Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsability Validation of an Ergonomic Inward Directional Screwdriver for Enhanced Musculoskeletal ComfortPoh Kiat Ng, Bing Sheng Choong, Kian Siong JeePrevious studies suggested that the use of inward torque direction in hand-related manual activities not only increases the total normal force and torque capacity but also reduces grip force. This means lesser effort is required to perform the task, which prevents overexertion and hand injuries. Manual screwdrivers are the most common hand tools used in the industry and daily life. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 27 Oct 2016 · 7,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Using Hysteresis Models (Bilinear and Modified Clough) on Seismic Demands of Single Degree of Freedom SystemsAhmad N. Tarawneh, Sereen A. Majdalaweyh, Bassam Z. MahasnehBased on nonlinear inelastic dynamic analysis of Single Degree Of Freedom systems (SDOF), this work investigates the effect of different parameters on the seismic response of these systems. Generalized SDOF systems that present both short and long period structures are subjected to two sets of synthetic ground motions according to the site condition; stiff rock site and stiff soil one, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 17 Aug 2016 · 7,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Development of an Ergonomic Milling Machine Control Knob using TRIZ PrinciplesPoh Kiat Ng, Kian Siong JeeTRIZ, a Russian abbreviation known as the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, refers to a methodology for problem-solving rooted in logic and data rather than intuition. It promotes the ability to solve problems creatively. Using TRIZ tools for problem-solving such as the cause-effect-chain analysis and engineering contradiction, a new ergonomic milling machine control knob was developed for improved musculoskeletal comfort. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 28 Apr 2016 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractInfluences of Tactile Sensation on Pinch Force under Loaded and Unloaded ConditionsPoh Kiat Ng, Kian Siong Jee, Adi Saptari, Chiew Yean NgAlthough researchers have studied various parameters that affect grip force, few studies investigate the effects of tactile sensation on pinch force. This study aims to determine the influences of tactile sensation on pinch force with a special emphasis on screw knobs under loaded and unloaded conditions. The participants included 32 manual workers who were required to pinch and turn the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 17 Sep 2015 · 6,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Tunnel-Support Interaction Through a Probabilistic ApproachPierpaolo OresteThe analysis of the behavior of a tunnel requires the evaluation of numerous parameters, relative to the ground and the support structure and which are generally only known with a certain degree of approximation. The uncertainty of these parameters is reflected on the results of the calculation, that is, on the state of stress in the support structure. In order … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2015 · 6,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProfitability and Financial Sustainability Analysis in Italian Aquaculture Firms by Application of Economic and Financial MarginsMattia Iotti, Giuseppe BonazziAgricultural Firms operating in the aquaculture sector in Italy are often characterized by high investment and high capital intensity. In fact, these companies need to develop structures and breeding systems to generate adequate cash flow to repay their investment in fixed assets. In addition, the biological cycle of breeding further extends the need for capital, in this case to finance … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 2 Apr 2015 · 8,436 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMOTIONS STUDY OF A SINGLE CYLINDER HIGH SPEED SPARK IGNITION LINIER ENGINE WITH SPRING SYSTEM AS RETURN CYCLEA. Z.M. Fathallah, Semin, I. M. Ariana, I. GeriantoA single cylinder two stroke spark ignition conventional engine have been modified to linier engine with spring mechanism. Before develop the design of linear engine is necessary to analysis of motion. Although principle of combustion process in combustion chamber is the same in fact the oscillation movement is different. Simulation technique has been adopted to study both linear and conventional … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 17 Jan 2014 · 7,179 accessesView PDFCite

The objectives of this research were to study: (1) the moving force in using the media of Mo-lam for solving social problem, (2) the role of Mo-lam and social problem solving and (3) the effect of campaign with the sharing in … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,973 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Connection Simulation Using Dynamic Nodal Numbering AlgorithmAlongkorn Lamom, Thaksin Thepchatri, Wanchai RivepiboonProblem statement: The traditional dynamic nodal numbering algorithm was proposed for generating code number to support truss and frame simulation using only one element type, frame element; it facilitates the software development process. The traditional algorithm, however, supports simulation of only two types of connection: Hinged connection and rigid connection. In many cases, the problems consist of mix-connection and hybrid … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,199 accessesView PDFCite
