Robust optimization for the discrete time-cost tradeoff problem with cost uncertainty
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Book chapter)
Projects are subject to various sources of uncertainty that hamper reaching project targets; hence, it is crucial importance to use effective approaches to generate robust project schedules, which are less vulnerable to ...
Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of AA 6063 Processed by Severe Plastic Deformation
(
Springer US
, 2015 , Article)
In this study, the mechanical properties, including surface hardness, tensile strength, fatigue, and fretting fatigue behavior of AA 6063 processed by equal channel angular pressing as the most efficient severe shear plastic ...
Multiple parts process planning in serial-parallel flexible flow lines: part I—process plan modeling framework
(
Springer London
, 2015 , Article)
In recent years, integrated process planning and scheduling models have been proposed as solutions that can bridge the gap between practical process planning and production scheduling. However, most structures of these ...
Self-organized TiO2 nanotube layer on Ti–6Al–7Nb for biomedical application
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
In the present study, a self-organized nanotube TiO2 layer on Ti–6Al–7Nb was fabricated. The influence of acidic electrolytes including glycerol (G) and ethylene glycol (EG) on the anodization, microstructural features and ...
Effect of water absorption on the mechanical properties of long date palm leaf fiber reinforced epoxy composites
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
This paper examines the effect of the first 24 hours water absorption on the mechanical properties and morphology of the long date palm leave fiber (DPLF) and unidirectional reinforced epoxy composites. The mechanical ...
A novel robust automated FFT-based segmentation and features selection algorithm for acoustic emission condition based monitoring systems
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This paper aims at developing a robust, fast-response and automated FFT-based features selection algorithm for the development of acoustic emission practical condition based monitoring applications of mechanical systems. ...
Measurements of laminar flame speeds of alternative gaseous fuel mixtures
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
Global warming and the ever increasing emission levels of combustion engines have forced the engine manufacturers to look for alternative fuels for high engine performance and low emissions. Gaseous fuel mixtures such as ...
Engaging Engineering Students in Active Learning and Critical Thinking through Class Debates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Within the program of engineering, typically there are courses that are heavily dependent on mathematics and derivations of fundamental concepts. A lot of active learning can be done in these classes by using the engineering ...
Wear resistance investigation of titanium nitride-based coatings
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
The wear of components while they are in service is a predominant factor controlling the life of machine components. Metal parts are often damaged because of wear-driven failures causing the loss of dimensions and ...
Effect of microstructural evolution on wettability and tribological behavior of TiO2 nanotubular arrays coated on Ti–6Al–4V
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Self-organized TiO2 nanotubular arrays were fabricated by electrochemical anodization of Ti–6Al–4V plates in an NH4F/H3PO4 electrolyte. The effect of microstructural evolutions on the wettability and tribological behavior ...
