Application of Metastructures for Targeted Low-Frequency Vibration Suppression in Plates
(2022 , Software)
In this paper, we present an approach that combines finite element analysis and genetic algorithms to find the optimal configuration of local resonators created in the host structure to suppress their vibration in a target ...
Pedestrians’ Microscopic Walking Dynamics in Single-File Movement: The Influence of Gender
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Demographics of individuals could largely influence their behaviors and interactions with surrounding pedestrians. This study investigates the influence of pedestrians’ gender on microscopic walking dynamics of single-file ...
Shear strength of recycled-aggregate concrete beams with glass-FRP stirrups
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The combined use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement in reinforced concrete (RC) structures is deemed plausible to achieve sustainable construction. This paper aims ...
Experiences with licensing by autistic drivers: An exploratory study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Autistic individuals obtain their driver's licenses significantly less or significantly later than non-autistic peers. In the past, research has been done on what problems autistic individuals experience when (learning to) ...
Novel and robust machine learning approach for estimating the fouling factor in heat exchangers
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The fouling factor (Rf) is an operating index for measuring an undesirable effect of solids’ deposition on
the heat transfer ability of heat exchangers. Accurate prediction of the fouling factor helps appropriate
scheduling ...
Bond performance of tensile lap-spliced basalt-FRP reinforcement in high-strength concrete beams
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This paper investigates the bond between high-strength concrete (HSC) and tensile lap-spliced basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars. Ten large-scale BFRP-reinforced concrete beams (300 x 450 x 3900 mm) were fabricated ...
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, ...
Assessment of School Bus Assistant’s Safety Perspective in the State of Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
School Bus Assistants (SBA) are appointed to bridge the communication gap between students and drivers, and to ensure the safety of students on the school buses. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety procedures ...
Investigation of the effect of surfactant on the electrokinetic treatment of PFOA contaminated soil
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a persistent, nonbiodegradable environmental pollutant progressively becoming more problematic. Due to its ubiquitous use, PFOA is one of the PFAS chemicals frequently detected in the ...
An international comparative study on driving attitudes and behaviors based on questionnaire surveys
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Road traffic crashes (RTCs) are influenced by a driver's awareness and attitude toward road safety, as well as the socio-economic status, infrastructure development level, traffic status, social system, and traffic safety ...
