Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObservational Study of Wind Shear in Northeastern BrazilFernando R. Martins, André R. Gonçalves, Enio B. PereiraThe wind energy share is growing fast in Brazil and a better understanding of wind speed vertical profiles is essential for accurate power density estimates. The wind shear is highly variable in space and time, being influenced by surface layer stability. Studies concerning wind vertical profiles may have a significant contribution to the Brazilian energy sector. However, wind observational data … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 12 Mar 2016 · 8,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Magnetorheological Finishing Machine for Small-Bore Part of Irregular Shape and Experimental StudyWang Tingzhang, Chen Mingjun, Liu Henan, Xu JiangMagnetorheological finishing machine tool with small ball-end permanent-magnet polishing head is proposed as a method to solve the problem that small-bore parts of irregular shape with small curvature radius concave surface cannot be polished by traditional magnetorheological finishing machine tool. The four-axis linkage magnetorheological finishing machine tool with modular open numerical system and easy-operating man-machine interactive interface is developed. Then … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 26 Jun 2015 · 7,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBonding of Resin Materials to All-Ceramics: A ReviewLiang Chen, Byoung In SuhProblem statement: All-ceramic materials, especially silica-based lithium disilicate and non-silicate-based Zirconia, have become a topic of interest in the field of dentistry. It is still difficult to achieve a strong and durable resin-ceramic adhesion, especially resin-Zirconia bonding. Approach: The article reviews the current literature published in the past 5 years, focusing on the latest resin bonding techniques (including surface treatment, … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 21 May 2012 · 15,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Ultra-Precision Polishing of Large Aperture Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide MirrorYong Shu, Yifan Dai, Ziwen Zheng, Shengyi LiProblem statement: Silicon Carbide (SiC) optical materials have become the first choice for mirrors in space optical systems and large ground-based optical systems due to their outstanding mechanical, physical and optical properties. Compared with traditional optical glasses, SiC optical materials are provided with the characteristics of high hardness and multiphase, which embarrass the high efficient fabrication of SiC mirrors with … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2011 · 10,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation and Polishing Properties of Spherical Porous Silica AbrasiveHong Lei, Hu Li, Ping Liu, Ruling ChenProblem statement: Abrasive is one of key influencing factors on the polished surface quality in Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP). Solid abrasives in CMP slurries are easy to cause polishing scratches. It is well known that reducing the hardness of abrasives would improve the polished surface quality. Therefore, the change in structure or shape of the abrasives means a change in … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2011 · 9,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Wall Roughness and Concentration of Clay on Erosion in the Hole Erosion TestKissi Benaissa, Parron Vera Miguel Angel, Rubio Cintas Maria Dolores et al.Problem statement: Internal soil erosion is a real threat for hydraulic infrastructures. In its final stage it develops in piping involving the formation and progression of a continuous void inside the soil between the upstream and downstream sides. The hole erosion test was introduced to characterize kinematics of piping in terms of the time left to rupture. Actual modeling approaches … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2010 · 8,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of Difference Electrode Materials in Electrical Discharge Machining of Tungsten CarbideP. Janmanee, A. MuttamaraProblem statement: Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is now a well-established machining option in many industries. Tungsten carbide (WC-Co) is an important tool and die material mainly because of its high hardness, strength, wear resistance and high melting point. Normally, EDM is capable of machining geometrically complex or hard material component, that are precise and difficult to machine. The objective of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,871 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust of Doppler Centroid for Mapping Sea Surface Current by Using Radar Satellite DataMazlan Hashim, Maged MarghanyProblem statement: Sea surface current retrieving from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is required standard methods due to the complexity of sea surface ocean imaging in SAR data. In this context, various analytical models have been developed which describe overall effects of sea surface roughness on the Doppler signal mechanisms. Nevertheless, such models are limited in the complexity of the sea … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach of Adaptive Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System Modeling in Laser Processing-A Graphical User Interface (GUI) BasedSivarao, Peter Brevern, N. S.M. El-TayebProblem statement: The power of Artificial Intelligent (AI) becomes more authoritative when the system is programmed to cater the need of complex applications. MATLAB 2007B, integrating artificial intelligent system and Graphical User Interface (GUI) has reduced researchers' fear-to-model factor due to unfamiliarity and phobia to produce program codes. Approach: In this study, how GUI was developed on Matlab to model … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmissivity of Triangular Surfaces Determined by Differential Method: From Homogenization to Validity Limit of Geometrical OpticsTaoufik Ghabara, Faouzi Ghmari, M. S. SifaouiGeometric optics approximation for emissivity from triangular surfaces was compared with exact scattering predictions from electromagnetic theory. Rigorous electromagnetic scattering theory was numerically formulated based on the differential method. We have used a numerical simulation of the emissivity of gold and tungsten for a wavelength equal 0.55 micron to explore the validity of the geometric optics.
