Optimal Operation and Planning of Power System Integrated with Reverse Osmosis Water Desalination
(2021-12)
The typical desalination for seawater in the Gulf area relies on thermal desalination, where the water and electricity are co-generated from fossil fuel thermal plants. These thermal plants are well known to increase CO2 ...
Nonlinear Bending and Snapthrough Response of Doubly Curved Laminated Shells
(2021-04)
Shell structures made up of conventional fiber reinforced composite (FRC) laminates find many applications in engineering fields. In contrary to plate structures, shells exhibit two stable equilibrium configurations. Due ...
Strengthening of Shear Deficient Reinforced Concrete Beams using Anchored CFRP sheets
(2020-05)
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials have been widely implemented to strengthen existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in the past three decades. Studies have shown that externally bonding FRP materials ...
A Comparative Study for Various Coil Geometries in Electric Vehicle Wireless Charging System.
(2020-11)
Inductive coupling wireless power transfer technology is gaining interest in recent years, especially in the field of wireless charging. Range limitations and charging of electric vehicles are major concerns in the modern ...
Stress Management Using Physiological Signals and Audio Stimulation
(2021-11)
Stress has a significant role in the development of a wide variety of mental, psychological, emotional, behavioral, and physical illnesses. Additionally, there is substantial evidence in the literature that stress impairs ...
Finite Element Analysis of Machining Lightweight Syntactic Foams
(2021-04)
Aluminium alloys reinforced with hollow alumina microsphere syntactic foams possess superior physical and mechanical properties such as improved stiffness, peak compressive strength and total specific energy absorption. ...
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. ...
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 ...
