3D printed superhydrophobic structures for sustainable manufacturing benefits: An overview
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2022-06)Superhydrophobic properties have been present in nature for many millennia before human beings discovered their true capabilities and utilized them to revolutionize modern societies. The most familiar form of hydrophobicity ... -
3D printing of Portland cement using a binder jetting system
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2021-06)This paper presents proof of the concept that Portland cement can be used as a material on a commercial binder jetting system. Sixteen cylindrical specimens were printed using different layer thicknesses and cured under ... -
A benchmark study - How industrial engineering undergraduate programs are addressing healthcare needs
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)While healthcare in the U.S. has made great strides at improvement, the delivery system still needs major changes, as evidenced by increasing costs (4-10% per year) and ongoing problems with patient safety. Healthcare ... -
A critical analysis of the AIAG-VDA FMEA; does the newly released AIAG-VDA method offer improvements over the former AIAG method?
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2020-06)After several years of collaboration, The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) and The German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) completed a harmonized version of their respective FMEA methods. Previous to the ... -
A design of experiment study to investigate the effects of hardener concentration, stirring time, and air bubbles on the tensile strength of epoxy resin
(SAGE Publications Ltd STM, 2022-10-01)Epoxy is one of the widely used polymeric resin systems in composite industries, which is a two-part resin system that requires the mixing of a hardening agent to trigger the polymerization process. The mixing ratio and ... -
A flexible near-field biosensor for multisite arterial blood flow detection
(NLM (Medline), 2022-11-01)Modern wearable devices show promising results in terms of detecting vital bodily signs from the wrist. However, there remains a considerable need for a device that can conform to the human body’s variable geometry ... -
A fuzzy multicriteria generation expansion planning model
(Inderscience Publishers, 2011)In this paper, we present a fuzzy multi-objective model for power generation expansion planning problem with uncertainty in objective functions and demand balance constraints. The purpose of the fuzzy generation expansion ... -
A genetic algorithm for battery-based energy storage transportation using railway
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)The use of renewable energy sources has increased significantly in the past few years. Due to the intermittent nature of the renewable energy sources, planning and distribution of this energy is considered a challenging ... -
A knowledge-based advisory system for statistical quality control
(Taylor & Francis, 1993)Implementation of an effective quality management system requires the ready availability of expert statistical quality control (SQC) practitioners. However, this expertise may be unavailable to many small- and medium-size ... -
A knowledge-based model management system for aircraft survivability analysis
