Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesStiffened Panels Damage Tolerance Determination using an Optimization Procedure based on a Linear Delamination Growth ApproachAniello Riccio, Francesco Di Caprio, Francesco Scaramuzzino et al.The damage tolerance of delaminated composite panels under compressive load is usually numerically evaluated by means of computationally expensive non-linear approaches. In this study, an alternative numerical linear approach, able to mimic the delamination propagation initiation, is proposed. With the aim to exploit its benefits, in terms of computational costs reduction, the proposed linear methodology has been used in this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2016 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesGlassy Amorphous Metal Injection Molded Induced Morphological DefectsRaffaella Aversa, Daniela Parcesepe, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu et al.Melt rheology in injection molded metastable supercooled liquid metal of Zr44-Ti11-Cu10-Ni10-Be25 alloy may induce selective crystallizations. High mobility Be, Cu and Ni atoms have been observed to differently crystallize in bulk metal glassy supercooled liquids. Here, we analyze the result of morphological microscopic observation conduct on Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) with composition of a commercial liquid metal alloy (LM001B). The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 27 Dec 2016 · 8,938 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the author namesAnamorphic Cartograms and Environmental Risk AnalysisChiara Porporato, Tamara Bellone, Francesco FiermonteBoth Geography and Statistics use graphical representations. Information Technology has enhanced the visualization of data, beyond the traditional aspects, to such an extent that we can nowadays speak of an "image society". Traditional thematic mapping also shows transformations of a variable over time, linking the geographical datum to the time variable. For some decades now a number of cartograms have … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 12 Dec 2016 · 7,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBiomechanically Inspired Shape Memory Effect Machines Driven by Muscle like Acting NiTi AlloysRaffaella Aversa, Francesco Tamburrino, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu et al.The research shows a bioinspired approach to be adopted to design of systems based on Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), a class of Smart Materials that has in common with muscles the capability to react to an impulse (thermal for SMAs) with a contraction. The biomechanically inspired machine that is discussed in the paper refers to the antagonistic muscles pairs, which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 24 Nov 2016 · 9,109 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesExperimental Study of Particle Emissions from a Modern 5 kW Pellet StoveIgor V. Dyakov, Benjamin Bergmans, Svend Bram et al.This work is dedicated to the determination of the particle emission from a commercially available bottom feed 5 kW pellet stove. Two-stage dilution was applied to provide the operational stability and conditioning of the sample. The analysis of particle emission was performed by means of the Electrical Low Pressure Impactor with 14 stages, able to separate particles from 0.006 to … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Oct 2016 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the author namesSimulation and Experimental Analysis of a Demonstrative Solar Heating and Cooling Plant Installed in Naples (Italy)Annamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia et al.In this study the model of a Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) system and its experimental setup are presented. The SHC system under investigation is a demonstration plant installed in Naples, based on flat plate solar collectors and a single-stage LiBr-H2O absorption chiller. In addition, two vertical tanks are installed as storage system. The balance of system includes: A cooling … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2016 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite

In this Editorial, a brief summary is provided for all the published papers, in order to emphasize the wide range … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 7,919 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesUpdating Italian Design Guide CNR DT-205/2007 in View of Recent Research Findings: Requirements for Pultruded FRP ProfilesFabio Minghini, Nerio Tullini, Francesco AscioneA discussion on some design rules for pultruded fiber-reinforced plastic (PFRP) profiles reported by guideline CNR DT-205/2007 from National Research Council of Italy is presented in the paper. At eight years after approval of this technical document, several changes and improvements are required following recent research findings and supplemental design rules should be incorporated into a future revision. The general … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 9,114 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDynamic Simulation and Optimum Operation Strategy of a Trigeneration System Serving a HospitalFrancesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia, Luigi Libertini et al.This paper presents a numerical analysis of a trigeneration system in a hospital, aiming at determining the cost-optimal operating strategy as a function of the energy demands to be matched. The system includes: A natural gas fired reciprocating engine, heat exchangers for waste-heat recovery, a single-stage LiBr-H2O Absorption Chiller (ACH), a cooling tower, pumps, a backup boiler, a backup vapour-compression … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 29 Aug 2016 · 8,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDevelopment of a Short-Term Canine Full-Thickness Skin Organ Culture Method under Serum-Free ConditionsFrancesca Abramo, Andrea Pirone, Carla Lenzi et al.Full-thickness canine skin organ culture models could provide an entirely new opportunity for studying wound healing, keratinization disorders and allergic skin diseases, all of which have high prevalence and severe impact on canine quality of life. Here we present a canine organ culture method for the short-term maintenance of full-thickness, adult, canine skin in serum-free medium and investigate the possibility … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2016 · 7,380 accessesView PDFCite
