Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study of Composite Beams Made of Steel Tubes Filled with Concrete under the Confinement Effect of U-Links and Stud-PlateMoayyad Al-Nasra, Madiha Ammari, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Abdelqader NajmiConcrete strength improved substantially when lateral confinement stresses are provided. This effect has been exploited in this study in composite beams at the concrete compression zone. New type of confinement is used in this research. The confinement of concrete in the compression zone is accomplished by providing U-links and stud-plate systems. The U-links are steel bars in the shape of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2017 · 7,259 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Results on the Brittle Fracture of Terfenol-D Specimens under Magnetic FieldMarco Colussi, Kotaro Mori, Fumio NaritaThe following investigation has the purpose of describing, both experimentally and numerically, the fracture behavior of a giant magnetostrictive alloy commercially known as Terfenol-D. Single-edge precracked specimens have been analyzed via three-point bending tests, measuring fracture loads in the presence and absence of a magnetic field at various loading rates. The Strain Energy Density (SED), averaged in a finite control … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Dec 2016 · 7,772 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Connection Simulation Using Dynamic Nodal Numbering AlgorithmAlongkorn Lamom, Thaksin Thepchatri, Wanchai RivepiboonProblem statement: The traditional dynamic nodal numbering algorithm was proposed for generating code number to support truss and frame simulation using only one element type, frame element; it facilitates the software development process. The traditional algorithm, however, supports simulation of only two types of connection: Hinged connection and rigid connection. In many cases, the problems consist of mix-connection and hybrid … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,199 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Torsion on Externally Prestressed Segmental Concrete Bridge with Shear KeyM. A. Algorafi, A. A.A. Ali, M. S. Jaafar et al.Externally Prestressed Segmental (EPS) concrete box sections are widely used in the construction of bridge structures today. EPS concept has become an attractive tool for rehabilitation and strengthening of existing bridges which have insufficient strength and/or excessive deflection and cracking. Problem statement: EPS bridges are affected by combined stresses (bending, shear, normal, and torsional) at the joint interface between the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,428 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFracture and springback on Double Bulge Tube Hydro-FormingF. Djavanroodi, M. GheisaryThis research aims to establish a basic understanding of Double Bulge Tube Hydro-Form processing of stainless steel deep drawn cups. The method is briefly reviewed by carrying out experimental tests and Finite element analysis. By measuring bulge height in both formed curves by Coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and thickness variation specimen by Ulterasonic thickness measurment device (UTM), it has been … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,889 accessesView PDF Cite
