Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Analysis of a Two Dissimilar-Unit Cold Standby Redundant System Subject to Inspection and Random Change in UnitsG. S. Mokaddis, C. H. MattaProblem statement: This study deled with the cost analysis of a two dissimilar unit cold standby redundant system subject to inspection and random change in units. In this system each unit works in two different modes normal and total failure. Assuming that the failure, repair, post repair, interchange of units and inspection times are stochastically independent random variables each having … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,298 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Abnormal Modes of Hoisting DC Electric Drive SystemKosmas ZdrozisProblem statement: Host number of publications in which special attention was given to the behavior of the hoisting drives in abnormal modes was found. The effect of the failure of the main power supply on the electrical and mechanical parts of the hoisting drive when the motor is operating in the regenerative braking mode was not enough studied. Approach: In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,241 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCompare Between Two-Unit Cold Standby and Warm Standby Outdoor Electric Power Systems in Changing WeatherG. S. Mokaddis, M. Salah EL-Sherbeny, Entesar Al-EsayehProblem statement: This study presents the reliability analysis of two mathematical models representing electric power systems operating in fluctuating outdoor weather (i.e., normal and stormy weather) and compared between two models. Approach: Model I deals the reliability analysis of a single-server two-unit cold standby, Model II deals the reliability analysis of a single-server two-unit warm standby, for two systems with … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,439 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarthquake Resistant Design of Reinforced Soil Structures Using Pseudo Static MethodB. Munwar Basha, G.L. Sivakumar BabuProblem statement: This study presented a method to evaluate the internal stability of reinforced soil structures against tension and pullout modes of failure using pseudo-static method for earthquake conditions. Approach: Using limit equilibrium method and assuming the failure surface to be logarithmic spiral, analysis was conducted to maintain internal stability against both tensile and pullout failure of the reinforcements. For … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,572 accessesView PDF Cite
