FAI: Fast, accurate, and intelligent approach and prediction tool for flexural capacity of FRP-RC beams based on super-learner machine learning model
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have recently been considered in the field of structural engineering as one of the best alternatives to conventional steel reinforcement due to their high tensile strength, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Towards Gas Hydrate-Free Pipelines: A Comprehensive Review of Gas Hydrate Inhibition Techniques
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article Review)
Gas hydrate blockage is a major issue that the production and transportation processes in the oil/gas industry faces. The formation of gas hydrates in pipelines results in significant financial losses and serious safety ...
Self-Healing Silicones for Outdoor High Voltage Insulation: Mechanism, Applications and Measurements
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article Review)
This paper discusses the state of the art in the application of self-healing silicone-based materials for outdoor high-voltage insulation. Both the dynamic behavior of the dimethyl side groups of silicone rubber and the ...
Long-Term Treatment of Highly Saline Brine in a Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) Pilot Unit Using Polyethylene Membranes
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Membrane distillation (MD) is an attractive separation process for wastewater treatment and desalination. There are continuing challenges in implementing MD technologies at a large industrial scale. This work attempts to ...
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 ...
Influence of combined natural deep eutectic solvent and polyacrylamide on the flocculation and rheological behaviors of bentonite dispersion
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The influence of hybrid coagulation/ flocculation systems on the degree of flocculation and rheological behavior of highly stable bentonite suspension has been investigated throughout this study. Natural deep eutectic ...
Geometrically nonlinear vibration analysis of eccentrically stiffened porous functionally graded annular spherical shell segments
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2022 , Article)
This article investigates nonlinear free vibrations of porous functionally graded (FG) annular spherical shell segments surrounded by elastic medium and reinforced by circumferential stiffeners. Porous FG material contains ...
Synergistic Behavior of Polyethyleneimine and Epoxy Monomers Loaded in Mesoporous Silica as a Corrosion-Resistant Self-Healing Epoxy Coating
(
American Chemical Society
, 2022 , Article)
Corrosion is a significant problem and is, to a large extent, responsible for the degradation of metallic parts. In this direction, mesoporous silica particles (MSPs) were synthesized by a sol–gel technique and had an ...
