Correlating process parameters to thrust forces and torque in the friction stir processing of AZ31B by Ammouri, Ali

“…Introduced in this work are correlations that capture the behavior of thrust force and torque vs. input process parameters in friction stir processing (FSP) of twin-roll cast (TRC) AZ3 IB. The correlations are based on the findings of an experimentally validated robust 3D FE model that was used to simulate the FSP process at different values of tool rotational and traverse speeds. …”

Enhancing Thermal Comfort for the Revitalization of Pedestrian-Friendly Shopping Arcades in Dubai, UAE by RAJEEV, ANN MARIA

“…Using ENVI-met software, simulations are conducted in three stages: urban materials, building facade materials, and vegetation and landscaping, encompassing thirteen different combinations to examine four key aspects: temperature, humidity, wind speed, and PMV value, which significantly affect outdoor thermal comfort. The most favorable cases are selected from each phase, and the final reduction in temperature and PMV values of the optimized case indicates a substantial decrease of 3.76 degrees Celsius in air temperature post-implementation of passive design strategies. …”
