Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Wear Map for the Sliding and Rotational Wear behavior of ShaftsAl-mahasne Mayas MohammadThis study was an attempt to study the wear calculation method for rotating shaft in the friction couple type shaft-cuff in conditions of oiling in high dusty environment. The size and quantity of abrasive particles that go into the clearance between friction surfaces, definition of the pressure including the load in conjugate that is given by the cuff spring as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRange of Medium and High Energy Protons and Alpha Particles in NaI ScintillatorOnder KabadayiWe have calculated the range of proton and alpha particle in NaI scintillator which is a commonly used substance in scintillation detector manufacturing. The stopping power of proton and alpha particle in NaI is calculated first by using the theoretical treatment of Montenegro et al.[1]. The range calculation has been performed by using a technique that we developed in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2004 · 6,946 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractMagnetic Fusion Plasma DriveFlorian NeukartIn the evolving realm of space exploration, efficient propulsion methods are paramount to achieve interplanetary and possibly interstellar voyages. Traditional propulsion systems, although proven, offer limited capabilities when considering longer-duration missions beyond our immediate cosmic vicinity. This study introduces and thoroughly investigates the Magnetic Fusion Plasma Drive (MFPD) propulsion system, a novel fusion-powered propulsion mechanism. Through rigorous theoretical underpinnings and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 4 Mar 2024 · 7,180 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRepower and Evaluation of New Power of Synchronous GeneratorsS.P.Y. Santos, E. Delbone, E.F. Carvalho, L.N. MartinsProblem Statement: Useful life of winding isolation is about 30 years. It can be reduced when it is submitted to overloads or when it is worked in aggressive environments. Approach: When retrofit is done, an increasing to superior isolation class is recommendable. So, generator capacity can be increased and pay back could be excellent justifying the investment. Result: Several Brazilian’s … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 6,800 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTechnical Buckling, Stress and Strain Simplified Analysis of Semi-Slender Thin-Walled Cylindrical Pinned ColumnKrzysztof MurawskiThe stability of load-bearing members is a challenging issue for designers. The avoidance of possible stability troubles is a mandatory step of the overall design process. The paper presents and discusses two simplified methods based on the Technical Stability Theory (TSTh) of loss of stability of lateral buckling in elastic-plastic states of semi-slender columns axially compressed by force. It is … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 27 May 2021 · 6,823 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Timescale Microscopic Theory for Radiation Degradation of Electronic and Optoelectronic DevicesDanhong Huang, Fei Gao, D.A. Cardimona et al.A multi-timescale hybrid model is proposed to study microscopically the degraded performance of electronic devices, covering three individual stages of radiation effects studies, including ultra-fast displacement cascade, intermediate defect stabilization and cluster formation, as well as slow defect reaction and migration. Realistic interatomic potentials are employed in molecular-dynamics calculations for the first two stages up to 100 ns as well … …Space Science International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2015 · 10,235 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMinimization of ℓ2-Norm of the KSOR OperatorA. I. Alzaki, I. K. YoussefWe consider the problem of minimizing the ℓ2-norm of the KSOR operator when solving a linear systems of the form AX = b where, A = I +B (TJ = -B, is the Jacobi iteration matrix), B is skew symmetric matrix. Based on the eigenvalue functional relations given for the KSOR method, we find optimal values of the relaxation parameter … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 8 Jan 2013 · 7,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntrahydrogen Bonding and Transition States Between Enol and Enethiol Tautomers in β-ThioxoketonesBahjat A. Saeed, Rita S. Elias, Ebraheem Abdu MusadProblem statement: Hydrogen bonding is one of the most important concepts in chemistry because it is crucial to understand many different interactions both in gas phase and in condensed media. A particular subset is presented by the intramolecular hydrogen bonds where two ends of the same molecule interact, resulting in a ringlike structure. Approach: The study involved theoretical investigation of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,452 accessesView PDFCite
