Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVerification of Anchoring in Foundations of Wind Turbine TowersNafsika Stavridou, Evangelos Efthymiou, Charalampos C. BaniotopoulosTubular steel towers are the most common supporting structure of wind converters. The towers’ foundation covers an important part of the initial cost and its configuration depends heavily on the type of subsoil. Onshore structures are founded on spread footing foundations or pile foundations with the first being the commonest. In these spread footing foundations, the tower is either embedded … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2015 · 8,394 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Heat-Treated Steel and Related ApplicationsShu-Ping Chang, Ming-Chen Chen, Jyh-Dong LinNumerous studies conducted after the 921 earthquake in Taiwan in 1999 have reported that because heat-treated steel features relatively unstable mechanics properties, using such steel in welding, bar splicing, or as thread-cutting components in structures may result in lack of resistance to seismic activity. However, nondestructive testing methods that can be used to identify the type of steel delivered to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2015 · 7,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWelded Connections of Wind Turbine Towers under Fatigue Loading: Finite Element Analysis and Comparative StudyNafsika Stavridou, Evangelos Efthymiou, Charalampos C. BaniotopoulosIncreased contemporary energy needs have led to multiple investments on wind power plants and structural improvements are considered necessary for the construction of taller, more robust and more economical structures. Tubular steel wind turbine towers that are the prevailing structural configuration, demand welding of circular subparts to construct the tower structure. These circumferential welds between tower subparts and between the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Aug 2015 · 8,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatic and Dynamic Performance Improvement of Conventional Computer Numerical Control Machine Tool Bed with Hybrid Welded SteelS.S. Abuthakeer, P.V. Mohanram, G. MohankumarProblem statement: The advancements in machine tools to maximize the production by increasing spindle speeds have caused vibration in machine tools. The two functional requirements of machine tool bed for machine tools are high structural stiffness and high damping, which cannot be satisfied simultaneously if conventional metallic materials such as cast iron are employed. Hence there is a need to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 11,479 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beam Strengthened by Transverse External Post-tensionSayan Sirimontree, Boonsap Witchayangkoon, Nathavudh Khaosri, Jaruek TeerawongProblem statement: Shear failure of concrete beam is brittle manner without warning so inadequate design for shear of beam and/or material deterioration lead to the possibility of sudden failure of beam. The change of functional use and future increased load of structure lead to the need for strengthening of concrete structure. Approach: This research focuses on behaviors under static loading … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 8,863 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElastic-Plastic Non Linear Behaviors of Suddenly Loaded StructuresAssal Tehseen HusseinProblem statement: The adaptively shifted integration technique was applied to the elasticplastic analysis of framed structures under dynamic loading. Approach: This study used analysis of linear beam element, the reshifting of the of the integration points in the element is conducted in order to attain higher accuracy. Results: In nonlinear finite element analysis by the ASI technique, the highest computational … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 8,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Foam Density on Specific Energy Absorption of Rectangular Steel TubesNirut Onsalung, Chawalit Thinvongpituk, Kulachate PainthongProblem statement: In general, the automotive structure is targeted to absorb high impact energy with least mass as much as possible. This is in order to limit the fuel consumption. Therefore, various techniques to increase the energy absorption with less mass increment have been studied for years. One of those techniques is by filling foam in the tube. This study … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeismic Response Evaluation of Moment Resistant Frame with Built-Up Column SectionMohammad Ebrahimi, Hesam Sharifian, Mohammad AhangarProblem statement: Moment Resisting Frame (MRF) is widely used as lateral resisting systems when sufficient ductility and deformability are to be met. Response of these structures is strictly dependent upon behavior of their joints, whereas the analysis of steel moment resisting frames generally has been performed without considering the accurate connection behavior. Approach: In this study Finite Element (FE) models … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,279 accessesView PDFCite
