Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow to Find Wave-Scattering Parameters from the Causal Bond Graph Model of a High Frequency FilterHichem Taghouti, Abdelkader MamiProblem statement: The aim of this study is to use the bond graph technique and the wave-scattering formalism, jointly, to determine the scattering matrix of a high frequency filter with cut-off frequency 10 GHz. Approach: The first step consist to model the high frequency filter by bond graph approach, afterward, we decomposed the obtained causal bond graph model under an … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,658 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeismic Response Evaluation of Moment Resistant Frame with Built-Up Column SectionMohammad Ebrahimi, Hesam Sharifian, Mohammad AhangarProblem statement: Moment Resisting Frame (MRF) is widely used as lateral resisting systems when sufficient ductility and deformability are to be met. Response of these structures is strictly dependent upon behavior of their joints, whereas the analysis of steel moment resisting frames generally has been performed without considering the accurate connection behavior. Approach: In this study Finite Element (FE) models … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,289 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSorting N-Elements Using Natural Order: A New Adaptive Sorting ApproachShamim Akhter, M. Tanveer HasanProblem statement: Researchers focused their attention on optimally adaptive sorting algorithm and illustrated a need to develop tools for constructing adaptive algorithms for large classes of measures. In adaptive sorting algorithm the run time for n input data smoothly varies from O(n) to O(nlogn), with respect to several measures of disorder. Questions were raised whether any approach or technique would … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,730 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Comfort Assessment: A Case Study at Malaysian Automotive IndustryA. R. Ismail, N. Jusoh, R. Zulkifli et al.Problem statement: Thermal comfort has a great influence on the productivity and satisfaction of indoor building occupants. The exposure to excessive heat during work may cause discomfort and contributed to low productivity among workers. Malaysia known with its hot and humid weather where in most of the survey study published indicated that workers in Malaysia automotive industries had exposed to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,581 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Sliding Mode Command for a System of Coupled ReservoirsRiadh Gamoudi, Mahmoud Ellouze, Abdelkader MamiThis study consisted to determine a discreet order by sliding method that was applied on a regulation procedure of a formed level by communicating reservoirs. The model that represents the system is determined by parametric identification based on the algorithm of the recursive least square with forgetfulness factor. Problem statement: The purpose is to develop a robust order that assuring … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransversely Cracked Beam's Finite Elements with a Hinged EndM. Skrinar, T. PliberšekTwo new beam finite-elements to be used for the transverse displacement analysis of slender beams with transverse cracks are presented where the derivations are based on a simplified computational model. The beam stiffness matrixes are presented in symbolic forms for beams with a single transverse crack and a hinge at one of the nodes. Since in the derivations the corresponding … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,916 accessesView PDFCite
