Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNanomodified Adhesive Composition for Aeronautical Structures Based on Polymer Composite MaterialsVladimir Dmitrievich Vermel, Sergei Anatol’evich Titov, Yuriy Vital’evich Kornev et al.Computer simulation of the properties of Nanomodified Adhesive Compositions (NMC) based on ED-20 epoxide resin doped with carbon nanomaterials was carried out. It is shown that open carbon nanotubes are an efficient additive to increase mechanical shearing properties of adhesive compositions based on epoxide matrix. Using the nanoindentation method it was found that introduction of carbon nanotubes into adhesive compositions … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 14 Mar 2016 · 7,295 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDegradation of Power Generation Performance due to Effects of Various Ice Shapes and Accretions on Wind Turbine BladesAditya Bagade, Changki Mo, Abdelhamid MazherIn today’s world, green energy has become a key initiative as an alternative energy resource. Wind turbines are widely used to harvest wind energy in seasonal and cold environments. Although efficient, cold weather conditions negatively affects wind turbine operations due to ice formation. Damage from icing is seen on blade-tips when super-cooled water droplets that form in colder environments rapidly … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 11 Sep 2015 · 7,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross-Section Optimization of Sandwich-Type Cylindrical Wind Turbine TowersStylianos M. Vernardos, Charis J. GantesAs wind energy is aggressively expanding within the alternative sources' part of modern world's energy pie, the need of addressing various obstacles that limit further wind utilization becomes all the more urgent. From a structural engineering point of view, surmounting the tower-base diameter limitation, dictated by the current transportation capabilities, is one of the industry's primary issues. The concept presented … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Numerical Approach for Evaluating the Convergence-Confinement Curve of a Rock Tunnel Considering Hoek-Brown Strength CriterionPierpaolo OresteThe convergence-confinement method is frequently used for the analysis of the behavior of a tunnel and to define the support structures necessary to guarantee its stability. The reasons why it is used extensively, at least in the preliminary study phases of a tunnel are: The fundamental parameters of the problem (the diameter and depth of the tunnel, as well as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 14 Jan 2015 · 6,642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMATERIAL PARAMETER OF RUBBER GLOVE VULCANIZED USING COMBINED INFRARED AND HOT-AIR HEATINGTipapon Khamdaeng, Numpon Panyoyai, Thanasit WongsiriamnuayVulcanization is an important chemical-thermal process in production of rubber products resulting in change of material properties, increased elasticity and strength. In general, Young’s modulus is used as an indicator of elastic deformation at loading configuration. However, rubber is not truly elastic and a single parameter is insufficient to describe the whole deformation contributed by microstructure of rubber network. Therefore, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2014 · 7,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simple Algorithm to Assess the Speed Stability of Induction GeneratorsAlexandre de Assis Mota, Lia Toledo Moreira MotaProblem statement: The speed stability if Induction Generators (IG) can be defined as its ability to remain connected to the electric network, operating at a mechanical speed close to the speed associated to the actual system frequency, after being subjected to a perturbation. This IG behavior is normally studied using dynamical methods that are determined through time-consuming simulations and are … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 6,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVoltage Sag Effects on the Process Continuity of a Refinery with Induction Motors LoadsTarek I. ElShennawy, Mahmoud A. El-Gammal, Amr Y. Abou-GhazalaProblem statement: Process continuity of industrial plants (like a refinery) is subjected to several shutdowns due to voltage sags causing large induction motors to trip, either by undervoltage or by overcurrent relays, sometimes by the mechanical protection. These unplanned shutdowns cost the plant tens of thousands of dollars per shutdown in addition to material damage costs, restart charges and any … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,120 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Biomechanical Composite Model to Determine Effective Elastic Moduli of the CNS Gray MatterMehdi Khoshgoftar, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Farmanzad et al.Brain tissue is a heterogeneous material with complicated microstructural features. Models based on microstructure can lead to more accurate and physically realistic predictions of mechanical characteristics of brain tissue. A two-step Mori-Tanaka/Voigt homogenization procedure is implemented into a 3D microstructurally-based multi-phase composite model, composed of randomly-oriented elastic axons, dendrites and neuronal cell bodies surrounded by an elastic matrix. The effects … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTribochemical Performance of Cell-treated Nickel MatrixBing Shi, Thomas B. Kuhn, Hong Liang, Lawrence K. DuffyNickel (Ni) has been studied as a biomaterial for a long time because of the unique mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. In this study, the frictional properties and wettability of Ni under dry and lubricated conditions, including cell treatment, were compared in order to investigate its tribological performance under conditions similar to that in a human body. The wettability was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Computational Investigation into the Effect of Equal Channel Angular Processing on the Mechanical Properties of Severely Deformed ZK 60 Alloy Validated by ExperimentsOmar Almenaif, Yaqoub Alhumaydani, Mohammed Alnafisah et al.In this study, the response surface method and finite-element analysis were employed to model the ECAP processing for biodegradable magnesium alloy ZK 60 behavior at 250°C. Using Finite-Element (FE) analysis data was extracted and compared to the what was found by experimenting in order to investigate the effects of the ECAP processing parameters on the plastic deformation behavior of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 9 Jun 2020 · 7,238 accessesView PDFCite
