Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEstimate of Aerosol Optical Depth Using Broadband Direct Normal Observations at Highest Polluted Area in the WorldU. Ali Rahoma, A. H. HassanProblem statement: The measurement of different components of direct solar radiation for this research has been carried out in Helwan, Egypt. Helwan (Latitude 29°52 N, Longitude 31°20 E). This is a considered as the largest polluted region in the world. The level of pollution in Helwan region is higher, compared to the international limit by about 7 or 10 times … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,069 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAutomated 3D Particle Field Extraction and Tracking System Using Digital in-line HolographyHesham EldeebDigital holography for 3D particle field extraction and tracking is an active research topic. It has a great application in realizing characterization of micro-scale structures in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with high resolution and accuracy. In-line configuration is studied in this study as the fundamental structure of a digital holography system. Digital holographic approach, not only eliminates wet chemical processing and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 6,536 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTHE ADVERSE EFFECT OF STEEL PARTICLE CONTAMINANTS ON FATIGUE LIFE OF GREASE LUBRICATED BALL BEARINGSA. Stathis, Th. Costopoulos, D. Koulocheris, K. RaptisThe rating life of ball bearings is reduced when hard particle contaminants are present in the lubricant. Usually, this life reduction is taken into account in the calculation of modified rating life by using the contamination factor through a general characterization of the lubrication conditions. However, the impact of contaminant’s variables such as size, hardness and concentration level has to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2014 · 6,991 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordExperimental Study of Load Sharing in Roller-Bearing Contact by Caustics and PhotoelasticityKonstandinos G. Raptis, George A. Papadopoulos, Theodore N. Costopoulos, Andonios D. TsolakisProblem statement: In this study a comprehensive methodology for calculating load sharing in Roller-bearing contact was presented based on the experimental stress-optical method of caustics and Photoelasticity. Approach: The theoretical equations describing the geometry of transmitted caustic in relation to the length of the contact zone were derived and a simple mathematical set of equations correlating the maximum diameter of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 8,397 accessesView PDF Cite
