EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetri Nets and Ladder Logic for Fully-Automating and Programmable Logic Control of Semi-Automatic Machines and SystemsMahmoud A. Barghash, Osama M. Abuzeid, Anas N. Al-Rabadi, Ahmad M. JaradatProblem statement: Automating semi-automatic dynamic machines and complex systems, where some functionalities are already automated but the machine doesn’t run fully in automatic mode, represents another challenge to automating dynamic and manual complex systems. This study deals with a special case of this general problem, where the system’s semi-automatic and automatic functionalities run separately in a sequence with either automatic … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 8,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Mechanical Characteristics of Inverter-induction Motor Drive SystemHussein Sarhan, Rateb IssaAn inverter-three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor drive system with improved mechanical characteristics is presented. The proposed system provides mechanical characteristics with constant maximum torque or increased maximum torque and reduced slip speed at frequencies below the nominal frequency. The control algorithm is based on the constant volts per hertz principle using two improvement techniques: keeping maximum torque constant or keeping magnetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 7,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcrylic Rubber Latex in Ferrocement for Strengthening Reinforced Concrete BeamsD. Raj Kumar, B. VidivelliProblem statement: In India, the early deterioration of reinforced concrete structures has become a big social problem in recent years. An essential research is needed for the development of effective repair materials and their execution systems comes to an important issue from the viewpoint of the longevity of infrastructures at present. Ferrocement laminates are introduced to enhance the overall performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,857 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractVolume 4: Face-to-Face with SGAMR-2020 AwardeesChiara Bedon, Mario D’Aniello, Flavio Stochino…New Year and new results for the SGAMR community!!

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSwitching from Flat to Spatial Motion to 3R Mechatronic SystemsRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe anthropomorphic robots are part of the classical series of mechatronic systems, being in the form of arms and having at least three space rotation, to which other components may eventually be added, thus lengthening the entire kinematic chain. You can also add all the planetary or spatial rotating arms or others that are translating. At the end we always … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 7,434 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomechanically Inspired Machines, Driven by Muscle Like Acting NiTi AlloysAntonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe Shape of the Memory Alloy (SMA) is a very promising class of metallic materials with interesting non-linear properties such as Pseudo-Elasticity (PE), memory (MEM) and damping capacity due to high mechanical hysteresis and internal friction. Research shows a bioinventory approach to Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) design, a class of intelligent materials capable of reacting to a pulse (thermal for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 23 May 2018 · 8,288 accessesView PDFCite
