Lateral Earth Pressure on Non-Yielding Walls Supporting Over-Consolidated Sand
(2013-07)
The most important problem associated with retaining wall structures is the additional compaction-induced lateral earth pressure. Currently, none of the available design methods used to calculate the lateral earth force ...
Optimal Routing Protocol in Multimedia Wireless Sensor Networks
(2011-01)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have attracted research interest in recent years due to the significance of the field of applications and the advances in sensor technology. In areas where catastrophic events occur such as ...
CFD Based Airfoil Shape Optimization for Aerodynamic Drag Reduction
(2012-05)
Commercial airplanes generally follow specific flight profiles consisting of take-off, climb, cruise, descend and landing. These flight profiles essentially change the freestream conditions in which the aircrafts operate. ...
A Framework for Predictive Modeling in Sustainable Projects
(2012-05)
Project management systems typically target the completion of a project within budget, on time, and fulfilling stakeholders' expectations and environmental needs from the project. The aim becomes harder to achieve when ...
Modeling Smartphone Power
(2013-06)
Battery technology has not advanced rapidly enough to keep pace with the growing energy demands of today's portable electronics. Leading this critical need for energy are smartphone devices which are being deployed and ...
Modeling of Tool Wear when Turning of TI-6AL-4V Titanium Alloy
(2013-02)
Difficult-to-cut materials are widely used particularly in the aerospace and automotive industries. However, the high cost of processing these materials limits the use of their improved mechanical properties. Tool life is ...
Optimization of Commercially Off the Shelf (COTS) Electric Propulsion System for Low Speed Fuel Cell UAV
(2013-03)
Fuel cell technology offers higher energy density than any other onboard electric power source. However, despite its high energy content per unit mass, the fuel cell is lacking in power density ratio compared to Lithium-Polymer ...
Finite Element Analysis of Splayed Steel Girder Bridges
(2015-06)
A splayed girder bridge is a bridge which consists of a deck slab supported on girders with linearly varying spacing. The simple formulas and approximate design procedures in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications ...
Integrated Renewable Energy Options for HVAC-Cooling Systems
(2013-06)
The demand for energy is increasing at an unexpected rate all over the world. Most of the present worldwide energy usage is based on fossil fuel and results in continuous depletion of this resource. Conventional Heating ...
Effect of Girder Damage on the Structural Behavior of Slab-on-Girder Bridges
(2011-06)
There are many bridges around the world that have been constructed with inadequate vertical clearance. Such bridges are susceptible to over-height vehicle collisions, causing damage to the underside of the supporting ...
