Active soft end effectors for efficient grasping and safe handling (2018)
Journal Article
Al-Ibadi, A., Nefti-Meziani, S., & Davis, S. (2018). Active soft end effectors for efficient grasping and safe handling. IEEE Access, 6, 23591-23601. https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2018.2829351

The end effector is a major part of a robot system and it defines the task the robot can perform. However, typically, a gripper is suited to grasping only a single or relatively small number of different objects. Dexterous grippers offer greater gras...

Morphodynamic simulation of sediment deposition patterns on a recently stripped bedrock anastomosed channel (2018)
Journal Article
channel. Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 377, 51-56. https://doi.org/10.5194/piahs-377-51-2018

Some mixed bedrock-alluvial dryland rivers are known to undergo cycles of alluvial building during low flow periods, punctuated by stripping events during rare high magnitude flows. We focus on the Olifants River, Kruger National Park, South Africa,... Read More about Morphodynamic simulation of sediment deposition patterns on a recently stripped bedrock anastomosed channel.

Free convection heat and mass transfer of a nanofluid past a horizontal cylinder embedded in a non-Darcy porous medium (2018)
Journal Article
Rao, A., Prasad, V., Beg, O., & Rashidi, M. (2018). Free convection heat and mass transfer of a nanofluid past a horizontal cylinder embedded in a non-Darcy porous medium. Journal of Porous Media, 21(3), 1-16. https://doi.org/10.1615/JPorMedia.v21.i3.60

In the present paper, we analyzed the laminar boundary layer flow and heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder in a nanofluid-saturated non-Darcy porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation. This is the first paper presenting non-similar solution... Read More about Free convection heat and mass transfer of a nanofluid past a horizontal cylinder embedded in a non-Darcy porous medium.

Building information modeling (BIM) in Malaysian construction industry : benefits and future challenges (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Musa, S., Marshall-Ponting, A., Nifa, F., & Shahron, S. (2018, April). Building information modeling (BIM) in Malaysian construction industry : benefits and future challenges. Presented at 3rd International Conference on Applied Science and Technology, Penang, Malaysia

Building Information Modeling is an innovative technology coupled with process and human interactions. BIM has been used by the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry in developed and developing countries including Malaysia. The r...

Unsteady reactive magnetic radiative micropolar flow, heat and mass transfer from an inclined plate with joule heating: a model for magnetic polymer processing (2018)
Journal Article
Shamshuddin, M., Mishra, S., Beg, O., & Kadir, A. (2018). Unsteady reactive magnetic radiative micropolar flow, heat and mass transfer from an inclined plate with joule heating: a model for magnetic polymer processing. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 233(4), 1246-1261. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954406218768837

Magnetic polymer materials processing involves many multi-physical and chemical effects. Motivated by such applications, in the present work a theoretical analysis is conducted of combined heat and mass transfer in unsteady mixed convection flow of m...
