Radiation-shielding concrete: A review of materials, performance, and the impact of radiation on concrete properties
Published in: Journal of Building Engineering
Nov 15, 2024
The efficiency of radiation shielding is crucial across industries having radioactive activities, from medical facilities to nuclear power stations. Radiation-Shielding Concrete (RSC) emerges as the preferred material for its cost-effectiveness, robust mechanical performance, ease of production, and excellent radiation attenuation properties against ionizing radiations such as gamma rays, X-rays, and neutrons. This comprehensive review delves into the evolution of SCI indexed research on concre...
Response of Overhanging RC Beams Strengthened with Various Schemes of Externally Bonded CFRP Strips
Published in: Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction
Nov 01, 2024
This study evaluated the effectiveness of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites in strengthening RC beams for a simple span overhanging from both ends and subjected to equal concentrated forces at each end. This innovative loading configuration allows for investigating the performance of CFRP composites under pure moment within the middle span and ensuring continuity of the moment over the supports, which cannot be captured using the classical simple span with four-point loading con...
On computation of solution for (2+1) dimensional fractional order general wave equation
Published in: Partial Differential Equations in Applied Mathematics
Oct 03, 2024
In this research article, we handle a class of (2+1) dimensional wave equations under fractional-order derivatives using an iterative integral transform due to Laplace. The concerned derivative is taken in the Caputo's sense. The proposed method is a purely algebraic manipulation approach to compute solutions without a priori knowledge of geometry and physical meaning related to the proposed problem. In fact, in this procedure, we combine two novel techniques, Laplace transforms (LT) and iterat...

Published in: Partial Differential Equations in Applied Mathematics
Sep 18, 2024
The area related to fractional order partial differential equations (FOPDEs) has also attracted attention. Therefore, we focuss our attention to study nonlinear Benney equations of using power law type Caputo derivative of fractional order. To compute a series-type solution for the problem under consideration, we combine the Adomian approach with the Laplace transform. Our findings are supported by graphical representations and numerical interpretations, illustrating the applicability and insig...
A numerical investigation of the chemically reactive maxwell nanofluid flow over a convectively heated rotating disk using Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium
Published in: Modern Physics Letters B
Aug 14, 2024
This study investigates the convective heat transfer characteristics in the vicinity of a stagnation point for the flow of Maxwell nanofluid over a porous rotating disk. The analysis takes into account the complex inert-active effects arising from nonlinear thermal radiation, activation energy, and the presence of a Darcy-Forchheimer medium. Through numerical simulations, the enhancement of heat transfer due to the addition of nanoparticles is explored, considering their impact on heat transpor...
