Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis and Mechanical Design Solutions for Sit-To-Stand Assisting DevicesPierluigi Rea, Erika OttavianoSit-to-stand can be considered the most common daily-life activity and it can be defined as a change of posture, in which the base of support is transferred from the seat to the feet. It requires both voluntary movement of different body segments that contribute to the equilibrium and control during an important displacement of the Centre Of Gravity of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 11 Dec 2016 · 7,834 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMechanical Strength and Durability Properties of High Performance Mortar Containing Densified Silica FumeCheah Chee Ban, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: Numerous data and information on pozzolanic reaction and microfiller properties of silica fume were derived from laboratory investigation on silica fume in undensified form. Currently, due to low bulk density of undensified silica fume which poses problem in transportation and handling of the material, silica fume are commercially supplied in densified form. Densification process used to increase bulk … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Economic Feasibility of Rebuilding Al-Isra University Tunnel — Mechanical FactorsBassam Al-HelouEconomic feasibility is the cornerstone in the decision making on an economic venture. The more positive the economic signs, the less the risk and foreseen losses. This study throws light on some economic advantages of rebuilding Al-Isra tunnel, especially in terms of shortening the car/bus trip by six kilometers go and fro, and in terms of reducing the trip schedule … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHydro-Mechanical Constraints and Deformations in Road Embankments Using Unsaturated Low-Swelling SoilSoumaïla Gandema, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré, Rimyalegdo Kiébré et al.In this paper, we present the results of a simulation of the evolution of stresses and deformations in a road embankment using unsaturated low-swelling soil under hydro-mechanical pressures, modeled with the finite element code Code_Bright. We assume that this embankment, which supports asphalt, follows the Barcelona Thermo-Elasto-Plastic model (BBM-TEP). This model describes the Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) behavior of unsaturated fine soils … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2025 · 2,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhysical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete using Recycled Clay Bricks as Coarse AggregateMohammad Yasir Abdul Hakim, Mohamed El-Zeadani, Siti Aminah OsmanRising construction waste due to demolition work, natural disasters, and development is becoming a prominent issue. To tackle this, Recycled Crushed Brick Masonry Aggregate (RCBMA) can be an ideal replacement for the limited Natural Coarse Aggregates (NCA) in the production of concrete, potentially assisting in managing construction waste and reducing the depletion of NCA. As such, this study focused on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2022 · 7,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMechanical Properties of Concrete Including Wood Shavings as Fine AggregatesAshraf A. M. Fadiel, Taher Abu-LebdehResidual and end-life products are a major hazard on the environment. Many researchers have considered waste as partial replacement of some construction materials to reduce their environmental and ecological problems. This kind of practices can be an important option for the protection of the environment. Wood shavings and saw dust are byproduct of the lumber industry. They are made from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2021 · 7,040 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMechanical Reliability Calculations for the Thin Specialty Glass PV Solar PanelsDhananjay Joshi, James E. WebbThis study provides important design guidance to the Photovoltaic (PV) solar panel development efforts using the finite element based computations of the PV module under the mechanical loadings. We consider specialty thin glass (Corning Eagle XG®) as superstrate of the PV module, while a standard tempered Soda-Lime-Silica Glass (SLG) is considered as bottom support. The reliability calculations for the module … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 3 Sep 2019 · 7,138 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Acid Frosting on the Microstructure Characteristics and Mechanical Strength of Eroded Soda-Lime-Silica Glasses by SandstormAkinwumi Gbenga Owoyemi, Grace Olufunke Matthew, Seun Samuel OwoeyeMost glass products such as cars windshields, solar panels protecting glass and windowpanes are exposed to unavoidable sandblasting effects especially in areas prone to sandstorms. This sand impingement results into micro cracks and surface flaws which altered the structure and strength of the exposed glasses thereby lowering their service life. In this regard, attempt was made in this research to … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 25 Apr 2019 · 6,918 accessesView PDFCite
