition process. Electrodeposited Ni–B composite coatings have several advantages, such as excellent corrosion as well as ...
Highly crystalline and thermally stable poly(aniline-co-2-nitroaniline)
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Article)
Abstract: To synthesize a crystalline polymer is unconventional. Here, we found the well-defined hexagonal or rectangular cubical shape of poly(aniline-co-2-nitroaniline)s PA-co-2-NAs through scanning electron microscopy. ...
A novel solar integrated distillation and cooling system – Design and analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
To meet the high cooling and fresh water demands in hot and arid regions, a novel integrated solar cooling and solar distillation system is introduced. The system consists of a solar ejector cooling system integrated with ...
