Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Simulation of Flexural-tensile Properties of Reinforced Concrete BeamShi Di, Wang Juan, Liu JianjunReinforced concrete is a kind of typical composite and reinforced concrete structure is widely used in the construction of a kind of structure, the flexural-tensile properties is very important for structure design optimization. In this study, the 2 dimensional numerical model of reinforced concrete beam is established by using ANSYS software and the effects of the thickness of the protective … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2017 · 7,249 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMATERIAL PARAMETER OF RUBBER GLOVE VULCANIZED USING COMBINED INFRARED AND HOT-AIR HEATINGTipapon Khamdaeng, Numpon Panyoyai, Thanasit WongsiriamnuayVulcanization is an important chemical-thermal process in production of rubber products resulting in change of material properties, increased elasticity and strength. In general, Young’s modulus is used as an indicator of elastic deformation at loading configuration. However, rubber is not truly elastic and a single parameter is insufficient to describe the whole deformation contributed by microstructure of rubber network. Therefore, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2014 · 7,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlexural Behaviors of Damaged Full-Scale Highway Bridge Girder Strengthened by External Post TensionSayan Sirimontree, Jaruek TeerawongProblem statement: Prestressed Concrete (PC) I section girder with Reinforced Concrete (RC) topping slab has been widely applied to long span bridge girders for several years. A bridge girder is subjected to severe conditions caused by an aggressive environment and overloading. A crack can be initiated and propagate when the tensile stress exceeds the tensile strength of concrete due to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 8,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioengineering Assessment on Sloppy GroundMu'azu Mohammed Abdullahi, Nazri Bn Ali, Kamarudin Bn Haj AhmedProblem statement: Soft engineering solution of sloppy surface utilizes mechanical and hydrological effects of vegetation. The hydrological effects driven by transpiration, induces an increase in matric suction and consequently tension also increase along with the decrease of moisture. Therefore once the horizontal stress of the soil exceeds the limit of tensile strain of the soil cracks occurs. Approach: The negative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Analysis of the Crack Propagation for Solid MaterialsMiloud Souiyah, A. Muchtar, Abdulnaser Alshoaibi, A. K. AriffinProblem statement: The use of fracture mechanics techniques in the assessment of performance and reliability of structure is on increase and the prediction of crack propagation in structure play important part. The finite element method is widely used for the evaluation of SIF for various types of crack configurations. Source code program of two-dimensional finite element model had been developed, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,842 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDurability Assessment of Cylinder Block for Two Stroke Free Piston Linear Engine using Random LoadingM. M. Rahman, A. K. Ariffin, S. Abdullah et al.This research presents the durability assessment of cylinder block for a two-stroke free piston engine using narrow band approach. The life prediction results are worthy for improving the component design at the very early developing stage. This approach is adequate for periodic loading, however, requires very large time records to accurately describe random loading processes. Fatigue damage in conventionally determined … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,454 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow Does The Bone Shaft Geometry Affect its Bending Properties?Kaveh PourAkbar Saffar, Nima JamilPour, Seyed Mohammad RajaaiIn this research, ten fresh specimens of sheep tibiae were provided from slaughtered animals. Whole bone specimens were loaded in three-point bending according to standard wet bone test protocols. Mechanical properties were determined and compared with the results which were obtained from two dry bone tests. The results showed that fracture bending moment and bone extrinsic stiffness had significant relations … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,148 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Boundary Conditions on the Behavior of an Anchored Reinforced Earth WallFaisal Hj Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Chee HaiThe finite element model is used to simulate the behavior of the full scale instrumented anchored reinforced wall. The validated finite element model is then used to carry out parametric studies to ascertain the influence of the boundary conditions on the behavior of the wall. The boundaries at the crest, facing and base of the wall are varied to study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaboratory Diameteral Fatigue Performance of Stone Matrix Asphalt with Cellulose Oil Palm FiberRatnasamy Muniandy, Bujang B.K. HuatStone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) is a gap-graded mix that is gaining popularity worldwide. Generally, gap graded mixes are thought to be weak in fatigue resistance. In this study, cellulose fibers were pre-blended in PG64-22 binder with fiber proportions of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0% by weight of aggregates. The fiber-modified binder showed improved rheological properties and showed that the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Shot Peening and Polishing on the Pitting Corrosion Resistance of Stainless SteelOmar Badran, Naser Kloub, Musa Musa Al-TalAn experimental work was performed to study one of the major problems encountered in industry (i.e., pitting corrosion), which cost the industrial world billions of dollars every year. Stainless Steel 304L sheets were used in the present study, the main reason for using stainless steel is their corrosion resistance and it is the most widely used in process industries, but … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,328 accessesView PDFCite
