Modelling the dynamic pile-soil-pile interaction in a multi-layered half-space
(
DC/ConfOrg
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Within the context of railway ground-borne vibration, the dynamic pile-soil-pile interaction remains an area that has not been sufficiently investigated. Whilst a number of researchers have scrutinised the vibration response ...
Effect of rail unevenness correlation on the prediction of ground-borne vibration from railways
(
DC/ConfOrg
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the influence of rail unevenness correlation on the predicted track and ground vibration. The study is based on an integrated railway model in the wavenumber-frequency domain with varying complexity ...
Quantifying morphology of sands using 3D imaging
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2015 , Article)
Particle morphology plays a significant role in influencing engineering behavior of granular materials. Surface texture, roundness, and sphericity represent distinct multiscale measures needed to fully describe particle ...
Effect of binary mixture of waste plastics on the thermal behavior of pyrolysis process
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2015 , Article)
Waste plastic is non-biodegradable material that does not decompose naturally for a long time. The pyrolysis process is a reliable method to decompose plastic wastes, which involves breaking of the heavy carbon chains and ...
Ionic liquid design for enhanced carbon dioxide capture by computer-aided molecular design approach
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
Carbon capture and storage is an emerging technology to mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial sources such as power plants. Post-combustion capture based on aqueous amine scrubbing is one of the most ...
Multi-objective optimization methodology to size cogeneration systems for managing flares from uncertain sources during abnormal process operations
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Flaring is common practice in industries to reduce the risk during abnormal situations, to maintain the product quality or to operate safely during process start up and shut down. Due to its large negative impacts on the ...
In situ electron microscopy of Braille microsystems: Photoactuation of ethylene vinyl acetate/carbon nanotube composites
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
The development of new types of tactile displays based on the actuation of composite materials can aid the visually impaired. Micro/nano systems based on ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polymeric matrices enriched with ...
Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene Copolymer Doped with Expanded Graphite Nanoplatelets
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2015 , Article)
The molecular dynamics of a triblock copolymer and of expanded graphite nanoplatelets were investigated. Composites were prepared using the solution technique. The effects of filler addition and of filler-matrix interactions ...
Pragmatic probe: Preference and satisfaction with built environment
(
Penerbit UTM Press
, 2015 , Article)
Enhancing the quality of urban life is considered by social scientists. It has instigated a growing attention in findings from surveys aiming to measure the inhabitant image in particular places. This paper investigates ...
Enhancing staff's satisfaction with comfort toward productivity by sustainable Open Plan Office Design
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Several sustainable building assessment tools have been developed globally to manage sustainability in building's indoor environment. The sustainable building assessment tools (SBATs) measure the user's satisfaction and ...
