Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFinite 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Analysis of a prismatic Beam Made of Physical Nonlinear Material under Concentrated and Distributed Continuous Moving LoadsEsfandiar MardaniIt is assumed that a beam made of material has a physical nonlinear behavior. This beam is analyzed under the moving concentrated and distributed continuous loads. The vibration equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton’s Principle and Euler-Lagrange Equation. In this study, the amplitude of vibration, circular frequency, bending moment, stress and deflection of the beam has been calculated. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,370 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFuzzy Based Digital Automatic Voltage Regulator of a Synchronous Generator with Unbalanced LoadsA. Darabi, S.A. Soleamani, A. HassanniaVoltage stability and power quality of the electrical systems depend on proper operation of the Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) of generators. Nowadays, design technology of the AVRs is being broadly improved. According to wide range operating conditions of the generators and loads, the fuzzy AVRs are going to be the modern type of regulators, particularly, for the genset alternators operating … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,602 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effects of Harmonic Components on Transformer Losses of Sinusoidal Source Supplying Non-Linear LoadsI. Daut, H. S. Syafruddin, Rosnazri Ali et al.An important consideration when evaluating the impact of harmonics is their effect on power system component and loads. Transformers are major components in power systems. The increased losses due to harmonic distortion can cause excessive losses and hence abnormal temperature rise. The measurement of iron losses and copper losses of single-phase transformers is important in particular for transformers feeding nonlinear … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 8,398 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigation on the Behavior of Rigid Polyvinylchloride Pipes Subjected to Uniaxial Compression LoadsAbdullah Ali Nasser Alhamati, Abdul Halim Ghazali, Jamalodin Norzaie et al.The objective of this research was to investigate the capability of rigid Polyvinylchloride (PVC-U) pipes to sustain axial loads. The behavior of PVC-U pipes specimens subjected to short-term uniaxial compression loads was experimentally investigated. Results of the load-displacement tests on pipes of different wall thickness, diameter and specimen heights were recorded. The experimental test results show that the PVC-U pipes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,696 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVoltage Sag Effects on the Process Continuity of a Refinery with Induction Motors LoadsTarek I. ElShennawy, Mahmoud A. El-Gammal, Amr Y. Abou-GhazalaProblem statement: Process continuity of industrial plants (like a refinery) is subjected to several shutdowns due to voltage sags causing large induction motors to trip, either by undervoltage or by overcurrent relays, sometimes by the mechanical protection. These unplanned shutdowns cost the plant tens of thousands of dollars per shutdown in addition to material damage costs, restart charges and any … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,120 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnalysis of the Tunnel-Support Interaction Through a Probabilistic ApproachPierpaolo OresteThe analysis of the behavior of a tunnel requires the evaluation of numerous parameters, relative to the ground and the support structure and which are generally only known with a certain degree of approximation. The uncertainty of these parameters is reflected on the results of the calculation, that is, on the state of stress in the support structure. In order … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2015 · 6,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDetention Pond Sediment Accumulation Prediction using Monte Carlo SimulationSupiah Shamsudin, Abd Rashid Mohd Darom, Irma Norazurah Mohamad, Azmi Ab RahmanProblem statement: A study in Malaysia had been carried out to predict the sediment accumulation in urban detention ponds. Suspended sediment is pollutant of primary concern to the river that results in adverse environmental effect. Detention pond becomes a practical approach to this problem. Suspended sediment that settled in stormwater detention pond, can bring effect to the detention pond functions. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 7,528 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsValidation of MIKE 11 Model Simulated Data for Biochemical and Chemical Oxygen Demands TransportMahdieh Eisakhani, Md. Pauzi Abdullah, Othman Abd Karim, Amirhossein MalakahmadProblem statement: The aim of the study was to model the discharge, biochemical and chemical oxygen demands (BOD and COD) loads in each cross section of Bertam River in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Cameron Highlands form the headwater catchment for two major rivers of the lowlands; Pahang River and Perak River. On the other hand, Cameron Highlands is undergoing rapid development … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Jan 2012 · 7,686 accessesView PDFCite
