Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStochastic Behavior of Redundant Complex System with Two Types of FailureG. S. Mokaddis, M. Salah EL-Sherbeny, Entesar Al-EsayehProblem statement: This study presented the reliability and Mean Time To System Failure (MTTF) analysis of a two-state complex with repairable system, consisting of two sub-systems A and B arranged in series, incorporating the concept of hardware and human failures. The failure times of operating units and repair time of failed units were exponential distributed. Approach: Markov-renewal processes and properties … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,100 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStochastic Behavior of a Two-Unit Warm Standby System with Two Types of Repairmen and Patience TimeG. S. Mokaddis, M. Salah EL-Sherbeny, Y. Mahmoud AyidProblem statement: In this study we investigated the probabilistic analysis of a two-unit warm standby system with constant failure rate and two types of repairmen and patience time. The first repairman, usually called regular repairman, always remained with the repair facility, with the known fact that he might not be able to do some complex repairs within some tolerable (patience) … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,751 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Analysis of Urban Land Development Using Multi-Criteria Decision Model and Geographical Information System (A Case Study of Babolsar City)Sedigheh Lotfi, Kiomarth Habibi, Mohammad Javad KoohsariProblem Statement: The unplanned physical expansion of cities has been one of the most important problems of urban management in developing countries. Iran, like other developing world has experienced a high level of urbanization growth which transformed the physical fabric of urban areas. North of Iran is one of most rapid growing region of the country where the moderate climate … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,708 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnalysis of a Beam Made of Physical Nonlinear Material on Nonlinear Elastic Foundation under a Moving Concentrated LoadE. MardaniA prismatic beam made of a behaviorally nonlinear material was analyzed under a concentrated load moving with a known velocity on a nonlinear elastic foundation with a reaction [ qe = -K1W(1+ K2W2)]. the vibration equation of motion was derived using Hamilton principle and Euler Lagrange equation. The amplitude of vibration, circular frequency, bending moment, stress and deflection of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,869 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnalytical and Numerical Analysis of Free Bulge Tube HydroformingF. Djavanroodi, M. Gheisary, H. Zoghi-shalFree bulge hydroforming simulation was analysied to investigate the biaxial behavior of extruded aluminum tubes. A finite element model was constructed to simulate the hydroforming process and asses the influence of friction between die walls and tube, tube material properties and springback of formed tube. It was found that material hardening coefficient had the most significant influence on formability characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,863 accessesView PDF Cite
