Durability and microstructural evolution of metakaolin-based geopolymers under various coupled temperature and relative humidity conditions
This study investigates the long-term durability of a metakaolin-based geopolymer composite formulated with potassium silicate, fine sand, limestone filler, and short carbon fibers, after 9 months of exposure to three hygrothermal conditions: 20 ◦C – 100 % RH, 90 ◦C – 100 % RH, and 90 ◦C – 0 % RH. A comprehensive evaluation was […]

A Literature Review of Public Transport OD Matrix Estimation
Origin–Destination matrices (ODms) are a fundamental input for public transport planning and optimization, as they characterize travel demand across a network. Traditionally estimated from user surveys, ODms are now increasingly inferred from large-scale automatically collected data, such as Automated Fare Collection (AFC), Automated Passenger Counting (APC), and Automated Vehicle Location data (AVL). This review focuses […]

An innovative power converter based technique for on-site photovoltaic I-V characterization under natural irradiance
This paper presents a standalone PV curve tracer designed to extract current-voltage (I-V) and power-voltage (P-V) characteristics, as well as the five parameters of a Multiple-Diode Model (MDM) with identical diodes, effectively reducing it to a single-diode model for parameter extraction, under real sunlight conditions. The system consists of a custom-built synchronous boost converter operating […]

Machine learning-driven solutions for sustainable and dynamic flexible job shop scheduling under worker absences and renewable energy variability
This paper addresses the Dynamic Sustainable Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (DSFJSSP) by going beyond the traditionally emphasized economic dimension — such as makespan, flow time, or resource utilization — to include human and environmental factors, along with their related disruptions. Specifically, it considers human-related constraints such as workers’ skills and ergonomic risks, as well […]

Robust Pitch-Angle Control of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines Using Optimized Active Disturbance Rejection Control
This paper presents a robust pitch-angle control strategy for a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) based on an optimized active disturbance rejection controller (OADRC). The suggested controller uses the Red-Tailed Hawk (RTH) optimization algorithm to automatically adjust the ADRC parameters. This makes the system better at rejecting disturbances and more robust overall. The optimization process […]

How interlayer interfaces affect hygro-mechanical ageing in 3D-printed PLA
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, has emerged as a versatile technology enabling the efficient fabrication of complex, customized components. However, despite its numerous advantages, the long-term durability of printed parts, particularly under humid conditions, remains a key concern, especially for polymer-based materials like polylactic acid (PLA). Previous studies have demonstrated that water diffusion into PLA […]

Optimization of adhesion properties of PLA on cork substrate via FDM: A Taguchi experiment design
This study investigates the optimization of interfacial adhesion between polylactic acid (PLA) and cork substrates using fused deposition modeling (FDM), a topic scarcely explored in the literature. The research question seeks to identify FDM parameters that most strongly influence adhesion strength and microstructural porosity in PLA–cork laminated structures. Cork, a lightweight, elastic, and sustainable material, […]
