A viscoelastic nonlinear energy sink with an electromagnetic energy harvester: Narrow-band random response
(IOP Publishing / Chinese Physical Society, 2 May 2024)Nonlinear energy sink is a passive energy absorption device that surpasses linear dampers, and has gained significant attention in various fields of vibration suppression. This is owing to its capacity to offer high vibration ... -
Effect of CO2 exposure on the mechanical strength of geopolymer-stabilized sandy soils
(Elsevier / Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 8 July 2023)In recent years, there has been growing interest in developing methods for mitigating greenhouse effect, as greenhouse gas emissions continue to contribute to global temperature rise. On the other hand, investigating ... -
Experimental Investigation of Leakage Flow Rate and Fluidisation beneath Polyethylene Pipes in Non-Uniform Soils
(MDPI, 19 April 2024)Soil fluidisation around buried pipes is one of the water leakage effects that has a direct influence on the ultimate failure of pipelines. In this research, using a laboratory model, the fluidisation caused by water leakage ... -
Efficacy of Tree-Based Models for Pipe Failure Prediction and Condition Assessment: A Comprehensive Review
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 22 April 2024)This paper provides a comprehensive review of tree-based models and their application in condition assessment and prediction of water, wastewater, and sewer pipe failures. Tree-based models have gained significant attention ... -
Transforming Auxetic Metamaterials into Superhydrophobic Surfaces
(Wiley, 17 January 2024)Superhydrophobic materials are often inspired by nature, whereas metamaterials are engineered to have properties not usually occurring naturally. In both, the key to their unique properties is structure. Here, it is shown ...
