Supply chain management plays an important role in ensuring an efficient merchandise trade. Freight transportation is an integral part of supply chain management. A significant part of freight transportation is covered by maritime...
Testing Protocol, Material Specifications, Long-Term Durability Analysis in Accelerated Environments, and Prediction Modeling of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) Bars
Bridge infrastructure in coastal areas is deteriorating at an accelerated pace due to increased traffic and aggressive environments. Traditional black steel reinforcement in bridges is corroding due to exposure to saline environments....
Different building materials have been used in construction for centuries to meet the accommodation needs. Building materials were primarily designed to tolerate the environmental impacts and to meet the demand. However, some of these...
Current U.S. energy policy, which includes wind and solar incentives, favors the increased use of renewables for power generation. Renewable energy incentives and falling technology costs support robust growth in renewable energy...
Infrastructure systems are the backbone of modern civilization, supporting our cities, economies, and way of life. Yet, they do not exist in isolation. They are continually influenced by a multitude of external social, economic, and...
A central problem in the power semiconductor industry is to design semiconductor devices with high breakdown voltage and low on-state resistance. This problem is usually addressed computationally by developing a physics-based model for...
Applying 21st century machine intelligence to the evolving transportation management systems is under detailed investigation all around the world. The major goals of this investigation are quite noble and multifaceted including safety, ...
Urban traffic congestion has become an increasingly critical issue as the number of vehicle owners continues to rise each year, resulting in increased travel times, fuel consumption, and environmental pollution. Traditional adaptive...
Traffic crashes are one of the leading causes of death, substantial economic loss, and severe injuries for drivers. They also put lives of people at risk, cause severe traumas and incapacitating injuries, which usually require a painful...
Power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) simulation is a technique whereby actual power hardware is interfaced to a virtual surrounding system through PHIL interfaces making use of power amplifiers and/or actuators. PHIL simulation is often an...
A numerical technique is developed for the design and optimization of the microstructure of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. The technique is based on evaluating the sensitivity functions of the different variables that need to by...
Maritime transportation has been continuously playing an undeniable role for the global trade and economy of many countries. Based on the fast growth of the maritime trade, the marine container terminal (MCT) operators should focus on...
Global supply chains depend heavily on liner shipping networks, which connect countries and continents over a great distance at low transit costs. More than 80% of the world's trade in goods is carried out by international shipping...
In the past century, the concept of resilience has emerged as a critical element in sustaining the performance of critical infrastructure systems amidst various challenges. Traditionally, resilience has been practiced through a risk...
The built environment consists of various, diverse, and independent systems distributed across different organizational levels, such as team, project, regional, state, and national, creating a structured hierarchy. Interactions within...
In the polymer industry, physics-based computational molecular models serve as a tool for optimizing product quality and improving manufacturing processes. Molecular models of polymer dynamics take the molecular composition of a polymer...
