InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Parameters Influencing the Behavior of Knee Braced Steel StructuresEdris Farokhi, Mehrdad GordiniIn Knee-Braced Frames (KBF), the brace is connected to the knee element rather than the beam-column joint. For reasons such as having sufficient lateral stiffness despite its adequate ductile behavior, the concentration of damage in the Double Knee-Braced structural elements and also ease of repair and replacement of these elements after an earthquake, this bracing system is preferred over conventional … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 21 Sep 2015 · 7,808 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractON THE RELIABILITY OF REYNOLDS-AVERAGED NAVIER STOKES PREDICTION OF MEAN FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF A RECTANGULAR TURBULENT JET IN CROSSFLOWE. Khali, Y. F. YaoA jet of fluid discharging into a cross stream, also known as Jet In Crossflow (JICF), has received many experimental and numerical investigations. In addition to the fundamental understanding of three-dimensional mixing and shear flow characteristics, the fluid dynamics research community often regarded it as a benchmark test case for validating turbulence models. Although many authors considered the canonical case … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2014 · 6,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE WIND SPEED EXTRAPOLATION LAWS FOR TWO DIFFERENT ROUGHNESS METEOROLOGICAL SITESDalila Khalfa, Abdelouaheb Benretem, Lazher Herous, Issam MeghlaouiIncreasing knowledge on wind shear models to strengthen their reliability appears as a crucial issue, markedly for energy investors to accurately predict the average wind speed at different turbine hub heights and thus the expected wind energy output. This is particularly helpful during the feasibility study to abate the costs of a wind power project. The extrapolation laws were found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 7,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Selected Properties of Starchy Vegetables on Grating and Slicing Production RateLok Chung Yee, M.K. Siti Mazlina, B.T. Hang TuahPrediction on the output of grating and slicing of starchy vegetables are important prior to design or develop the particular food plant. The production rate of grating and slicing products could be affected by the properties of starchy vegetables. In this study, two selected properties which hardness and moisture content are studied. Hardness of selected starchy vegetables was measured using … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2012 · 7,666 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbrasive Jet Polishing and its Applications in Surface FinishingZhaoze Li, Jianmin Wang, Xiaoqiang Peng et al.Problem statement: Single Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) is highly deterministic and versatile in producing various forms of precise optics. A typical example is the production of large off-axis aspheric mirrors and various infrared mirrors and mandrels. However, the fine periodical turning marks left in the surface critically limit its performance and they are difficult to be avoided for traditional polishing … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 26 Jul 2011 · 13,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSensorization of Robotic Hand Using Optical Three-Axis Tactile Sensor: Evaluation with Grasping and Twisting MotionsHanafiah Yussof, Jiro Wada, Masahiro OhkaProblem statement: Sensitization of robot hand is still remaining as crucial issue since most of robot hand systems nowadays are only capable to grasp a predefined specific object. It is still difficult for robot hand system to realize human-like tactile sensation. Some common problems in robot hand system are low accuracy sensing device, sensors are not robust enough for long … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Connection Simulation Using Dynamic Nodal Numbering AlgorithmAlongkorn Lamom, Thaksin Thepchatri, Wanchai RivepiboonProblem statement: The traditional dynamic nodal numbering algorithm was proposed for generating code number to support truss and frame simulation using only one element type, frame element; it facilitates the software development process. The traditional algorithm, however, supports simulation of only two types of connection: Hinged connection and rigid connection. In many cases, the problems consist of mix-connection and hybrid … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,199 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRetrieval of Similar Shapes Under Affine Transform Using Affine Length ParameterizationA. Lakehal, O. El Beqqali, O. Ait ZemzamiProblem statement: In this study, a new descriptor for shape retrieval under affine transformations had been proposed; the affine length parameterization was used in this approach. Approach: The zero crossing of affine curvature was used to extract a descriptor of shapes in database. For each two successive zero crossing points we extract two parameters: the first parameter was a maximal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 30 Aug 2010 · 7,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Oil Contamination on Geotechnical Properties of Basaltic Residual SoilZulfahmi Ali Rahman, Umar Hamzah, Mohd. Raihan Taha et al.Problem statement: Oil contamination due to accidental spillage or leakage brings hefty damage to the environments. It percolates steadily into subsurface environments and contaminates the soil and water system. Hydrocarbon contamination has not just affected the quality of the soil but will also alter the physical properties of oil-contaminated soil. Approach: This study presented the geotechnical properties of oil-contaminated soils … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 10,265 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Different Underfill Material on Flip Chip Ceramic Ball Grid Array Based on Accelerated Thermal CyclingZ. Kornain, A. Jalar, N. Amin et al.Problem statement: This study mainly to study the effect of several commercial underfill materials to the reliability of HiCTE Flip Chip Ceramic Ball Grid Array (FC-CBGA) package due to Accelerated Thermal Cycling (ATC) effect. Approach: The warpage condition of package, die back stress, interfacial die shear stress, and solder bump fatigue for different commercial underfills were assessed and compared via … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,195 accessesView PDFCite
