Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Heat-Treated Steel and Related ApplicationsShu-Ping Chang, Ming-Chen Chen, Jyh-Dong LinNumerous studies conducted after the 921 earthquake in Taiwan in 1999 have reported that because heat-treated steel features relatively unstable mechanics properties, using such steel in welding, bar splicing, or as thread-cutting components in structures may result in lack of resistance to seismic activity. However, nondestructive testing methods that can be used to identify the type of steel delivered to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2015 · 7,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWelded Connections of Wind Turbine Towers under Fatigue Loading: Finite Element Analysis and Comparative StudyNafsika Stavridou, Evangelos Efthymiou, Charalampos C. BaniotopoulosIncreased contemporary energy needs have led to multiple investments on wind power plants and structural improvements are considered necessary for the construction of taller, more robust and more economical structures. Tubular steel wind turbine towers that are the prevailing structural configuration, demand welding of circular subparts to construct the tower structure. These circumferential welds between tower subparts and between the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Aug 2015 · 8,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBlockade of Group I Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors (mGluRs) Activation Inhibits Nociception Following Descending Colon Distension in SheepBogdan F. Kania, Danuta Wrońska, Mikołaj A. GralakExpression of mGluRs of groups I and II was found in structures of CNS closely related with nociception: spinal cord superficial fields, responsible for pain filling or modulation of neurotransmission in the peripheral receptors. The present study examined contribution of mGluRs to the development and maintenance of changes in behavioral and clinical symptoms caused by visceral pain. Experiments were carried … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2014 · 7,427 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModification of Carbon Steel by Laser Surface Melting: Part II: Effect of Laser Beam Power on Microstructural Features and Surface HardnessHashem F. El-Labban, M. Abdelaziz, Essam R.I. MahmoudThe surface hardness has an important effect on the wear resistance of different materials. The present study aims to improve the surface hardness of carbon steel through the application of laser surface melting with suitable conditions. The laser beam power and travelling speed are the main factors that affect the properties of the treated zone. In this study, three different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2014 · 7,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Soft-Computer Numerical Control System for Micro-Electrochemical MachiningYukui Wang, Hui Chen, Zhenlong Wang et al.Problem statement: In this study a kind of soft Computer Numerical Control (soft-CNC) system for micro Electrochemical Machining (micro-ECM) based on RT-Linux platform is developed. Approach: Dual-kernel structure of System is adopted: Linux and RT-Linux are used to realize timesharing tasks and real-time tasks separately. Results: The CNC Graphical User Interface (GUI) is designed by Qt and runs on Linux … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2011 · 11,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatic and Dynamic Performance Improvement of Conventional Computer Numerical Control Machine Tool Bed with Hybrid Welded SteelS.S. Abuthakeer, P.V. Mohanram, G. MohankumarProblem statement: The advancements in machine tools to maximize the production by increasing spindle speeds have caused vibration in machine tools. The two functional requirements of machine tool bed for machine tools are high structural stiffness and high damping, which cannot be satisfied simultaneously if conventional metallic materials such as cast iron are employed. Hence there is a need to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 11,479 accessesView PDFCite

Results: In nonlinear finite element analysis by the ASI technique, the highest computational … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 8,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Rate-Dependent Interaction Diagrams for Reinforced Concrete ColumnsTaher Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer Hamoush, Wonchang Choi, Moayyad Al NasraProblem statement: There is a need to better understand the rate dependence behavior of reinforced concrete structures in order to improve their response to impact and blast loads. Analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic loadings has been recommended in many FEMA guidelines. However, reevaluation of design becomes extremely important in cases where large deformations are expected … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 8,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Foam Density on Specific Energy Absorption of Rectangular Steel TubesNirut Onsalung, Chawalit Thinvongpituk, Kulachate PainthongProblem statement: In general, the automotive structure is targeted to absorb high impact energy with least mass as much as possible. This is in order to limit the fuel consumption. Therefore, various techniques to increase the energy absorption with less mass increment have been studied for years. One of those techniques is by filling foam in the tube. This study … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeismic Response Evaluation of Moment Resistant Frame with Built-Up Column SectionMohammad Ebrahimi, Hesam Sharifian, Mohammad AhangarProblem statement: Moment Resisting Frame (MRF) is widely used as lateral resisting systems when sufficient ductility and deformability are to be met.
