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 ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPhytochemical Composition, Antibacterial, and Antioxidant Properties of Foeniculum vulgare Essential OilSaif M. Dmour, Saqr Abushattal, Sultan Ayesh Mohammed Saghir et al.This study intended to inspect the phytochemical composition and bioactivity of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) Seed Essential Oil (FSEO) from Jordan. The EO was extracted via hydrodistillation from air-dried samples with 4.42% (v/w) yield. Twenty compounds, constituting around 98.5% of the EO were identified using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Estragole (47.15%) and Anethole (36.2%), appeared as predominant oxygenated monoterpenes compounds in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 1 Aug 2025 · 4,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInvestigating the Effects of Landfill in Azad-Shahr City on the Physicochemical Properties of GroundwaterSara Abdollahi, Safieh Javadinejad, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Vijay P. SinghLocations near landfills have a lot of potential for contamination of groundwater, because there is a high potential for contamination with emulsion in these areas. In this study, the quality of physic chemical and carbon-organic materials (TOC) of water wells around landfill of Azad-Shahr city was investigated. To accomplish this purpose, sampling of water from seven deep wells around the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2019 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUse of the Nere Pod (Parkia Biglobosa) for the Improvement of Mechanical Properties of SoilsSinko Banakinao, Sonnou Tiem, Kodjo Attipou et al.Buildings made of unbaked clay have some advantage in terms of production cost. However, they have some inconveniences concerning their mechanical performance, particularly their resistance to weather. The objective of this study is to minimize these disadvantages and to maximize the benefits of such buildings to make them more viable. For this purpose, a method based on a traditional practice … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 16 Feb 2017 · 7,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Use of Nano Silica for Improving Mechanical Properties of Hardened Cement PasteIntisar Kuli, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Elham H. Fini, Sameer A. HamoushThe influence of adding Nano particles of silicon dioxide (SiO2) on cement pastes was studied for both water and vacuum curing methods. Specimens made up of different percentage of Nano Silica were tested at different ages ranging from 3-56 days. The effect of (5-20 nm) Nano-Silica on the strength development of Nano-cement was determined using Material Tests System (MTS). The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2016 · 9,084 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTHE HIGH VOLUME REUSE OF HYBRID BIOMASS ASH AS A PRIMARY BINDER IN CEMENTLESS MORTAR BLOCKCheah Chee Ban, Noor Shazea Ahmad Nordin, Part Wei Ken et al.High Calcium Wood Ash (HCWA) and Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA) are by-products from the wood biomass and coal energy production which are produced in large quantity with combined annual production of 500 million tonnes. This poses a serious problem for disposal of the waste material especially at places where land is scarce. The prescribed study was aimed to examine the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 29 May 2014 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Biomechanical Composite Model to Determine Effective Elastic Moduli of the CNS Gray MatterMehdi Khoshgoftar, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Farmanzad et al.Brain tissue is a heterogeneous material with complicated microstructural features. Models based on microstructure can lead to more accurate and physically realistic predictions of mechanical characteristics of brain tissue. A two-step Mori-Tanaka/Voigt homogenization procedure is implemented into a 3D microstructurally-based multi-phase composite model, composed of randomly-oriented elastic axons, dendrites and neuronal cell bodies surrounded by an elastic matrix. The effects … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Laser Irradiation on the Structural and Electrical Properties of Co-Zn Ferrite Thin FilmNehad M. TashtoushThin films of irradiated and non-irradiated Co-Zn ferrite was prepared by the thermal evaporation method on a glass substrate. The samples were annealed at 200°C, 400°C and 600°C for 1hr. The XRD analysis of all kinds of films, prepared for this study, shows that the spinel phase is almost completed after annealing.
