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 ...
Effect of individually controlled personalized ventilation on cross-contamination due to respiratory activities
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
While personalized ventilation (PV) has been integrated to enhance inhaled air quality, some studies showed that it can contribute to contaminants' transport indoors. This work investigates the effect of the individual ...
Analysis and optimization of concentrated solar power plant for application in arid climate
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
In this research study, the concentrated solar power (CSP) technology is reviewed for designing and optimizing a CSP tower plant for arid climate regions such as Qatar. A database for all CSP projects around the world is ...
In-plane stress analysis of multiple parallel cracks in an orthotropic FGM medium under time-harmonic loading
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This study aimed to investigate the fracture behavior of a cracked orthotropic FGM medium when exposed to an in-plane harmonic load. The mechanical feature of the medium exponentially varied along the y-axis. Using the ...
Numerical evaluation of the thermal performance of a near-surface earth-to-air heat exchanger with short-grass ground cover: A parametric study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
High energy consumption and increasing energy cost have encouraged investment in energy efficiency. In hot areas, like the Middle East, the share of space cooling accounts for most of the total energy use in buildings. ...
The effect of sizing optimization on the interface between high strength steel and fiber reinforced composite
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This paper aims to examine fiber type and fiber orientation’s effects on the interface bonding between steel and fiber-reinforced composites. To this end, fracture loads for modes I and II were experimentally determined. ...
A hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic energy harvester from vortex-induced vibrations in fluid-flow; the influence of boundary condition in tuning the harvester
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
In this paper, a hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic energy harvester is proposed to harvest energy from fluid flow around a bluff-body using vortex-induced vibration (VIV). The hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic harvester ...
Adaptive Electromagnetic Vibration Absorber for a Multimode Structure
(
Assoc. of Mechanical Eng. and Technicians of Slovenia
, 2022 , Article)
All structures experience vibrations due to external dynamic force excitations, such as earthquakes and wind loadings. At resonance, the impact of this natural dynamic force on structures may lead to structural failures. ...
Energy harvesting from railway slab-tracks with continuous slabs
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2023 , Article)
This paper contributes to the literature and development of knowledge in the topic of energy harvesting by presenting the modelling and calculations of energy from vibration of railway tracks due to moving trains on ...
Magnetorheological elastomer-based variable stiffness flexible coupling for vibration isolation
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2021 , Article)
Rotating mechanical equipment such as pumps and motors can suffer from unattenuated torsional vibration. The causes of such vibration range from imbalance within the rotating system to misalignment, or even operating at ...
