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 abstractStatistical Models for Hardened Properties of Self-Compacting ConcreteArabi N.S. Al Qadi, Kamal Nasharuddin Bin Mustapha, Hashem Al-Mattarneh, Qahir N.S. AL-KadiProblem statement: For predicting workability and hardened properties of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) no well known explicit formulation. Approach: Statistical models were carried out to model the influence of key mixture parameter (cement, water to powder ratio, fly ash and super plasticizer) on hardened properties affecting the performance of SCC. Such responses included compressive strength at 3, 7 and 28 days … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,140 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability of Axially Loaded Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer Confined Reinforced Concrete Circular ColumnsVenkatarman Nagaradjane, Pulipaka Narasimharao Raghunath, Kannan SugunaMonte-Carlo simulation based procedure was applied for assessing the reliability of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) confined reinforced concrete columns. Assessment of reliability provides a quantitative measure of effectiveness of repair. Problem Statement: The procedure presented in the paper could be used for assessing the reliability of reinforced concrete columns before and after the application of FRP wrap, thus helping to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,974 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Elasticities of Reliability and MTTF for k-out-of-n SystemsAli Muhammad Rushdi, Abdulaziz Efain AlsulamiThe application of the concept of cost elasticity of reliability was extended from the parallel system to the partially redundant or k-out-of-n:G(F) system (or k-out-of-n system, for short). An expression for the cost elasticity of reliability was derived for a general k-out-of-n system. The expression yielded acceptable results for a wide range of values for k, n, and component reliability. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,295 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the General Solution of First-Kind Hypersingular Integral EquationsSuzan J. Obaiys, Z. Abbas, N. M.A. Nik Long et al.A new algorithm is presented to provide a general solution for a first type Hyper singular Integral Equation (HSIE). The singular integral has been converted into a regular form by cancelling the singularity and then transforming it into a system of algebraic equation based orthogonal poly- nomials. We applied the convergence method presented by (Obaiys, 2013) to conform the numerical … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 28 Jan 2016 · 8,699 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRoles of Macroeconomic Variables on Agricultural Diversification in NigeriaSunday B. Akpan, Samuel J. Udoka, Inimfon V. PatrickThe study examined the trend in agricultural diversification index from 1960 to 2014 in Nigeria. It also determined the influence of some macroeconomic variables on the estimated index. Augmented Dickey-Fuller-GLS unit root test showed that all series were integrated of order one. The long-run and short-run elasticity of the agricultural diversification index with respect to the specified macro-economic variables were … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2015 · 7,491 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMATERIAL PARAMETER OF RUBBER GLOVE VULCANIZED USING COMBINED INFRARED AND HOT-AIR HEATINGTipapon Khamdaeng, Numpon Panyoyai, Thanasit WongsiriamnuayVulcanization is an important chemical-thermal process in production of rubber products resulting in change of material properties, increased elasticity and strength. In general, Young’s modulus is used as an indicator of elastic deformation at loading configuration. However, rubber is not truly elastic and a single parameter is insufficient to describe the whole deformation contributed by microstructure of rubber network. Therefore, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2014 · 7,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTRUSTED CLOUD COMPUTING FRAMEWORK FOR HEALTHCARE SECTORMervat Adib Bamiah, Sarfraz Nawaz Brohi, Suriayati Chuprat, Jamalul-lail Ab MananCloud computing is rapidly evolving due to its efficient characteristics such as cost-effectiveness, availability and elasticity. Healthcare organizations and consumers lose control when they outsource their sensitive data and computing resources to a third party Cloud Service Provider (CSP), which may raise security and privacy concerns related to data loss and misuse appealing threats. Lack of consumers’ knowledge about their … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Nov 2013 · 7,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Study Between Volume and Overall Acceptability of Cake with Properties of Hard Wheat FlourHanee Al-DmoorThe most important factor in cakes making is the availability of soft wheat flour. Sometimes cake flour is producing by milling hard wheat because the shortage of soft wheat flour. The aim of this study is to identify a specification for production cake flour from hard wheat which gives a high quality of cake products. Protein %, ash %, wet … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 6 Jul 2013 · 7,892 accessesView PDFCite
