Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of IBS Precast Concrete Beam-Column Connections Under Earthquake Effects: A Literature ReviewPatrick Tiong Liq Yee, Azlan Bin Adnan, Abdul Karim Mirasa, Ahmad Baharuddin Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Despite demonstrating rather much benefits comparing to the conventional cast-in-place construction, the acceptance level of precast concrete building is still reportedly low in Malaysia. The implication imposed by stricter seismic design provisions would only worsen the matter. Approach: The main objective of this study was to identify the most appropriate type of beam-column connections to be introduced to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 17,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimating the Parameters of the Negative-Lindley Distribution using Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-ShannoNaushad Mamode KhanProblem statement: The Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) technique is the most efficient statistical approach to estimate parameters in a cross-sectional model. Often, MLE gives rise to a set of non-linear systems of equations that need to be solved iteratively using the Newton-Raphson technique. However, in some situations such as in the Negative-Lindley distribution where it involves more than one unknown … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2011 · 7,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Method of a Low-Pass Filter Based on Microstrip T-Lines with Cut-Off Frequency 10 GHz by the Extraction of its Wave-Scattering Parameters from its Causal Bond Graph ModelHichem Taghouti, Abdelkader MamiProblem statement: This study presented a jointly application of bond graph technique and wave-scattering formalism for a new realization called scattering bond graph model which has the main advantage to show up explicitly the different wave propagation. Approach: For that, we proposed to find the scattering matrix from the causal bond graph model of a low-pass filter based on Microstrip … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2010 · 8,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArm Movement RecorderJakkrapun Chuanasa, Szathys SongschonProblem statement: Human arm movement is widely studied nowadays. Some movements of arm are performed frequently in everyday life. Devices that can record the path of movement are important in studying human arm gesture. Approach: This project was performed the five degree-of-freedom exoskeleton that was designed and constructed to observe position and orientation values of various movement in x-y-z coordinates … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeasibility of Using TIG Welding in Dissimilar Metals between Steel/Aluminum AlloyRattana Borrisutthekul, Pusit Mitsomwang, Sirirat Rattanachan, Yoshiharu MutohProblem statement: Currently, in order to suppress intermetallic reaction layer formation during dissimilar metals welding between steel/aluminum alloy, only laser beam welding as self-brazing technique has been applied. However, TIG welding process might be one of welding process candidate for joining dissimilar metals welding between steel/aluminum alloys due to its capability in joining thin section. In the present study, the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 14,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpline Estimator in Multi-Response Nonparametric Regression Model with Unequal Correlation of ErrorsBudi Lestari, I. Nyoman Budiantara, Sony Sunaryo, Muhammad MashuriProblem statement: In many applications two or more dependent variables are observed at several values of the independent variables, such as at time points. The statistical problems are to estimate functions that model their dependences on the independent variables and to investigate relationships between these functions. Nonparametric regression model, especially smoothing splines provide powerful tools to model the functions which … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,173 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of a Distributed Control System Using a Personal Computer and Micro Control Units for Humanoid RobotsMitsuhiro Yamano, Akihiro Ochiai, Yuichi Suzukawa et al.Problem statement: Humanoid robots have many motors and sensors and many control methods are used to carry out complicated tasks of the robots. Therefore, efficient control systems are required for the robots. Approach: This study presented a distributed control system using a Personal Computer (PC) and Micro Control Units (MCUs) for humanoid robots. Distributed control systems have the advantages that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,531 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow to Find Wave-Scattering Parameters from the Causal Bond Graph Model of a High Frequency FilterHichem Taghouti, Abdelkader MamiProblem statement: The aim of this study is to use the bond graph technique and the wave-scattering formalism, jointly, to determine the scattering matrix of a high frequency filter with cut-off frequency 10 GHz. Approach: The first step consist to model the high frequency filter by bond graph approach, afterward, we decomposed the obtained causal bond graph model under an … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,658 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRepairing and Strengthening of an Existing Reinforced Concrete Building: A North Cyprus PerspectiveHakan Yalciner, Amir A. HedayatProblem statement: Inadequate attention during design and construction of some of Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings in North Cyprus has raised questions about the performance level of these existing buildings under future earthquakes. Approach: Column jacketing, adding steel braces and new shear walls to an existing building are common strengthening methods used by practical engineers in North Cyprus to increase the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeismic Response Evaluation of Moment Resistant Frame with Built-Up Column SectionMohammad Ebrahimi, Hesam Sharifian, Mohammad AhangarProblem statement: Moment Resisting Frame (MRF) is widely used as lateral resisting systems when sufficient ductility and deformability are to be met. Response of these structures is strictly dependent upon behavior of their joints, whereas the analysis of steel moment resisting frames generally has been performed without considering the accurate connection behavior. Approach: In this study Finite Element (FE) models … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,289 accessesView PDFCite
