Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Testing of Screw Turbines for Flat Flow with Uneven Blade DistancesYulianto, Bambang Priyadi, Fathoni, Hari SuciptoIt is an innovative thing to design turbines that are compatible with flat-flow water energy. The turbine that was chosen is a turbine screw model with a non-uniform blade slope. The turbine made with a stator consists of a collector pipe and a quick pipe as a nozzle and a screw-shaped rotor with varying blade spacing. The results of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 4 Jan 2019 · 7,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamics of Buses - Part IIIRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Gheorghe Frăţilă et al.Dynamics, or dynamic processes, is the part of mechanics dealing with the study of processes trying to describe as real as possible the movement of a body, element, mechanism, car, etc., also taking into account the action of the forces on the respective system with their influence on the actual movement of system. The present paper aims to present the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 20 Apr 2018 · 8,454 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractANALISIS OF THE NONLINEAR DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM'S SUSTAINABILITYAlexander B. Chernyshev, Karina V. Martirosyan, Alexander V. MartirosyanSystems' stability is the topical issue of control systems' development province. In this study the research of methodology of the nonlinear distributed control systems' stability assessment is conducted. Research of the standard distributed links' frequency surfaces is executed, limit characteristics of the parameters influencing by sight of spatial hodograph are investigated. The purpose of the work is to present the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2014 · 6,708 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Land Use Practices on the Organic Carbon Content, Cation Exchange Capacity and Aggregate Stability of Soils in the Catchment ZonesMosayeb Heshmati, Arifin Abdu, Shamshuddin Jusop, Nik Muhammad MajidProblem statement: Land use practice leads to changes in the physico-chemical properties of soils, such as Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and Soil Aggregate Stability (SAS) that cause soil erosion. Approach: Merek catchment, Iran suffers from land degradation due to poor land use practice. A study was carried out with the objectives: (i) to determine soil nutrient … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 25 Oct 2011 · 8,722 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiver Embankment and Bank Failure: A Study on Geotechnical Characteristics and Stability AnalysisMd. Bellal Hossain, Toshinori Sakai, Md. Zakaria HossainProblem statement: Embankment failure and riverbank erosion are common problem in Bangladesh. Almost every year earthen embankments and riverbanks are facing problems like erosion, breaching or retirements. Among many reasons the major causes are considered due to the use of geotechnically unstable materials, improper method of construction, seepage and sliding. In this study the problem is considered geotechnical point of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 11,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRock Slopes Failure Susceptibility Analysis: From Remote Sensing Measurements to Geographic Information System Raster ModulesFilipello Andrea, Giuliani Andrea, Mandrone GiuseppeProblem statement: Two important step can be recognised in the rockfall analysis: the potential failure detection and the run out simulation. Analyzing the stability of rock slopes, most important kinematisms are planar or wedge slidings and topplings. The aim of this study was to coupling a deterministic approach for landslide initiation (potential rockfall source areas) with a runout analysis by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMass Structure Deformation Monitoring using Low Cost Differential Global Positioning System DeviceRamin S. Azar, Helmi Z.M. ShafriIn this study, a technique for monitoring bridge deformation with the simplest GPS device available was demonstrated. The accuracy of these observations was evaluated and the best approach for this purpose was suggested. The device used was the low cost GS20 Leica single frequency GPS, which is a basic GPS receiver for this study. This study was done during March, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 8,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelf-Generation ART-1 Neural Network with Gradient-Descent Method Aid for Latin Alphabet RecognitionMbaïtiga ZacharieProblem statement: In this study a self-generation ART-1 neural network that is an efficient algorithm that emulates the self-organizing pattern recognition developed to avoid the stability-plasticity dilemma in competitive networks learning, is presented for Latin alphabet recognition to use in a vision system for road sings recognition. Approach: The first step of our approach deals with the training process where … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship Between Shear Strength and Soil Water Characteristic Curve of an Unsaturated Granitic Residual SoilThamer Ahmed Mohamed, Faisal Hj. Ali, S. Hashim, Bujang B.K. HuatShear strength parameters are crucial for stability analyses of slopes against slope failures and landslides. The three shear strength parameters that are required to define a failure envelope of an unsaturated soil are c’ (apparent cohesion), Φ’ (effective angle of friction) and Φb (shear strength change with change in matric suction). A soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) that relates the water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
