Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Convergence-Confinement Method: Roles and Limits in Modern Geomechanical Tunnel DesignPierpaolo OresteThe convergence-confinement method, based on the analysis of the stress and strain state that develops in the rock around a circular tunnel, has been presented in this study with the two analytical solutions that have been most frequently used in recent years. Problem statement: Thanks to the increased power of electronic processors and the spread of numerical methods, the role … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 10,160 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractBending Stress and Deflection Analysis of Meshing Spur Gear Tooth during the Single Tooth Contact with Finite Element Method and Determination of the Bending StiffnessAntonios D. Tsolakis, Konstantinos G. Raptis, Maria D. MargaritouPurpose of this study is the study of loading and contact problems encountered at rotating machine elements and especially at tooth gears. Tooth gears are some of the most commonly used mechanical components for rotary motion and power transmission. This fact proves the necessity for improved reliability and enhanced service life, which requires precise and clear knowledge of the stress … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2017 · 7,648 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Optimization of a Porous Ti6Al4V Bone Construct Using Additive ManufacturingJeffrey Wilk, Glenn Sanders, Shelby Marks et al.Patient specific implants are becoming viable treatment options in some orthopaedic applications through advances in additive manufacturing and 3D printing techniques. One potential application is for treatment of segmental bone defects, particularly in patients suffering from bone cancer. Current treatment options are: Amputation, megaprosthesis, or allografts. These treatments are often highly invasive, may require a partial/full joint replacement and are … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2017 · 7,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreliminary Design of a Power Transmission Shaft under Fatigue Loading Using ASME CodeStephen K. ArmahPower transmission shafting is a vital element of all rotating machinery. A complete shaft design involves many iterative phases and fundamental to this is the determination of preliminary dimensions of the shaft. This paper presents a comprehensive fatigue analysis approach of determining the initial dimensions of a power transmission shaft under fatigue loading based on American Society of Mechanical Engineers … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2018 · 15,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINTEGRATION OF POKA YOKE INTO PROCESS FAILURE MODE AND EFFECT ANALYSIS: A CASE STUDYA. P. Puvanasvaran, N. Jamibollah, N. NorazlinThe Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a one of the requirements which was required by the Automotive Industries Action Group (AIAG) to all the automotive suppliers and manufacturers worldwide through the TS16949 Quality System. There were a lot of dicrepencies detected on implementing the FMEA which directly related to the user experinces and knowledge. The descrepencies cause the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 24 May 2014 · 13,244 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLead Free Solder Joint Thermal Condition in Semiconductor PackagingM. Najib Harif, Allina Nadzri, Kamaruzaman JusoffProblem statement: Solder joints are responsible for both electrical and mechanical connections. Solder does not have adequate ductility to ensure the repeated relative displacements due to the mismatch between expansion coefficients of the chip carrier and the circuit board. Solder material plays a crucial role to provide the necessary electrical and mechanical interconnections in an electronic assembly. Finding a technique … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,165 accessesView PDFCite
