Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree Dimensional Investigation of Mode I Stress Intensity Factor Variations in Crack Front Using Finite Element MethodM. M. MirsayarOverall failure may occur in many engineering structures due to the initiation and growth of cracks. Stress intensity factors are extensively used to investigate crack growth in Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM). In many cracked specimens, the stress singularity varies through the thickness and therefore, investigation of stress intensity factor variation in crack front and determination of its maximum value … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,331 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTOCHASTIC REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF A STANDBY SYSTEMMohammed A. HajeehMechanical systems deteriorate over time and do not perform according to their intended functions and eventually fail due to the failure of one or more their components or units. Failed components are either repaired or replaced depending of several factors such as cost, criticality, or reliability. Repair is perfect, minimal, or imperfect. This study assesses the performance of a standby … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 9 Oct 2014 · 6,570 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVING FAULT TOLERANT RESOURCE OPTIMIZED AWARE JOB SCHEDULING FOR GRID COMPUTINGK. Nirmala Devi, A. TamilarasiWorkflow brokers of existing Grid Scheduling Systems are lack of cooperation mechanism which causes inefficient schedules of application distributed resources and it also worsens the utilization of various resources including network bandwidth and computational cycles. Furthermore considering the literature, all of these existing brokering systems primarily evolved around models of centralized hierarchical or client/server. In such models, vital responsibility such … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 4 Jan 2014 · 6,896 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE MANAGEMENT OF UNCERTAINTY: MODEL FOR EVALUATION OF HUMAN ERROR PROBABILITY IN RAILWAY SYSTEMLombardi Mara, Guarascio Massimo, Rossi GiulianoThe methodology of quantitative risk assessment in use in the railway industry refers the RAMS approach, as expected in EN 50126, to define the failure of the system. From the probability of failure follows the evaluation of the failure consequence, the check of the accident occurrence and finally, the analysis of the achievable accident scenarios to quantify the damage as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 30 Dec 2013 · 7,390 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXPERT CAR FAILURE DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM WITH BAYESIAN APPROACHWidodo BudihartoIn this study we propose a model of an Expert System to diagnose a car failure and malfunction using Bayesian Approach. An expert car failure diagnosis system is a computer system that uses specific knowledge which is owned by an expert to resolve car problems. Our specific system consists of knowledge base and solution to diagnose failure of car from … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 5 Sep 2013 · 7,289 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractECONOMIC AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF STOCHASTIC MODEL ON A BASE TRANSCEIVER SYSTEM CONSIDERING VARIOUS OPERATIONAL MODES AND CATASTROPHIC FAILURESRajeev Kumar, Sunny KapoorIn this study a stochastic model for a Base Transceiver System (BTS) is proposed that consists of various hardware and software components. A Base Transceiver System (BTS) may undergoes four modes during its operation viz normal, congestion, down and failure mode. The hardware and software components may have various types of major and minor faults. The occurrence of a minor … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 22 Jul 2013 · 7,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Swimmer Bars as Shear Reinforcement in Reinforced Concrete BeamMoayyad Al-Nasra, Naem Asha, Abdelqader Najmi, Taher Abu-LebdehThe behavior of reinforced concrete beams at failure by shear is distinctly different from their behavior by bending, which is considered to be unsafe mode of failure. The shear failure of beams is usually sudden without sufficient advanced warning and the diagonal cracks that develop due to excess shear forces are considerably wider than the flexural cracks. The cost and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2013 · 8,134 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fault Tolerant Resource Allocation Architecture for Mobile GridS. Thenmozhi, A. Tamilarasi, P. T. VanathiProblem statement: In order to achieve high level of reliability and availability, the grid infrastructure should be fault tolerant. Since the failure of resources affects job execution fatally, fault tolerance service is essential to satisfy QoS requirement in grid computing with respect to mobile nodes. Approach: We propose a fault tolerant technique for improving reliability in mobile grid environment considering … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 7 Apr 2012 · 7,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Common Maintenance Methods for Flexible PavementsAsma T. Ibraheem, Suda M. GaniProblem statement: With the increasing use and awareness of pavement management systems and the growing emphasis on asset management of pavement infrastructure, it is important to strengthen the maintenance components of these systems and particularly the preventive maintenance component. Iraqi Roads don’t receive an effective and proper maintenance during their service life until they reach the state of major failure … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2011 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
