Planning and Operation of Smart EV Parking Lots
(2019-05)
Aiming to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and to increase resources security, renewable resources and electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining a lot of global interest. Promoting the use of EVs for consumers requires ...
Classification of Cognitive Workload Levels under Vague Visual Stimulation
(2016-05)
In most applications where humans are involved, it is important to augment the interaction between users and the components of these applications. One significant element is the cognitive state of ...
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Thermal Conductivity Enhancement of Copper-Water Nanofluid
(2012-01)
Nanofluid contains suspended nanoparticles, base fluid and some additives can be used for fluid stability like oleic acid and laurate salt. They are promising mediums to heat and cool high flux systems. Also, their use can ...
Experimental Analysis of High Temperature Shape Memory Polymers for Deployable Structures
(2019-06)
Shape Memory Polymers (SMP) continue to capture interest of the aerospace industry due to their unique properties. Compared to shape memory alloys, this class of smart materials is lighter in weight and can undergo ...
Characterizing the Acoustic Behavior of Hexagonal Periodic Cellular Cores
(2020-12)
Cellular solid cores are used in composite sandwich structures due to their high stiffness to weight ratio. However, owing to their porosity, they are inherently weak and are susceptible to damage due to improper loadings. ...
Solving Fourth Order Differential Non-Linear Equations, Existence and Uniqueness
(2017-05)
The aim of this thesis is to present a novel numerical approach for the solution of a class of non-linear fourth-order boundary value problems. The method is based on embedding Green's function into some fixed point iteration ...
Translating Quasi-Technical Discourse
(2006-12)
In this thesis, the issue of translation across cultures is discussed and the importance of Foreignization and domestication in culture transfer is highlights. The dichotomy, foreignization and domestication, brought to ...
Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with FRP Bars Under Long Exposure to UAE Environment
(2021-03)
Due to the large research pool of Fiber-reinforced Polymers (FRP) reinforcements, their utilization as main reinforcement in concrete structures has gained the trust of the engineering community. In fact, design codes such ...
Behaviour of Shear Deficient Reinforced Concrete Beams with Externally Bonded Aluminum Plates
(2012-06)
Enhancing the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams was done using many different ways and materials. Steel and Fiber reinforced polymers are the most common materials used to strengthen RC beams in shear. ...
