Time-dependent thermo-elastic creep analysis of thick-walled spherical pressure vessels made of functionally graded materials (2015)
Journal Article

Assuming that the thermo-elastic creep response of the material is governed by Norton's law and material properties, except Poisson's ratio, are considered as a function of the radius of the spherical vessel, an analytical solution is presented for c...

Response to an Earthquake in Bangladesh: Experiences and lessons learnt (2015)
Journal Article

A powerful earthquake occurred in Nepal on 25th April 2015 where the highest measure of the tremor was 7.9 on the Richter scale with a minimum of 6.6. The death toll was around 3000 and thousands were injured in the devastation of the disaster. The e... Read More about Response to an Earthquake in Bangladesh: Experiences and lessons learnt.

Fuzzy PID control of a stand-alone system based on PEM fuel cell (2015)
Journal Article

Fuel cell (FC) systems are appropriate candidates as alternative energy sources for use in stand-alone applications. However, the FC generates an unregulated voltage, which is not suitable in stand-alone application usage solely. This paper presents...
