A three dimensional extended Arlequin method for dynamic fracture
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
We propose a concurrent multiscale method for fracture coupling two three-dimensional continuum domains. Fracture in both domains is treated by the extended finite element method. The coupling is based on the Arlequin ...
Hierarchical honeycomb auxetic metamaterials
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Most conventional materials expand in transverse directions when they are compressed uniaxially resulting in the familiar positive Poisson’s ratio. Here we develop a new class of two dimensional (2D) metamaterials with ...
A learning factory: Enhancing societal needs awareness and innovation through manufacturing class
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Article)
The manufacturing course is a common course in most Mechanical and Industrial Engineering programs around the world. In this course, various aspects of product design and manufacturing process selection are discussed. ...
A new pedagogic modules for training graduate student in research methodology
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Research Methodology is a required course common to most graduate programs globally. The applied research methodology course at the College of Engineering, Qatar University is a compulsory course for all graduate students. ...
Mucoadhesive chitosan derivatives as novel drug carriers
(
Bentham Science Publishers B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Chitosan on its own is a well-established natural polymer and is widely regarded as a biodegradable, biocompatible and nontoxic material for drug delivery applications. Although unmodified chitosan has some mucoadhesive ...
Nanosilver loaded GelMA hydrogel for antimicrobial coating of biomedical implants
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Bacterial adhesion to the surface of implants in surgical procedures represents a major problem in surgeries, as it incurs high medical costs and could lead to postoperative infections. Different strategies have been ...
Experimental studies and computer modeling of viscoelastic properties of heart valve leaflets: Implication in heart valve tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Diseased or damaged heart valve leaflets are amongst the major causes of illness and death globally. The currently available treatment of heart valve patients is to mend the damaged valves, but in most severe cases, heart ...
Porcine cholecyst derived extracellular matrix (p-CEM) for reconstruction of full thickness skin wounds in rats
(
Elsevier GmbH
, 2015 , Article)
An acellular cholecyst derived extracellular matrix (p-CEM) of porcine origin was prepared using anionic biological detergent. Healing potential of (p-CEM) was compared with commercially available collagen sheet (b-CS) and ...
Electrospun PET-PU scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is projected to continuously increase in the coming decades, with a colossal associated cost of treatment. In the US alone, 83.6 million people are estimated to have one or ...
Effect of bone density on the compressive mechanical properties of bovine trabecular bone
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The density of bone is subject to change due to natural causes or bone abnormalities and disorders such as osteopenia, osteomalacia and osteoporosis. One of the most concerning attributes of osteoporosis is its non-expressive ...
