Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Application of Finite Element Modelling to Pneumatic Artificial MuscleR. Ramasamy, M. R. Juhari, M. R. Mamat et al.The purpose of this article was to introduce and to give an overview of the Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs) as a whole and to discuss its numerical modelling, using the Finite Element (FE) Method. Thus, more information to understand on its behaviour in generating force for actuation was obtained. The construction of PAMs was mainly consists of flexible, inflatable membranes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Suction-rainfall Response of a Cut Slope in Unsaturated Residual Soil Using a Field Rain SimulatorBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, S. MariappanThis research describes the design and construction of an artificial rain simulator system and the results obtained with regards to suction-rainfall response of a cut slope in unsaturated residual soil of weathered sandstone of various weathering grades. From the field measurements, the shallow tensiometers are found to record an immediate initial increase in matric suction within the first 20 min … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical Properties of Concrete Including Wood Shavings as Fine AggregatesAshraf A. M. Fadiel, Taher Abu-LebdehResidual and end-life products are a major hazard on the environment. Many researchers have considered waste as partial replacement of some construction materials to reduce their environmental and ecological problems. This kind of practices can be an important option for the protection of the environment. Wood shavings and saw dust are byproduct of the lumber industry. They are made from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2021 · 7,040 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractVolume 3: SGAMR is Always on Track!Chiara Bedon, Mario D’Aniello, Flavio StochinoThe year 2019 represents a new growing step for SGAMR, that starts to publish “continuously” all the accepted papers, once they are subjected to positive, blinded peer-review process. This is a further effort to improve the service for the contributors and for the readers, given that the efficiency of the journal to share knowledge can be maximized.

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechatronic Systems to the Braking MechanismsRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuWith the evolution of technology, the construction and geometry of the piston, together with the materials from which it is made, as well as the related manufacturing technologies, have been continuously improved. Thus, modern engines have become less polluting, working at higher temperatures and pressures. Body aerodynamics have been improved, leading to lower resistance forces from the air. Also, the … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Aug 2020 · 6,954 accessesView PDFCite
