Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic Prognostic Paradigm for Petrochemical Pipelines Subject to FatigueAbdo Abou Jaoude, Khaled El-TawilThe most important aim for industrialists is the prevention and the evaluation of their products state since non-predicted failure is very expensive in some cases. This can be done mainly by the evaluation of the &#34Remaining Useful Lifetime&#34 (RUL) by the means of prognostic approaches compensating the inconveniences of classical maintenance strategies. A proposed analytic prognostic methodology based on damage … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2013 · 7,557 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytic and Nonlinear Prognostic for Vehicle Suspension SystemsAbdo Abou Jaoude, Khaled El-TawilPredicting Remaining Useful Lifetime (RUL) of industrial systems becomes currently an important aim for industrialists knowing that the expensive failure can occur suddenly. As the classical strategies of maintenance are not efficient and practical because they neglect the evolving product state and environment, the recent prognostic approaches try to fill this gap. This approach shows to be important in ensuring … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2013 · 7,522 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of the Effect of Infilled Brick Walls on Behavior of Eccentrically Braced Frames Using Explicit Finite Elements MethodAmir Saedi Daryan, Masood Ziaei, Ali Golafshar et al.Problem statement: Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) are usually infilled by masonry walls, but in common design, the stiffness and lateral resistance of these walls is ignored. Considering the results of carried out tests and studies, it seems that infilled masonry walls have a significant influence on the stiffness and the strength of EBFs. Since experimental test of total frame with … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,191 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Thermostable α-Amylase Producing Natural Variant of Bacillus spp. Isolated From Soil in IranIraj Rasooli, Shakiba D. A. Astaneh, Hojjat Borna, Kamal A. BarchiniThermophilic processes appear more stable, rapid and less expensive and facilitate reactant activity and product recovery. Amylases have a quarter of the world enzyme market and thermostable a-amylases possess extensive commercial applications. Since little work has been done on strain isolation, growth and enzyme yield optimization, the level of thermophilic enzyme production remains relatively low. Therefore, large scale exploitation of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,902 accessesView PDF Cite
