Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Quality of Transport and Environmental Protection, Part IRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Aversa Raffaella, Samuel Kozaitis et al.The today main challenge to protect the environment through the development of new and more efficient transportation systems is presented. The absolutely necessary goods distribution and human transfers are polluting and damaging the environment and new solution should be envisaged; the conflicting strategies to adopt new types of environment friendly transportation while maintaining operative the more economically convenient, but largely … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 8 Sep 2017 · 7,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Anthropomorphic Gripping Manipulator: The Analysis of Implementation MethodsIvan Vladimirovich Krechetov, Arkady Alekseevich Skvortsov, Pavel Sergeevich LavrikovThe object of the article is the study of implementation methods for the development of hardware-software engineering solutions in the field of the creation of a universal anthropomorphic gripper. Such technical solutions are intended to enable the adaptation and extensive use of advanced robotic systems in the natural environmental conditions formed by people through equipping them with anthropomorphic universal grippers … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 11 · 17 Nov 2015 · 6,746 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUncertainty Impact of the Effective Diffusion Coefficient on the Concrete Chemical DegradationA. BadaouiReinforced concrete is the construction material widely used in civil engineering. However, knowledge of its long-term performance and the uncertain impact of the environment on his behaviour make it difficult to accurate assessment of the durability of structures with time. When a structure is put into service, it is likely to damage, which origin can be physical, mechanical or chemical. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 7,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEPENDABILITY ATTRIBUTES FOR INCREASED SECURITY IN COMPONENT-BASED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENTHasan Kahtan, Nordin Abu Bakar, Rosmawati NordinExisting software applications become increasingly distributed as their continuity and lifetimes are lengthened; consequently, the users’ dependence on these applications is increased. The security of these applications has become a primary concern in their design, construction and evolution. Thus, these applications give rise to major concerns on the capability of the current development approach to develop secure systems. Component-Based Software … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2014 · 7,797 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF TEST PROTOCOLS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF MAGNETO-RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF FIELD-RESPONSIVE BITUMINOUS BINDERSEzio Santagata, Orazio Baglieri, Lucia Tsantilis, Arianna VercelliMagneto-rheological fluids are materials that exhibit a significant change in their rheological properties in the presence of a magnetic field. Because of such a field-dependent behavior, they can act as smart materials in applications in which changeable performances are desired. In road pavement engineering, the use of bitumen-based magneto-rheological fluids may open innovative scenarios related to the construction of smart … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 20 Jan 2014 · 6,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDOWNHOLE SEISMIC REFRACTION SURVEY OF WEATHERED LAYER CHARACTERISTICS IN ESCRAVOS, NIGERIAOchuko AnomohanranThe problem of datum correction in seismic surveys and the failures associated with civil engineering structures with specific reference to roads and buildings has been attributed to lack of understanding of the soil structure among others. This is why this survey on downhole seismic refraction was conducted from nine borehole locations in Escravos, Nigeria to determine the weathered layer characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 30 Dec 2013 · 7,738 accessesView PDFCite
