Axial pull-out response of a small-scale concrete pile subjected to cyclic thermal loading in sand
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Energy piles support structural loads and exchange heat with surrounding soils using closed-loop ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. A GSHP connected to an energy pile operates in cycles where it functions for a period ...
Experimental characterization of a tactile sensor for surgical applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
© 2018 IEEE. This paper presents an improved piezoelectric sensor fabricated using reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-filled polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer composite that is able to sense the linear force applied onto its ...
Anti-spoofing device for biometric fingerprint scanners
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Biometrics is a promising technology for safeguarding the personal identity and digital information of every individual. This paper describes an easy-to-integrate and inexpensive method to improve the security of fingerprint ...
Mathematical model for thin-walled corrugated tube under axial compression
(
EDP Sciences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this research, theoretical investigation of corrugated aluminum tubes is performed to predicting the energy absorption characteristics. Aim to deform plastic tubes in predetermined intervals, corrugations are introduced ...
Reliability estimation of load sharing capacity-c-out-of-n pairs:G Balanced system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In many cases, systems are required to provide a specified capacity such as the case of power distribution system. A system fails when its capacity does not meet the required minimum capacity. In this paper, we investigate ...
Ethanol dehydrogenation mechanism on cuni catalysts for hydrogen production
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Ethanol dehydrogenation mechanism was investigated over catalysts containing Cu and Ni metals prepared by solution combustion synthesis. In situ DRIFTS studies were conducted on individual metals (Cu and Ni) as well as on ...
The attributes of future 2030 engineers in Qatar for innovation and knowledge based economy
(
American Society for Engineering Education
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Recent studies emphasize the needs of a wider set of skills engineers require than ever thought. These studies continue to emphasize that technical content knowledge and competencies are essential for any engineer; however, ...
Recovery behavior of artificial skin materials after object contact
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
As social robots and lifelike prosthetics get into closer contact with humans, understanding the mechanical behavior of the embedding skin materials for prosthetic and social robotic fingertips is of great importance. The ...
Investigating the corrosion under insulation (CUI) on steel pipe exposed to Arabian Gulf sea water drops
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper is an endeavor to investigate an insulated mild steel pipe that exposed to three sea water drops rate (10, 30, and 50 drops/minute) at room temperature. Various experimental strategies were employed including ...
Preventive replacement policies with aging failure and third-part damage
(
SciTePress
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In general, corrosions, degrading the mechanical strength of pipelines gradually with its age in a stochastic way, is the predominant cause of pipeline leaks. In addition, the third-part damage is the leading cause of ...
