Soil-concrete interface properties subjected to temperature changes and cycles using direct shear tests
(
American Society of Civil Engineers Library (ASCE Library)
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Geothermal foundations (energy piles) combine the structural function of deep foundations with the ground source heat exchangers to transfer geothermal energy to superstructures. The intermittent operation of the geothermal ...
Geothermal energy extraction from decommissioned petroleum wells
(
International Society for Rock Mechanics
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Abandoned wells impose enduring liabilities to petroleum companies and/or governments. However, the depth and abundance of abandoned petroleum wells make them an economically attractive source of geothermal energy. Geothermal ...
A novel technique for extraction of geothermal energy from abandoned oil wells
(2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the possibility of design and construction of a geothermal heat exchanger suitable for installation in abandoned oil wells. Based on the in-situ data collected, an amenable heat transfer numerical ...
Heat transfer analysis of regenerative thermo-mechanical refrigeration system
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Refrigeration systems contribute to the critical environmental concerns including global warming and ozone depletion. It is necessary to develop new systems that use renewable energy resources and waste heat to perform the ...
Integrated assortment planning and store-wide shelf space allocation: An optimization-based approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This paper investigates retail assortment planning along with store-wide shelf space allocation in a manner that maximizes the overall store profit. Each shelf comprises a set of contiguous segments whose attractiveness ...
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 ...
TiO2 nanotube coating on stainless steel 304 for biomedical applications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
The present study describes the anodic growth of TiO2 nanotube thin layer on stainless steel 304 in ethylene glycol/water/ammonium fluoride electrolyte. In this regard, pure titanium was coated on stainless steel 304 ...
Spiderweb Honeycombs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Small and large deformation in-plane elastic response of a new class of hierarchical fractal-like honeycombs inspired by the topology of the “spiderweb” were investigated through analytical modeling, detailed numerical ...
