Vibration Characteristics of Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) Reinforced 3D-Fiber Metal Laminates (3D-FML)
(11th Canadian-International Conference on Composites (CANCOM2019), 2019-07-24)
Uncontrolled vibration in mechanical systems results in undesirable noise and may cause the eventual mechanical failure of the system. This paper explores the parameters that govern and affect the frequency response of a ...
Enhancing the Interface Friction between Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sheets and Sandy Soils through Sand Coating
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-06-28)
Soil-pile interface friction is an important geotechnical engineering factor to be considered in achieving a safe, cost-effective design. Conventional construction materials such as concrete, steel, and wood exhibit serious ...
VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF THERMALLY CYCLED GRAPHENE NANOPLATELET (GNP) REINFORCED 3D-FIBER METAL LAMINATES (3D-FML)
(Canadian Machinery Vibration Association (CMVA), 2019-10-30)
Harsh environmental conditions may cause materials to degrade and eventually fail, or even worse, it can be coupled with undesirable vibrations in mechanical systems, resulting in premature failure of the system. Such ...
Solving the Dirichlet Problem for Vibration of Parallelogram-Shaped Membrane using Method of Partial Domains
(Canadian Machinery Vibration Association (CMVA), 2019-10-30)
In this study, the Dirichlet boundary problem for vibration of a parallelogram-shaped membrane is solved. The simplicity and transparency of the proposed procedures allow one to clarify the specific features of some ...
FRP Materials for Rehabilitation of Buried Pipes
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE), 2019-06-12)
Over time, pipes tend to deteriorate due to various physical and chemical parameters. Therefore, they necessitate rehabilitation to improve the service life of structure. Bonding a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) liner ...
Experimental study of hollow FRP sections under bending
(APFIS 2019, 2019-12-10)
This paper presents an experimental study on hollow, fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) sections subjected to bending. This study is part of an ongoing project, with the eventual goal being to use the sections as a bridge ...
Theory, tools, and multidisciplinary applications for tracing groundwater fluxes from temperature profiles
(Wiley, 2019-01)
Quantifying groundwater fluxes to and from deep aquifers or shallow sediment is a critical task faced by researchers and practitioners from many environmental science disciplines including hydrology, hydrogeology, ecology, ...
Characterization of Combined Longitudinal and Transverse FRPs for Strengthening Concrete Columns
(NRC Research Press, 2019-09-04)
This paper presents the results of a study on the characterization of combined longitudinal near-surface-mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and transverse FRP wraps for strengthening concrete columns. A total ...
Investigation of the Stress-Strain Constitutive Behavior of ±55° Filament Wound GFRP Pipes in Compression and Tension
(Elsevier, 2019-05-09)
The behavior of hollow ±55o filament wound glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) pipes under longitudinal compressive and tensile loading is studied experimentally using 31 pipe specimens. The main parameters were the ...
Lateral sand filters are effective for removal of antibiotic resistance genes from domestic wastewater
(Elsevier, 2019)
The ability of lateral flow sand filters, used as on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS), to remove
antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), and other relevant genetic markers
(HF183, ...
