Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Surface Treatment on Fatigue Life of Cylinder Block for Linear Engine using Frequency Response ApproachM. M. Rahman, A. K. Ariffin, S. Abdullah et al.Objectives: This study was focused on the finite element techniques to investigate the effect of surface treatment on the fatigue life of the vibrating cylinder block for new two-stroke free piston engine using random loading conditions. Motivation: An understanding of the effects related to the random loading is necessary to improve the ability of designers to accurately predict the fatigue … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 8,142 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Spot Diameter and Sheets Thickness on Fatigue Life of Spot Welded Structure based on FEA ApproachM. M. Rahman, A. B. Rosli, M. M. Noor et al.This study presents the effect of the spot weld and sheets thickness on the fatigue life of the of the spot-weld joints to predict the lifetime and location of the weakest spot-welds due to the variable amplitude loading conditions. A simple model was used to illustrate the technique of spot-weld fatigue analysis. Finite element model and analysis were carried out … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,867 accessesView PDFCite

There exists competition between insurance companies as well as between different products of the same company. In this article we describe a study using data that we collected from clients of a Romanian insurance company. We have observed two types of variables: attributes of the insurance products (e.g., profitability, risk), as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Study of Models of Life Quality Development of Isan Marginal Communities as Affected by Installation of the Solar Home SystemPongsil Simvised, Songkoon Chantachon, Sampan RittidechProblem Statement: The electricity production system by using solar home cells is regarded as a substitute for energy which the state provides for the marginal communities because the area cannot be extended for putting up pylons with electric cables, all this for the marginal communities to have better life and being. The purposes of this thesis were to examine the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVase Life Extension and Chlorophyll Fluorescence Yield of Bougainvillea Flower as Influenced by Ethanol to Attain Maximum Environmental Beautification as Ornamental ComponentsA.B.M. Sharif Hossain, Amru Nasrulhaq Boyce, Haji Mohamed A. MajidThe study was conducted to investigate the effect of ethanol at different concentrations (ET) on bougainvillea flower longevity and delay senescence in storage condition. The treatments were water control, 2, 4, 8, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70% ET. Flower longevity was 2 days more in 4, 8 and 10% ethanol than water control and other concentrations of ethanol. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
