Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Spring Design as Return Cycle of Two Stroke Spark Ignition Linear Engine on the Combustion Process and PerformanceA. Z.M. Fathallah, R. A. BakarProblem statements: The effects of optimization on spring design of the linear engine with spring mechanism in its performance and combustion process have been examined. However, at certain conditions the engine can not work properly as predicted. This can happen because displacement of engine stroke is depending on thrust forces of combustion process in cylinder of the engine. For that, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,512 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcrylic Rubber Latex in Ferrocement for Strengthening Reinforced Concrete BeamsD. Raj Kumar, B. VidivelliProblem statement: In India, the early deterioration of reinforced concrete structures has become a big social problem in recent years. An essential research is needed for the development of effective repair materials and their execution systems comes to an important issue from the viewpoint of the longevity of infrastructures at present. Ferrocement laminates are introduced to enhance the overall performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,849 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Exhausting Exercise Induced Fatigue on the Double-Leg Balance of Elite Male AthletesKhodadad Letafatkar, Mohammad Hossein Alizadeh, Mohammad Reza KordiProblem statement: Fatigue is a complex phenomenon that can be described as a time-dependent exercise-induced reduction in the maximal force generating capacity of a muscle. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of exhausting exercise induced fatigue on the double-leg balance of elite male athletes. Approach: This study included 30 apparently healthy young adults (handball and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,892 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: About 30 male professional athletes with mean age 23±2.1 years old, mean weight 82±1.3 kg and mean height1 81±9.7 cm were selected for participation in this study. In this study Unstable Biodex platform (level 3) used for stability evaluation. Balance performance was quantified as … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite 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 accessIn the abstractStrengthening of Corrosion-Damaged Reinforced Concrete Beams with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer LaminatesA. Leema Rose, K. Suguna, P. N. RagunathProblem statement: This study showed the results of an experimental investigation on the strengthening of corrosion damaged reinforced concrete beams with unidirectional cloth glass fiber reinforced polymer (UDCGFRP) laminates. Approach: All the beam specimens 150×250×3000 mm were cast and tested for the present investigation. One beam specimen was neither corroded nor strengthened to serve as a reference. Two beams were … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Torsion on Externally Prestressed Segmental Concrete Bridge with Shear KeyM. A. Algorafi, A. A.A. Ali, M. S. Jaafar et al.Externally Prestressed Segmental (EPS) concrete box sections are widely used in the construction of bridge structures today. EPS concept has become an attractive tool for rehabilitation and strengthening of existing bridges which have insufficient strength and/or excessive deflection and cracking. Problem statement: EPS bridges are affected by combined stresses (bending, shear, normal, and torsional) at the joint interface between the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,428 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Analysis of a prismatic Beam Made of Physical Nonlinear Material under Concentrated and Distributed Continuous Moving LoadsEsfandiar MardaniIt is assumed that a beam made of material has a physical nonlinear behavior. This beam is analyzed under the moving concentrated and distributed continuous loads. The vibration equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton’s Principle and Euler-Lagrange Equation. In this study, the amplitude of vibration, circular frequency, bending moment, stress and deflection of the beam has been calculated. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,370 accessesView PDFCite
