Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Defects in Composite Materials Using an Improved Wavelet Analysis AlgorithmYahiaoui Aicha, Si-Chaib Med, O.A. ChellilProblem statement: The present work carries on the use of a method based on the wavelet transform to detect internal flaws of composite materials. The objective of this work consists in working out a data processing sequence of an ultrasonic signal identifying nearly flaws in composite laminate materials and estimating their position. Approach: The use of a numerical signal processing … …Physics International, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 12 Mar 2012 · 8,170 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGross Anatomy of the Stomach of the Oryx dammah (Cretzschmar, 1826)William Perez, Hassen JerbiProblem statement: The Oryx antelope is a grazing ruminant of the Bovidae family. The macroscopic anatomy of the stomach in one adult Oryx dammah, an extinct species in the wild, was described. Approach: The stomach of the Oryx was composed of the four classic compartments of the ruminants. The weight of all the full stomach was 21.5 kg. The ruminal … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Feb 2012 · 9,059 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDamage Pattern and Nesting Characteristic of Coptotermes curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Oil Palm on PeatWei-Hong Lau, Choon-Fah J. Bong, Seow-Phan ChanThe oil palm industry of Malaysia has expanded into peat area in Sarawak. Problem statement: The subterranean termite Coptotermes curvignathus was a serious pest of oil palm on peat. Control of this termite has resorted to heavy usage of chemicals which was deemed uneconomical and hostile to the environment. Baiting system has inconsistent success due to the limited knowledge of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 8,666 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimple Improvement of Momentum Interpolation Equation for Navier-Stoke Equation Solver on Unstructured GridAdek TasriProblem statement: Pressure and velocity decoupling have been source of problem in solving Navier-Stokes and continuity equation particularly in complex collocated grid. The problem of pressure velocity decoupling is usually reduced by using momentum interpolation to calculate mass flux at face of control volume. Equation of momentum interpolation was derived by assumption that the face of cell is equidistant from … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,861 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimilarity Solutions for Free Convection Between Two Parallel Porous Walls at Different TemperaturesA. J. Omowaye, O. K. KorikoProblem statement: A two dimensional steady laminar free convective flow of viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel porous walls is considered. Approach: Using the similarity variable, the partial differential equations were reduced to ordinary differential equations. The coupled ordinary differential equations were solved numerically using shooting method. The effect of various physical parameters, such as the Prandtl number, Grashof number, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,786 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of the Cuttings Cleaning During the Drilling OperationHussain H. Al-Kayiem, Nadia Mohd Zaki, Muhamad Z. Asyraf, Mahir Elya ElfeelProblem statement: Oil well cleaning is the ability of a drilling fluid to suspend and transport drilled cuttings from the down hole (bit face) to the surface. The cleaning performance was affected by many factors such as fluid viscosity, annular flow velocity, angle of inclination and drill cuttings size and shape and. Approach: Navier-Stoke equations, the continuity equation and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombined Thermal Radiation and Mixed Convection in an Inclined Circular DuctW. Lakhal, S. Trabelsi, E. Sediki, M. MoussaProblem statement: Modeling thermal radiation with simultaneous buoyancy and forced convection for real gases flowing inside system with complex geometry is a difficult task encountered in engineering applications. Purpose of this study was to research numerically the interaction of mixed convection and thermal radiation in laminar air flow inside an inclined cylindrical duct with Uniform Wall Heat Flux (UWHF). This … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,297 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Constitutive Model for Multi-Line Simulation of Granular Material Behavior Using Multi-Plane PatternS. A. Sadrnejad, A. Saedi Daryan, M. ZiaeiProblem statement: Improper understanding of material behavior prevents the efficient and correct usage of available materials and consequently, increases the construction and maintenance costs and even unsuitable construction. Considering the necessity of exact investigation about material behavior, several researches have been carried out in this field but the majority of these researches did not propose a general method for prediction … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,668 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolute or Heat Transport in a Flat DuctElijah Johnson, Ayaovi D. Apeti, Sekeenia Haynes, Larry RobinsonSteady state solute and heat transfer for laminar flow in a flat duct has been widely studied[1-4]. The same problem in a circular tube is called the Graetz Problem[5,6]. The transfer rate of solute and heat from fluids is of importance in a number of processes, such as diffusion of drugs in the blood stream and the uptake of environmental … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,395 accessesView PDFCite
