By the nature of reliability, sustainability, abundant resource and minor impact on environment,
geothermal energy is considered as one of the future resources to meet the world's …

The utilization of fibers plays a crucial role in improving the mechanical performance of
cementitious composites. The bridging effect of fiber at the cracked surface provides …

Natural gas hydrate is a promising source of energy and are widely distributed in ocean
continental shelves and permafrost horizons. Reservoir permeability is one of the most important …

The Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) plays a critical role in
various management applications. Despite its importance, research efforts are still ongoing to …

Steel fiber reinforced self compacting concrete has high potential application in structural
elements. The distribution and orientation of fibers in fiber reinforced self compacting concrete …

Despite the outstanding mechanical properties, SFRC is still underutilized in the load-bearing
structures, mainly being restrained to the non-structural applications. This paper primarily …

A series of ferrocenylalkanethiol (HSCnFc) single molecular junctions are modeled and their
rectification ratios (RRs) are up to 100 (for HSC11Fc), which agrees with the experiments of …

The present paper addresses aspects related to transverse tensile armour buckling in flexible
pipes. An analytical model for evaluating the tensile armour buckling capacity is presented …

This thesis deals with prediction of early age cracking caused by restrained thermal dilation
and autogenous deformation. The purpose of the present work is to provide new and extend …

For piggyback pipelaying operations, current-induced force and its effect on the piggyback
pipe have not been thoroughly studied. In the present study, an improved method in …
