Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Application of Finite Element Modelling to Pneumatic Artificial MuscleR. Ramasamy, M. R. Juhari, M. R. Mamat et al.The purpose of this article was to introduce and to give an overview of the Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs) as a whole and to discuss its numerical modelling, using the Finite Element (FE) Method. Thus, more information to understand on its behaviour in generating force for actuation was obtained. The construction of PAMs was mainly consists of flexible, inflatable membranes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Artificial Design Technique to Optimize Signal PeptideGao Cui-Fang, Wang Sen, Tian Feng-Wei et al.To determine optimal artificial signal peptide candidates for the possibility of creating high levels of secretion of heterologous proteins, substitution and redesign of amino acid sequences in the H-domain of the signal peptide was theoretically attempted. The method was based on comprehensive score matrix and Markov transfer matrix, which can make the artificial sequences maintain the structural characteristics and original … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 21 Jul 2017 · 8,063 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDesign Dynamic Coupling Measurement of Distributed Object Oriented Software Using Trace EventsS. Babu, R. M.S. ParvathiProblem statement: A common way to define and measure coupling is through structural properties and static code analysis. However, because of polymorphism, dynamic binding and the common presence of unused code in commercial software, the resulting coupling measures are imprecise as they do not perfectly reflect the actual coupling taking place among classes at run-time. For example, when using static … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 6,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStructural Performance of Double Laminated Glass Panels with EVA and PVB Interlayer in Four-Point Bending TestsTomáš Hána, Martina Eliášová, Zdeněk SokolMany examples of glass loadbearing structures such as handrails, panes, beams and columns can be found in modern architecture. Most of these elements are made of laminated glass panels. There is a general lack of knowledge about the transfer of shear forces between the glass plies in perpendicularly-loaded laminated panels. This transfer depends significantly on the stiffness of the polymeric … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 14 Aug 2018 · 13,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMulti-Objective Optimization of FRP Jackets for Improving the Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete FramesCorrado Chisari, Chiara BedonIn this study, a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization procedure is proposed for the seismic retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete (RC) building frames via Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) jackets. The optimization problem is solved via numerically efficient but accurate Finite-Element (FE) models able to take into account the strengthening and ductility increase contribution for a given FRP jacketing configuration. Based on a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 8,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordVerification of Anchoring in Foundations of Wind Turbine TowersNafsika Stavridou, Evangelos Efthymiou, Charalampos C. BaniotopoulosTubular steel towers are the most common supporting structure of wind converters. The towers’ foundation covers an important part of the initial cost and its configuration depends heavily on the type of subsoil. Onshore structures are founded on spread footing foundations or pile foundations with the first being the commonest. In these spread footing foundations, the tower is either embedded … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2015 · 8,394 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIntrinsically Unstructured Proteins: Potential Targets for Drug DiscoveryPathan Salma, Chintan Chhatbar, Sriram SeshadriProblem statement: The function of a protein is dependent on its three-dimensional structure. However, numerous proteins lacking intrinsic globular 3D structure under physiological conditions had been recognized. These proteins are frequently involved in some of the most critical cellular control mechanisms and it appears that their rapid turnover, aided by their unstructured nature in the unbound state, provides a level … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBending Moments Distribution at the Main Structural Elements of Skew Deck-Slab and Their Implementation on Cost EffectivenessMaher KakishThe distribution of bending moments in T-beam deck slab varies from one T-beam to another. The design of T-beams should be based on the actual bending moments each beam is subjected to for the purpose of achieving economy especially in bridge deck slab, extended over big area. The saving in some cases is substantial due to reducing the quantities of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Comparison Between the New and the Old Versions of Jordan Seismic CodeM.A. MusmarThe study comes as a vital step to shed120 light upon the purport of the recently published version of Jordan Seismic code (JSC), and how the drawbacks of the old version are surpassed. The new JSC code oversteps the old provisions, in that input parameters now have pronounced and significant physical meanings. The study concludes that the conversion from service … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCost Optimization of Composite I Beam Floor SystemUroš Klanšek, Stojan KravanjaThe paper presents the cost optimization of the composite I beam floor system. The composite I beam floor system is designed to be constructed up of a reinforced concrete slab and doubly-symmetrical welded steel I beams. The optimization was performed by the nonlinear programming approach, NLP. An accurate objective function of the manufacturing material, power and labour costs was developed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,435 accessesView PDFCite
