Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBuilding Design Rule for Glass Structures by Persian CurveAbdolrasoul Ranjbaran, Mohammad Ranjbaran, Fatema RanjbaranGlass is being increasingly used as a structural material. Its favorable aesthetic qualities have made it popular with modern designers. Recently glass is used for major structural elements such as beams and columns in modern and innovative architectural applications. High slenderness ratios and brittle behavior in tension contribute to the complexity of stability and ultimate strength analysis of glass structures. … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 16 Jan 2021 · 8,408 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNonlinear Analysis of RC Box Culverts Resting on a Linear Elastic SoilDaniele Baraldi, Fabio Minghini, Enrico Tezzon, Nerio TulliniIn the analyses presented, the soil-structure interaction is accounted for by means of a FE-BIE approach, in which the structure is modelled with displacement-based beam finite elements, whereas the boundary between structure and substrate is described in terms of surface tractions by means of a boundary integral equation incorporating a suitable Green's function. This mixed formulation ensures full continuity between … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2018 · 12,632 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSome Aspects of the Structure of Planar MechanismsRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.The machine is a technical system made up of distinct kinematic component parts (called kinematic elements) which, following the imprinting of movements imposed on an element or elements (considered as leading elements), cause movements to all other kinematic elements in order to execute a useful mechanical thing, or transforming some form of energy into mechanical energy. It follows from the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2018 · 8,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFinite Element Analysis of Large Capacity Endplate Steel ConnectionsMohamed Eldemerdash, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Moayyad Al NasraProblem statement: Extended endplate connection is one of the most widely used beam-to column steel connections because of its fabrication simplicity, good overall performance and cost effectiveness compared with other connection types. The objective of this research is to develop three-dimensional finite element models to study the behavior of large capacity eight-bolt extended un-stiffened wide endplate steel connections, using current-technology … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Jan 2012 · 6,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessment of Camel Meat Pollution with Trace Metals in Desert Area of Basra ProvinceSarmad G. Mohammed, Hassan T. Abdulsahib, Ibrahim M. Jasim, Mushtak T. JabbarProblem statement: This study investigates the possibility of the camel meat pollution in south of Basra province (Iraq). Trace elements concentrations (Mg, Fe, Pb and Hg) were determined from different tissues of camel (neck, shoulder, plate, leg and loin) from two location in Basra governorate, Safwan and Al-Zubair. Approach: The study focused on the assessment of camel meat pollution on … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 27 Oct 2011 · 8,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsArtificial Neural Network Based Model for Forecasting Sugar Cane ProductionO. O. Obe, D. K. ShangodoyinProblem statement: The global need for alternative energy source has necessitated the exploration of vast organic agricultural products with a view of processing them for the production of ethanol in commercial quantity. To ascertain a sustainable production of ethanol from processed sugar cane, a predictive model based on non-linearity nature of its production is imperative. This is due to unavailability … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,268 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Eclipsing X-Ray Binary System Centaurus X-3Omar Al-BanawiProblem statement: We present new physical and geometrical elements for the eclipsing X-ray binary system Krzemenski's star (Centaurus X-3). Approach: In this study, the procedure depended on getting the best fit between the observational photometric light curves and synthetic ones built up in accordance to the Roche model. Results: The estimated elements showed a good agreement with the early estimated … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,560 accessesView PDFCite
