Recent developments in forward osmosis membranes using carbon-based nanomaterials
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article Review)
Contamination and industrial development are among the reasons for water quality deterioration beyond treatability by conventional processes. Unfortunately, conventional water and wastewater treatment technologies are not ...
A state of the art review on condition assessment models developed for sewer pipelines
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
In order to achieve an efficient and a successful operation and maintenance plan for assets, management personnel should have detailed information on the condition of the assets to make informed strategic decisions and ...
Structural health monitoring with self-organizing maps and artificial neural networks
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
The use of self-organizing maps and artificial neural networks for structural health monitoring is presented in this paper. The authors recently developed a nonparametric structural damage detection algorithm for extracting ...
3D synchrotron computed tomography study on the influence of fines on gas driven fractures in Sandy Sediments
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Production of methane from hydrate-bearing sediments requires hydrate dissociation for releasing
mobile methane gas in sediments prior to gas production operations. Fines may migrate through or
clog the pore space of ...
Comparison of dual stage ultrafiltration and hybrid ultrafiltration-forward osmosis process for harvesting microalgae (Tetraselmis sp.) biomass
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
In this study, a hybrid ultrafiltration-forward osmosis system was compared with a dual stage ultrafiltration process for the harvesting of marine microalgae. To the best of the author's knowledge none of the previous ...
Shear span-to-depth ratio effect on steel reinforced grout strengthened reinforced concrete beams
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The effect of the shear span-to-depth (a/d) ratio on the shear behavior of steel reinforced grout (SRG)-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams is experimentally investigated. Four critical shear spans corresponding ...
Control of plate vibrations with artificial neural networks and piezoelectricity
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a method for active vibration control of smart thin cantilever plates. For model formulation needed for controller design and simulations, finite difference technique is used on the cantilever plate ...
Investigating nonlinear forced vibration behavior of multi-phase nanocomposite annular sector plates using Jacobi elliptic functions
(
Techno-Press
, 2020 , Article)
A multi-scale epoxy/CNT/fiberglass annular sector plate is studied in this paper in the view of determining nonlinear forced vibration characteristics. A 3D Mori-Tanaka model is employed for evaluating multi-scale material ...
Convolutional neural networks for real-time and wireless damage detection
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Structural damage detection methods available for structural health monitoring applications are based on data preprocessing, feature extraction, and feature classification. The feature classification task requires considerable ...
Dynamic Imaging of Hydrate Specific Area Evolution during Xenon Hydrate Formation
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Gas hydrates are ice-like structures formed under high pressure and low temperature
conditions. They are considered as a potential energy source due to their abundance
and the increase in energy demand worldwide. A fundamental ...
