Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNew Approach of Electromagnetic Fields of the Lightning DischargeDib Djalel, Mordjaoui Mourad, Hocine LabarDespite the significant developments in the protection means of electrical and electronic systems against the lightning and its effects. With its unpredictability and aggress if character, the lightning is the most dangerous phenomenon for electrical systems, which requires more interest and greater effort by researchers and designers means of protection. We present in this study a new analytic model of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 18 Jan 2014 · 6,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetermining Road Lighting Impact on Traffic Stream CharacteristicsBen-Edigbe Johnnie, Kurnia Yuli AstridThe study is aimed at estimating road lighting impact on traffic stream characteristics; flow, speed, density and headway for an uninterrupted traffic flow. Volume, speed and headway data were collected during daylight, road lighting and dry weather conditions. Flowrate, speed, density and headways were estimated for daylight and road lighting periods; then compared. Since flowrate, free-flow speed, optimum speed critical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 2 Jul 2013 · 7,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSuperiority of Prostration as a Protection from Lightning StrikeMiah Muhammad AdelProblem statement: Because of the significant fatalities due to lightning strikes in open fields, exploration has been made to find the human body’s most comfortable posture having the lowest length, width and height and the least ground touch in any terrain indoor and outdoor for the safest shelter from lightning strikes that neutralize an enormous amount of positive and negative … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 14 May 2012 · 15,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Magnetic Field Induced by a Lightning Strike's Indirect Effect Double Exponential Current WaveformScott L. Meredith, Susan K. Earles, Ivica N. Kostanic, Niescja E. TurnerProblem statement: Develop a new formula which describes the magnetic field induced by a lightning strike’s indirect effect double exponential current waveform. Approach: A novel approach for developing a closed-form solution for the magnetic field from the indirect effect double exponential current waveform will be presented. In the literature, models typically employ the pulse waveform to derive the corresponding electromagnetic … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Horizontal Electric Field Induced by a Lightning Return StrokeScott L. Meredith, Susan K. Earles, Niescja E. TurnerProblem statement: Develop a new formula which describes the horizontal electric field induced by a lightning return stroke in contact with an imperfect conductive surface. Approach: A new method for describing the horizontal electric field induced by a lightning return stroke will be presented. The method presented here had utilized an approach which purposely downplayed the physics of how image … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,416 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Palm Fiber on the Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Concrete Crushed BrickMahyuddin Ramli, Eethar Thanoon DawoodProblem statement: Researches has been conducted worldwide on a large number of natural or artificial lightweight aggregates. In spite of many of the researches of using natural fibers show considerable promise, the use of natural fibers to improve the properties of lightweight concrete still required to be a subject of further research and investigation. Approach: This experimental investigation was carried … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLightning Over-Voltages on Amman-Aqaba 400 KV LineGhassan Halasa, Ibrahim Badran, Hafez El-ZayyatAn attempt is made to evaluate the lightning over-voltage failure rate for Amman- Aqaba 400kV transmission line by studying the geographical and temporal characteristics of lightning causing the line forced outages. The line was divided into three sections based on weather and pollution conditions. It was found that the line failure rate due to lightning over-voltages is low compared to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,632 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign and Performance of EPS Footing for Lightweight Farm Structure on Peat SoilMohammad Abdullah, Bujang B.K. Huat, Rezuwan Kamaruddin et al.The objective of this research project was to find a potential replacement for the conventional pile foundation principally for peat soil. It is fundamentally meant for lightweight and impermanent agricultural farm structures. Preceding the design and development of the foundation the physical characteristics of the in-situ peat such as; peat depth, soil consolidation, soil compressibility, water table, liquid limit, soil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,239 accessesView PDFCite
