A sensitivity analysis approach to identify key environmental performance factors
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2014 , Article)
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is widely used in design phase to reduce the product's environmental impacts through the whole product life cycle (PLC) during the last two decades. The traditional LCA is restricted to assessing ...
Developing a framework for calculating LCA normalization factors for the State of Qatar
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) has recently emerged as a powerful tool for assessing the environmental impact of materials, systems and processes used in building construction. With its ability to clarify the ambiguities of the ...
Replacement policies for age and working numbers with random life cycle
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
It has been modeled for several replacement policies in literatures that the whole life cycle or operating interval of an operating unit should be finite rather than infinite as is done with the traditional method. However, ...
A new thermal integrity method for pile anomaly detection
(
DEStech Publications Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Anomaly detection is a hot topic in pile construction which is a complex one due to the intrinsic nature of underground structures, such as limited accessibility, large depth and complex soil profile. Several traditional ...
3D capture techniques for BIM enabled LCM
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
As a special kind of Product Life cyle Management (PLM), Building Life cycle Management (BLM) is a centric activity for facility owners and managers. This fact motivates the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) ...
Zero-/Low-Speed Operation of Multiphase Drive Systems With Modular Multilevel Converters
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based AC motor drives are emerging trend-research. They ease medium-/high-voltage handling in high-power applications with reduced footprint and life-cycle costs. A known challenge ...
Transient gas turbine performance diagnostics through nonlinear adaptation of compressor and turbine maps
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
Gas turbines are faced with new challenges of increasing flexibility in their operation while reducing their life cycle costs, leading to new research priorities and challenges. One of these challenges involves the ...
Application of a property-based inherently safety quantification framework for integrating risk assessment into process safety life cycle
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Process plant involves different types of risks which need to be managed appropriately to avoid dangerous incidents. Some risks are associated with design decisions such as choice of unit, chemicals or design layout etc. ...
