Shear Strength of Fiber Reinforced Recycled Aggregate Concrete
(MDPI, 2020)
In this paper, shear strength of fiber reinforced recycled concrete was investigated. A Self Consolidated Concrete (SCC) matrix with 100% coarse recycled aggregate and different types of fibers were used in the study. Steel ...
Environmental Analysis of Sustainable and Traditional Cooling and Lubrication Strategies during Machining Processes
(MDPI, 2020)
Due to rising demands of replacing traditional cooling strategies with sustainable cooling strategies, the development of sustainable strategies such as minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) of nano-cutting fluids (NCFs) is ...
Modeling of fiber bridging in fluid flow for well stimulation applications
(Springer, 2020)
Accurate acid placement constitutes a major concern in matrix stimulation because the acid tends to penetrate the zones of least resistance while leaving the low-permeability regions of the formation untreated. Degradable ...
A Micromorphic Beam Theory for Beams with Elongated Microstructures
(Nature, 2020)
A novel micromorphic beam theory that considers the exact shape and size of the beam’s microstructure is developed. The new theory complements the beam theories that are based on the classical mechanics by modeling the ...
Optimization of a Confined Jet Geometry to Improve Film Cooling Performance Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM)
(MDPI, 2020)
This study investigates the interrelated parameters affecting heat transfer from a hot gas flowing on a flat plate while cool air is injected adjacent to the flat plate. The cool air forms an air blanket that shield the ...
Low-Cost Reduced Navigation System for Mobile Robot in Indoor/Outdoor Environments
(IEEE Access, 2020)
This paper presents a low-cost based approach for solving the navigation problem of wheeled mobile robots to perform required tasks within indoor and outdoor environments. The presented solution is based on probabilistic ...
Identifying Friction in a Nonlinear Chaotic System Using a Universal Adaptive Stabilizer
(IEEE, 2022-04)
This paper proposes a friction model parameter identification routine that can work with highly nonlinear and chaotic systems. The chosen system for this study is a passively-actuated tilted Furuta pendulum, which is known ...
Evaluating velocity and temperature fields for Ranque Hilsch vortex tube using numerical simulation
(Elsevier, 2021)
In this study, a three-dimensional numerical investigation is carried out to study the flow field inside a Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube (RHVT) model. Flow parameters such as velocity, temperature, and pressure are plotted at ...
Role of Active Morphing in the Aerodynamic Performance of Flapping Wings in Formation Flight
(MDPI, 2021)
Migratory birds have the ability to save energy during flight by arranging themselves in a V-formation. This arrangement enables an increase in the overall efficiency of the group because the wake vortices shed by each of ...
Development of a Flexible Framework Multi-Design Optimization Scheme for a Hand Launched Fuel Cell-Powered UAV
(MDPI, 2021)
This paper presents different methods for the design of a hand-launchable, fixed wing, fuel cell-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to maximize flight endurance during steady level flight missions. The proposed design ...
