Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulated Annealing with Deterministic DecisionsTaisir EldosProblem statement: Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithms have been used in solving a wide range of discrete optimization problems for many years, with well know drawbacks like the computational time and difficulties related to the parameters settings. One of the other issues that open the door for research is the acceptance decision that provides for hill climbing; the standard SA algorithms … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Fully Coupled Approach for Evaluation of Wellbore Stability in Hydrocarbon ReservoirsVera RoccaProblem statement: When a well is drilled in a hydrocarbon reservoir, the original thermodynamic conditions are altered, the natural stresses are redistributed and a stress concentration occurs around the hole. The alteration of the original equilibrium can lead to wellbore damage, sometimes to its complete collapse. Loss of time associated with stability problems is estimated to account for 12-15% of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,559 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEngineering of Ground for Liquefaction Mitigation Using Granular Columnar Inclusions: Recent DevelopmentsA. Murali Krishna, M.R. MadhavProblem statement: Liquefaction was the most hazardous damage during an earthquake. Ground improvement techniques were employed to mitigate liquefaction hazards. Most common methods to improve engineering properties of soils are densification, reinforcement, grouting/mixing and drainage. Among various remedial measures available, installation of columnar granular inclusions is the most widely adopted method for liquefaction mitigation. Approach: Columnar granular inclusions function as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,736 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrography and Sulphur Isotope Studies of Pyrites in the Muteh Gold DepositM. J. Abdollahi, M. H. Karimpour, A. KheradmandProblem statement: The Muteh mining district is located in 70 km northeast of Golpaygan city within the Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic belt. There are 2 gold mines, 7 gold occurrences and numerous mineral indices in the Muteh gold district. There are few researches on Muteh gold district, but a detailed model is not clear yet. The aim of this study is to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Data Processing on Data QualityA. R. SamihProblem statement: Great attention had been paid on spatial data quality by the scientific community. This was due to the negative impact that a poor spatial data quality had on the competitiveness of an organization. On other hand, we can never obtain good quality data from a poor quality data. In this study, we demonstrate the effects of the different … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Corner Radii and Part Orientation on Stress Distribution of Cold Forging DieAhmad Baharuddin Abdullah, Kam Shwu Ling, Zahurin SamadOne of the most critical problems in cold forging is the huge stresses generated from the deformation of metal leads to die failure. The distribution of stresses mainly depends on geometry of the die. An approach to optimal design in cold forging die geometry and orientation are presented in this paper. The impression cold forging dies of the Universal joint … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of 2D Multi Electrodes Resistivity Imagining for Sinkholes Hazard Assessment along the Eastern Part of the Dead Sea, JordanAbdallah S. Al-Zoubi, Abd El-Rahman A. Abueladas, Rami I. Al-Rzouq et al.Sinkholes and subsidence are natural phenomena can be occurred in shallow geology sediments at different regions in the world. Sinkholes assessment is one of the most difficult near subsurface investigations. Geophysical prospecting is appropriate method to determine environmental and geotechnical problems. 2D multi electrodes resistivity imagining with Wenner-Schulmberge array was conducted within active sinkholes area. The objective of the survey … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Modeling of a New Tactile Sensor Based on Membrane DeflectionAli Tavakoli Golpaygani, Siamak Najarian, Goldis Darb EmamiehThe designed sensor can detect 2D surface texture image, contact-force, and softness of the sensed object. It consists of a chamber for pneumatic actuation and a membrane with a mesa structure. The sensing mechanism is the contact deformation effect of a membrane. Determination of the contact force and softness of sensed object is based on the amount and variations of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,786 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Nonlinearity Under Cyclic Loading In Neutron FlowAtwa D. Zeyad, E.I. StarovoitovThe influence of neutron irradiation on the nonlinear elastoplastic deformation of the constructions components under cyclic force disturbance was investigated. The formula of irradiation reinforcement was suggested depending on the experimental data, and the theorem of variable loading was proved. The problem of metal-polymeric sandwich beam was solved numerically. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,776 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow Characteristics in Elastic Arteries Using a Fluid-Structure Interaction ModelH. Niroomand Oscuii, M. Tafazzoli Shadpour, Farzan GhalichiIn this study the interaction of blood flow with arterial wall has been investigated using FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) modeling. Computer simulation of pulsatile blood flow was carried out on the basis of the time dependent axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible Newtonian fluid flow. An elastic incompressible material with large deformation was considered for the arterial wall and momentum and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,429 accessesView PDFCite
