Design and analysis of flexible joints for a robust 3d printed prosthetic hand
( IEEE Computer Society , 2019 , Conference Paper)In war-affected regions in the world, limb loss is one of the leading injuries. The need for low-cost, low-maintenance prostheses arises. The rapid developments in 3D printing allows us to investigate robotic or prosthetic ... -
Effects of Turbulence Intensity and Biogas Composition on the Localized Forced Ignition of Turbulent Mixing Layers
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)Three-dimensional compressible Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) have been used to investigate the localized forced ignition of statistically planar mixing layers of biogas/air mixtures for different levels of turbulence ... -
New characteristics of optimal solutions for the two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)The two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers with the objective of minimising the makespan (F2||Cmax) is addressed. Johnson’s algorithm finds optimal solutions (permutations) to this problem, but are not necessarily ... -
Effect of copper-nickel interlayer thickness on laser welding-brazing of Mg/Ti alloy
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Dissimilar lap joining of AZ31B Mg alloy to Cu-Ni coated Ti-6Al-4V was carried out by laser welding-brazing method. The effect of Cu and Ni contents on interfacial reaction and joint fracture load were analyzed. For the ... -
Highly active and stable bi-functional NiCoO2 catalyst for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions in alkaline medium
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Single step solution combustion technique was used to synthesize NiO, Co3O4 and NiCoO2 mixed metal oxide with good crystallinity and uniform properties. XRD spectrum indicates the existence of cubic NiCoO2 phase without ... -
Finite element study of functionally graded porous femoral stems incorporating body-centered cubic structure
( Blackwell Publishing Inc. , 2019 , Article)The mismatch between stiffness of the femoral dense stem and host bone causes complications to patients, such as aseptic loosening and bone resorption. Three‐dimensional finite‐element models of homogeneous porous (HGP) ... -
Guided ultrasonic wave tomography of a pipe bend exposed to environmental conditions: A long-term monitoring experiment
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Continuous monitoring of corrosion damage in pipelines requires sensor systems that can achieve high precision (repeatability) to detect and size subtle wall thickness (WT) losses. In fact, corrosion typically progresses ... -
Highly efficient nonenzymatic glucose sensors based on CuO nanoparticles
