Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCondition Monitoring and Diagnosis of Faults in the Electric Induction MotorA. Medoued, A. Metatla, A. Boukadoum et al.Problem statement: The diagnosis of failures in the induction machine, when it is implemented effectively and whether it allows detecting early deterioration of the system, represents a means to help achieve better productivity. Approach: Primary purpose was to detect and locate a possible malfunction of equipments. In this study we developed a method using the three phase-biphase transformation (shape recognition), … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDurability Assessment of Cylinder Block for Two Stroke Free Piston Linear Engine using Random LoadingM. M. Rahman, A. K. Ariffin, S. Abdullah et al.This research presents the durability assessment of cylinder block for a two-stroke free piston engine using narrow band approach. The life prediction results are worthy for improving the component design at the very early developing stage. This approach is adequate for periodic loading, however, requires very large time records to accurately describe random loading processes. Fatigue damage in conventionally determined … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAir-Cooling Used For Metal CuttingBrian Boswell, Behrad Katirachi, Tilak T ChandratillekeAir-cooling and dry machining are both being trialled as possible solutions to the metal cutting industry’s long running problems of extending tool life, reducing tool failure and minimising the heat generation at the tool tip. To date, large amounts of expensive coolant which cause both environmental damage and health hazards have had to be used. The introduction of dry machining … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,215 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Effect of Pile Skin Resistance Verses Pile Diameter Based on Experimental ResearchS. M. Marandi, M.A. KarimzadehIn spite of the many recent advances in pile design and execution methods, the quantitative effects of grouted pile skin resistance and form on subsequent pile behavior remains an area for research. There are many parameters involved in the analysis of the bearing capacity of piles and descriptive method theory of the loading effect for each parameter is very complex. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,278 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCrack Growth in Concrete Gravity Dams Based on Discrete Crack MethodA.R. Lohrasbi, R. AttarnejadSeepage is the most parameter in water management safety and in stable agricultural. This seepage is passed through the cracks that are present to some degree in hydraulic structures. They may exist as basic defects in the constituent materials or may be induced in construction or during service life. To avoid such failure in concrete dams, safety would be an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,082 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Hammer Analysis by Characteristic MethodA.R. Lohrasbi, R. AttarnejadRapid changes in the velocity of fluid in closed conduits generate large pressure, which are transmitted through the system with the speed of sound. When the fluid medium is a liquid the pressure surges and related phenomena are described as water hammer. Water hammer is caused by normal operation of the system, such as valve opening or closure, pump starts … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,705 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Modeling of Pile-Leg Interaction in Jacket Type Offshore Platforms Cyclic Inelastic BehaviorM.R. Honarvar, M.R. Bahaari, B. AsgarianOffshore platforms in seismically active areas should be designed to survive in the event of severe ground excitations with no global structural failure. The annulus between the pile and leg in jacket-type offshore platforms can be filled with cement grout as a means of reducing horizontal deflections, inhibiting corrosion and preventing local damages. This paper discusses an experimental approach which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,009 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 · 7,340 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNonlinear Models and Experimental Investigation of Lifetime History of HSC Flexural BeamsK. Masti, A.A. Maghsoudi, R. RahgozarThe nature of fracture in high strength concrete is brittle and therefore, the investigation behavior of flexural high strength concrete (HSC) members is important. This paper describes the deflection, strain and energy ductility and the lifetime history of experimental and theoretical analysis of six caste reinforced HSC beams with different percentage of ρ and ρρ'. The beams were loaded incrementally … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability Parameters of a Power Generating System with Shared LoadRitu Gupta, S.K. Mittal, C.M. BatraThis study presents a model, based on power generating system with shared load. The whole generating system consists of three subsystems viz: subsystem A , subsystem B and subsystem C. The subsystem A consists of one generating unit and one inbuilt transformer. The subsystem B also contains the same units and is connected in parallel to subsystem A. The output … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,701 accessesView PDFCite
