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 abstractFatigue Life Prediction of Screw Blade in Screw Sand Washing Machine under Random Load with Gauss DistributionJie Gong, Yun-Fei Fu, Wen Xia et al.The purpose of this study is to present a new method for estimating the fatigue life of the screw blade in the screw sand washing machine. To ensure the accuracy of numerical simulation, the loading area and the value of load are determined by means of the theoretical analysis. To ascertain the location of the stress peak and stress range, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2016 · 8,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Modeling Framework for Highway Traffic Pollution Estimation and DispersionShu Yang, Yao-Jan Wu, John WoolschlagerAir quality is of great concern to the public. Airborne pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and Particulate Matter (PM), negatively impact people’s living conditions. In particular, vehicular exhaust is a major source of these pollutants. Extensive previous research has contributed to modeling traffic pollutant emission. Popular approaches include computational simulation-based methods, which have been dominant in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 13 May 2016 · 7,434 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 abstractAdvantages of Utilizing Geotextiles in Fixing Sandy Soils and Increasing Shear Strength in Water Conveyance TrenchesAlireza Mardookhpour, Leila OoshaksaraieWith the increasing demand in water supply and either for generation or for irrigation and human consumption, water conveyance structures must guarantee a maximum efficiency at the lowest construction and maintenance costs. Using thin geotextiles allow very low permeability and very high transmissivity. Conclusion/Recommendations: The system constructs a continues, low roughness on the entire section of canal. In this research … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2012 · 13,184 accessesView PDFCite
