Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Analysis of Composite Hardened Walls Subjected to Blast LoadsGirum S. UrgessaProblem statement: There is currently no standard design guideline to determine the number of composites needed to retrofit masonry walls in order to withstand a given explosion. Past design approaches were mainly based on simplified single-degree-of-freedom analysis. A finite element analysis was conducted for concrete masonry walls hardened with composites and subjected to short duration blast loads. Approach: The analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,266 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Motion of Partial System on Phase Plane and Determination of Stable Cutting RegionsFiras Al Qura'nTurning is one of the most efficient preferred and cutting processes currently known. It was a challenging task for researchers to study the different dynamic properties explores its special dynamical properties, including conditions that insure the stability of the cutting process and the associated nonlinear vibrations. The main goal of this study was to develop and study a simple model, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 6,822 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphing Mechanisms Part 2: Using Repetitive Control to Morph Cam Follower MotionNonglak Phetkong, Meng-Sang Chew, Richard W. LongmanThis research utilizes the repetitive control approach in morphing a high-speed cam mechanism so that its output displacement tracks the desired output trajectory. The main objective is to reduce the output tracking error, which is the difference between the actual and desired output displacements of the output mass. A 3-degree of freedom mathematical model is used to analyze and represent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,369 accessesView PDF Cite
