Methods for modeling and evaluating construction disputes: A critical review
(
IEEE
, 2020 , Article)
Cost and time are the targeted outcomes of any successful construction project, and disputes over these two key factors constitute a major obstacle to successful project outcomes. As escalated levels of dispute are becoming ...
Future cities and autonomous vehicles: analysis of the barriers to full adoption
(
KeAi Communications Co.
, 2021 , Article)
The inevitable upcoming technology of autonomous vehicles (AVs) will affect our cities and several aspects of our lives. The widespread adoption of AVs repose at crossing distinct barriers that prevent their full adoption. ...
Stochastic management of hybrid AC/DC microgrids considering electric vehicles charging demands
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The high growth of the automotive industry reveals the very bright future of this technology and its high penetration effects on the human society. No doubt that the random and volatile charging demand of these devices ...
An experimental and numerical investigation of the effects of the diaphragm pressure ratio and its position on a heated shock tube performance
(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2022 , Article)
The main purpose of this work was to investigate the performance of heated shock tube (ST) with different pressure ratios and diaphragm positions numerically and experimentally. The numerical model was developed to simulate ...
Bond durability and service life prediction of BFRP bars to steel FRC under aggressive environmental conditions
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This study presents an experimental investigation on the bond durability of helically wrapped basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars embedded in plain and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) under the combined ...
An Anchor-Based Localization in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks for Industrial Oil Pipeline Monitoring
(
IEEE Canada
, 2022 , Article)
Industries need solutions that can automatically monitor oil leakage from deployed underwater pipelines and to rapidly report any damage. The location prediction of mineral reservoirs like oil, gas, or metals in deep water ...
Parametric Estimation from Empirical Data Using Particle Swarm Optimization Method for Different Magnetorheological Damper Models
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
The nonlinearity behaviour of magnetorheological fluid (MRF) can be described using a number of established models such as Bingham and Modified Bouc-Wen models. Since these models require the identification of model ...
Fractional-order controllers for stick-slip vibration mitigation in oil well drill-strings
(
SAGE
, 2021 , Article)
Drillstring–borehole interaction can produce severely damaging vibrations. An example is stick–slip vibration, which negatively affects drilling performance, tool integrity and completion time, and costs. Attempts to ...
Modified zeolite/polysulfone mixed matrix membrane for enhanced CO2/CH4 separation
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
In recent years, mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have received worldwide attention for their potential to offer superior gas permeation and separation performance involving CO2 and CH4. However, fabricating defect-free MMMs ...
Robust and General Model to Forecast the Heat Transfer Coefficient for Flow Condensation in Multi Port Mini/Micro‐Channels
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2022 , Article)
A general correlation for predicting the two‐phase heat transfer coefficient (HTC) during condensation inside multi‐port mini/micro‐channels was presented. The model was obtained by correlating the two‐phase multiplier, ...
