Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUsing Regression to Establish Weights for a Set of Composite Equations through a Numerical Analysis Approach: A Case of Admission Criteria to a CollegeRamzi Naim Nasser, Viviane NaimyProblem statement: Mathematically little is known of college admission criteria as in school grade point average, admission test scores or rank in class and weighting of the criteria into a composite equation. Approach: This study presented a method to obtain weights on “composite admission” equation. The method uses an iterative procedure to build a prediction equation for an optimal weighted … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,179 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDielectric Properties of Ni0.2Zn0.8Fe2O4-Polypropylene CompositesTan Foo Khoon, Jumiah Hassan, Nurhidayaty Mokhtar et al.Problem statement: In the last decade, the studies and investigation on polymer-based composites have drawn significant attention owing to improvement in their mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical and pharmaceutical properties as compared with pure polymer. Approach: Different compositions of Ni0.2Zn0.8Fe2O4 (NZF) and Polypropylene (PP) can alter the useful properties of polymer-based composites. Hence, the determination toward significant percentage of NZF added … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIntegrity Classification Algorithm of Images obtained from Impact Damaged Composite StructuresMahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: Many NDT systems used for damage detection in composites are difficult to apply to complex geometric structures, also, they are time-consuming. As a solution to the problems associated with NDT applications, an intelligent analysis system that supports a portable testing environment, which allowed various types of inputs and provided sufficient data regarding level of damage in a tested … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModified Center Interpolation Net for Classification of Composite Structures Tested Using Low Frequency Electronic TappingMahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: Most exhaustive NDT techniques require large capital equipment, are difficult to apply to complex geometric structures and, above all, are time-consuming to use and some take a considerable time to complete. As a solution to the problems associated with NDT applications, there is a need to establish an intelligent analysis system that supports a portable testing environment, which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,108 accessesView PDFCite
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 Effect of Time Variation on the Wear Sliding Behavior of CompositesWafaa M. Salih, Sanaa M. Salih, Myada M. SalihComposites materials are widely used in all industries all over the world, replacing many other engineering materials. Reasons for such popularity are many, among such, are their physical and mechanical properties in addition to the simplicity of their manufacturing processes. Machine elements that are made of polymeric materials are usually exposed to different causes of failure such as wear. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 6,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCost Optimization of Composite I Beam Floor SystemUroš Klanšek, Stojan KravanjaThe paper presents the cost optimization of the composite I beam floor system. The composite I beam floor system is designed to be constructed up of a reinforced concrete slab and doubly-symmetrical welded steel I beams. The optimization was performed by the nonlinear programming approach, NLP. An accurate objective function of the manufacturing material, power and labour costs was developed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,435 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Biomechanical Composite Model to Determine Effective Elastic Moduli of the CNS Gray MatterMehdi Khoshgoftar, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Farmanzad et al.Brain tissue is a heterogeneous material with complicated microstructural features. Models based on microstructure can lead to more accurate and physically realistic predictions of mechanical characteristics of brain tissue. A two-step Mori-Tanaka/Voigt homogenization procedure is implemented into a 3D microstructurally-based multi-phase composite model, composed of randomly-oriented elastic axons, dendrites and neuronal cell bodies surrounded by an elastic matrix. The effects … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Environmental and Hydraulic Performance of Bio-Composite Revetment BlocksThamer A. Mohamed, Nor A. Alias, Abdul H. Ghazali, Mohd. S. JaafarIt is necessary to develop a concrete revetment block which can cater for environment and at the same time it will be effective in protecting river banks (stabilize the slope of banks) from scouring during flood. In the present study, the environmental and hydraulic performance of the proposed revetment block was evaluated through laboratory and field tests. The tested revetment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComposite Scaffolds for Bone Tissue EngineeringMin WangBiomaterial and scaffold development underpins the advancement of tissue engineering. Traditional scaffolds based on biodegradable polymers such as poly(lactic acid) and poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) are weak and non-osteoconductive. For bone tissue engineering, polymer-based composite scaffolds containing bioceramics such as hydroxyapatite can be produced and used. The bioceramics can be either incorporated in the scaffolds as a dispersed secondary phase or … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,355 accessesView PDFCite
