Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview on the use of FRP Composites for Facades and Building SkinsChiara BedonFiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites represent a class of materials typically able to offer excellent mechanical, thermal and insulation properties, taking advantage of a combination of their constitutive fibers and polymers. Due to their intrinsic lightweight properties, FRP composites are in use for aerospace, automotive, marine industries and ballistic armor since several decades. Only in a subsequent phase, i.e. since … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2016 · 9,219 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractPolyethylene Pipeline Bending Stresses at an InstallationAnatoly Serebrennikov, Daniil Serebrennikov, Zufar HakimovA polyethylene pipeline trenchless installation with special machines is one of methods of gas pipeline constructions between localities. A polyethylene pipeline is exposed to a short term bend and a significant deformation during an installation. The methods and research results of the polyethylene pipeline ability at the short term bending are presented below. The mathematical model has been created. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 27 Apr 2016 · 7,938 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearch of the Process of Shaping Folded Filler of Sandwich Panels from CardboardIl'dus Zakirov, Alexandr Nikitin, Alexandr Naumov, Nargiz FaizullinaSandwich panels with the corrugated filler made of composite cardboard are used in building constructions, road sound dampening screens, etc. Taking into account that in industries applying sandwich panels, the demand for such filler is relatively high, the competitiveness of the product must be at a high level. This requires developing a high-performance industrial technology to produce it. These production … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 24 Nov 2015 · 6,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSOUND AND VIBRATION CONSIDERATIONS OF SOME MATERIALS FOR AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING APPLICATIONSMohammad Al-Zubi, Emmanuel Ayorinde, Nabeel Alshabatat et al.Vibration and noise amelioration in and across several components and modules of the automotive, such as the panels, doors, engine covers, seats and others, is extremely important. NVH performance has been recognized as a critical factor in the purchase decisions of many buyers. This study examines the vibro-acoustic characteristics of some monolithic and composite materials and some generally periodic material … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 2 Dec 2014 · 6,485 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConditioned Slicing for Efficient Multiway Decision Graphs Model-CheckerSaad ElmansoriIntegrating formal verification techniques into the hardware design process provides the means to rigorously prove critical properties. However, most automatic verification techniques, such as model checking, are only effectively applicable to designs of limited sizes due to the state explosion problem. The Multiway Decision Graphs (MDG) method is an efficient method to define hardware designs into more abstract environments; however, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 23 Apr 2013 · 6,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTeachers View on Social and Emotional Aspect of Pedagogical CompetenceInga Belousa, Skaidrite UzulinaProblem statement: Bologna process challenges European higher education area by comparability and compatibility of several issues including educators’ professional competence. However, through their educational philosophy and activity educators have discovered and shaped their own sense and meaning of pedagogical competence. During the time when teacher professional standard has been reexamined nationally, teachers’ voice in Latvia is still poorly considered. Therefore, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 Feb 2012 · 8,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability Assessment of Buckling Strength for Compressed Cylindrical Shells with Interacting Localized Geometric ImperfectionsJalal El Bahaoui, Abdellatif Khamlichi, Larbi El Bakkali, Ali LimamProblem statement: Elastic cylindrical shells are common structures in the fields of civil engineering and engineering mechanics. These thin-walled constructions may undergo buckling when subjected to axial compression. Buckling limits to large extent their strength performance. This phenomenon depends hugely on the initial distributed or localized geometric imperfections that are present on the shell structure. Localized geometric imperfections result in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2010 · 8,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFemtotechnology: Nuclear Matter with Fantastic PropertiesA. A. BolonkinProblem statement: At present the term 'nanotechnology' is well known-in its' ideal form, the flawless and completely controlled design of conventional molecular matter from molecules or atoms. Such a power over nature would offer routine achievement of remarkable properties in conventional matter and creation of metamaterials where the structure not the composition brings forth new powers of matter.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Nonlinearity Under Cyclic Loading In Neutron FlowAtwa D. Zeyad, E.I. StarovoitovThe influence of neutron irradiation on the nonlinear elastoplastic deformation of the constructions components under cyclic force disturbance was investigated. The formula of irradiation reinforcement was suggested depending on the experimental data, and the theorem of variable loading was proved. The problem of metal-polymeric sandwich beam was solved numerically. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,776 accessesView PDFCite
