Towards Sustainable Manufacturing: A Framework For Resource Conservation And Waste Mitigation, Mahmood Talal Sultan

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

The manufacturing industry drives economic expansion, but it also contributes significantly to environmental change and shortages of resources. Therefore, the transformation to sustainable manufacturing has become an urgent need, driven by worldwide efforts to address climate change, minimize waste, and protect valuable assets. This thesis develops a robust framework tailored to the manufacturing sector, focusing on resource conservation and waste reduction. The framework is built on the identification and categorization of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and assessment tools, which address five major implementation challenges: complex supply chains, regulatory barriers, economic challenges, technological limitations, and social and cultural challenges.

Data-Driven Machine Learning Applications For Predictive Modeling Of Petrochemical And Ecofrendly Systems, Noora Al Mansoori

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

Traditional experimental approaches in industrial processes, such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and well-drilling operations, are often constrained by time, cost, and operational limitations. This research explores the application of data-driven Machine Learning (ML)-based predictive modeling to improve efficiency and reduce dependency on resource-intensive experimentation. The study develops ML models for three distinct processes: FTIR intensity prediction of bitumen thermal cracking products, thermal degradation of Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF) using TGA data, and Rate of Penetration (ROP) prediction in petrochemical industry. Six algorithms: Linear Regression (LinReg), Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Gradient …

Engineering Bio-Based Poly (Ethylene Furanoate) Blends And Nanocomposites, Safa Fadl Eldin Mohamed

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

The growing demand for sustainable materials has directed attention toward bio-based polymers such as poly(ethylene furanoate) (PEF), a 100% bio-derived alternative to PET. While PEF offers excellent gas barrier and thermal properties, its limited mechanical strength restricts its use. This study explores polymer blending and nanocomposite strategies to enhance PEF’s mechanical and electrical performance.
Blending PEF with linear low-density polyethylene (PE) using reactive compatibilizers (SEBS-g-MA, PE-g-MA) significantly improved ductility and tensile toughness. Interfacial reactions between PEF and compatibilizers transformed the blend morphology, resulting in improved flexibility suitable for packaging applications.
Electrically conductive composites were developed by localizing graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) …

Knee-Thigh-Hip Impact In Children: Effects Of Age And Impact Velocity, Mohammad Ziad Turki

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

Brief introduction: This thesis examined the crash impact injury outcomes of the knee-thigh-hip complex (KTH) in children based on age and impact velocity using computational modelling. Child occupant (3YO, 6YO, 10YO) Total Human Body Model for Safety (THUMS) models developed by Toyota were used to evaluate the effects of age and impact velocity on pediatric KTH crash impact response. Aims: The main objectives of this thesis are to analyze the effect of child age and impact velocity on KTH crash impact response. Methods: The knee impact simulations were performed based on different impact velocities (1.2, 3.5, 7.2, …
