Enhancing compressive, tensile, thermal and damping response of pure Al using BN nanoparticles by Penchal Reddy M.

“…The addition of BN nanoparticulates enhanced the damping characteristics of pure Al with Al-1.5 vol.% BN nanocomposite exhibiting the maximum damping capacity and damping loss rate with a minimum change in elastic modulus. The improved combination of properties exhibited by Al-BN nanocomposites make them potential candidates for a wide spectrum of industries especially for weight critical applications.…”

Event-Triggered fault detection, isolation and control design of linear systems by Davoodi, M.R.

“…It is shown that by using an event-Triggered technique applied to both the sensor and filter nodes, the amount of data that is sent through the sensor-To-filter and filter-To-Actuator channels are dramatically decreased. A set of linear matrix inequality (LMI) feasibility conditions are derived to ensure the solvability of the problem as well as to simultaneously obtain the filter parameters and the event-Triggered conditions. …”

Pore-scale simulation of fine particles migration in porous media using coupled CFD-DEM by Elrahmani, Ahmed

“…The time required to develop bridging and subsequent clogging of the pore space that lead to permeability reduction decreases as the flow velocity increases. The size of the fine particles has a significant impact on permeability reduction where the reduction in permeability increases as the size of particles increases. …”

Locations of Temporary Distribution Facilities for Emergency Response Planning by Pradhananga, Rojee

“…However, prepositioned facilities may be small in numbers and distribution of resources to the affected area may require additional funds for transportation and other overhead costs. In such a case, distribution of resources through a number of temporary facilities, located near the demand centers can significantly improve the distribution process thereby decreasing the supply response time. …”
