An advanced electrospinning method of fabricating nanofibrous patterned architectures with controlled deposition and desired alignment
(2015-11-18)
We introduce a versatile advanced method of electrospinning for fabricating various kinds of nanofibrous patterns along with desired alignment, controlled amount of deposition and locally variable density into the ...
Colour mismatch in compounding of plastics: processing issues and rheological effects
(2015-01-01)
Demand for plastic products is continuously growing with population increase and higher living standards. Imparting colours to plastics is a combination of art and science and plays a key role in production of attractive ...
Development and analysis of solar energy based multigeneration systems
(2015-05-01)
In this thesis three novel multigeneration energy systems are introduced based on renewable resources such as solar and wind energy. The results of the analyses show that, System 1 has a maximum energy efficiency of 43% ...
Experimental and theoretical investigation of novel phase change materials for thermal applications
(2015-08-01)
An experimental investigation is conducted to test the thermal properties, behaviour and characteristics of R134a clathrates with additives, as phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs’ charging characteristics are analysed and ...
Optimal resource sharing and spectrum leasing in energy efficient relay-assisted networks
(2015-07-01)
Assuming a bidirectional relay assisted network, we first study the problem of optimal resource sharing between two transceiver pairs. One of the pairs, referred to as the primary pair, owns the spectral resources while ...
Mechanics of machining metal matrix composites: analytical modeling and finite element simulation
(2015-01-01)
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are commonly utilized materials in various industries, including applications in aerospace and automotive industries, due to their outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and wear resistance. ...
Robotic radiation mapping using modelling and probabilistic analysis of sparse data
(2015-07-01)
An approach for generating radiation intensity maps, comprised of a mobile robotic platform and an integrated radiation model, is presented, and its ability to generate accurate radiation maps in simulation studies as well ...
