Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-g Area-changed MEMS Accelerometer Using Bulk Silicon TechniqueBadariah Bais, Burhanuddin Yeop MajlisA bulk micromachined accelerometer based on an area variation capacitive sensing for low-g applications was developed. The accelerometer was designed with ribbed-style fingers structure on the movable mass connected in parallel and suspended over stationary electrodes composed of differential comb fingers by means of suspension beams anchored onto the substrate. A folded, rigid truss suspension design with low spring constant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Optimization of Composite I Beam Floor SystemUroš Klanšek, Stojan KravanjaThe paper presents the cost optimization of the composite I beam floor system. The composite I beam floor system is designed to be constructed up of a reinforced concrete slab and doubly-symmetrical welded steel I beams. The optimization was performed by the nonlinear programming approach, NLP. An accurate objective function of the manufacturing material, power and labour costs was developed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,435 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBending Moments Distribution at the Main Structural Elements of Skew Deck-Slab and Their Implementation on Cost EffectivenessMaher KakishThe distribution of bending moments in T-beam deck slab varies from one T-beam to another. The design of T-beams should be based on the actual bending moments each beam is subjected to for the purpose of achieving economy especially in bridge deck slab, extended over big area. The saving in some cases is substantial due to reducing the quantities of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Analysis of Forward Expansion Characteristics of Ablated Plasma by Pulsed Ion-Beam Interaction with Al TargetChainarong Buttapeng, Masaru Yazawa, Nobuhiro HaradaThe main objective of the current study was to investigate the behavior of ablation plasma which was produced by irradiating pulsed ion-beam with a solid target of Al thin foil. The technique used here was called a forward expansion---beams irradiation and the ablation plasma expansion are in an opposite direction. A one-dimensional hydrodynamic model was used to simulate the dynamic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFree Vibration Analysis of a Cross-Ply Laminated Composite Beam on Pasternak FoundationR. A. Jafari-Talookolaei, M. T. AhmadianIn this study, free vibration analysis of a cross-ply laminated composite beam (LCB) on Pasternak foundation was investigated. Natural frequencies of beam on Pasternak foundation are computed using finite element method (FEM) on the basis of Timoshenko beam theory. Effect of both shear deformation and rotary inertia are implemented in the modeling of stiffness and mass matrices. The model was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 7,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Study Using FE Code (PLAXIS) on the Geotechnical Behavior of Shell FootingsBujang B.K. Huat, Thamer A. MohammedThis study describes a study on the geotechnical behavior of shell footing using a non-linear finite element analysis with a finite element code, PLAXIS. The shell footing is found to have a better load carrying capacity compared with the conventional slab/flat footing of similar cross sectional area. The FE analysis also showed a reasonably good agreement with the laboratory experimental … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,884 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDemonstration of Optical Phase-conjugation in Methyl Green Dye-doped Thin FilmT. Geethakrishnan, P. K. PalanisamyOptical Phase-Conjugation (OPC) has been observed in Methyl Green (MG) dye sensitized gelatin films in Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing (DFWM) configuration at 633 nm radiation from a He-Ne laser of total power 35 mW. The mechanism of Phase-Conjugate (PC) wave generation associated with this dye-doped system was discussed. The dependence of the PC wave generation on the incident angle between the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuppression of Instabilities and Stochastic Pulsation at Laser-Plasma Interaction by Beam SmoothingFrederick Osman, Heinrich HoraThe key problem of direct drive laser fusion is the appearance of parametric instabilities, stochastic pulsation, self-focusing (filamentation) and other anomalies. During the long years studies, the empirical and intuitively developed methods for smoothing of the laser beam were rather successful but a transparent understanding of the physics has still to be found. The first theory how the instabilities are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 6,796 accessesView PDFCite
