Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Analysis of K-Out of-n Repairable System with Dependent Failure and Stand by Support Using Kolmogorov's Forward Equations MethodM. Y. HaggagProblem statement: Many authors have studied k-out of-n repairable system with dependent failure and standby support. The question was raised whether the repair and standby units support increase the reliability of the system. Determine the efficiency of repair and standby support on the reliability of the system. Approach: In this study the statistical analysis of k-out of-n repairable system with … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,598 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarthquake Resistant Design of Reinforced Soil Structures Using Pseudo Static MethodB. Munwar Basha, G.L. Sivakumar BabuProblem statement: This study presented a method to evaluate the internal stability of reinforced soil structures against tension and pullout modes of failure using pseudo-static method for earthquake conditions. Approach: Using limit equilibrium method and assuming the failure surface to be logarithmic spiral, analysis was conducted to maintain internal stability against both tensile and pullout failure of the reinforcements. For … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal-Mechanical Analysis of a Different Leadframe Thickness of Semiconductor Package under the Reflow ProcessS. Abdullah, M. F. Abdullah, A. K. Ariffin, A. JalarThe copper-based leadframe is practically proven effective in the thermal and reliability of a Quad Flat No Lead (QFN) three dimension (3D) stacked-die semiconductor package. Reducing the copper thickness is understood to present various thermal and reliability failure mode and mechanisms, such as die cracking and delamination. However, no in-depth study has been pursued in order to determine the capability … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFailure Probability of 2-within-Consecutive-(2, 2)-out-of-(n, m): F System for Special Values of mE. M.E.L. SayedProblem statements: In this research, the researcher aimed to discuses the system failure probability of the model 2-within-consecutive (2, 2) out of (n, m) system for special values of m. Approach: The basic idea for evaluating the failure probability was the usage of the number of configuration of k (k = 2, 3, 4) parallel columns each contained n components … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeo-Seismic Environmental Aspects Affecting Tailings Dams FailuresJuan M. Mayoral, Miguel P. RomoSeismic performance evaluations of tailings dams are essential for characterizing the geo-environmental risks posed by these earthen structures, which should include the geotechnical hazards implied by slope instability failure, free board loss and the potential release of contaminants. The observed damage is more important when liquefaction occurs on the dam body and foundation, which often leads to cracking, settlements, tilting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Neutral Network in Predicting Corporate FailureHuong G. NguyenThis study investigates the predictive power of three neutral network models: Multi-layer neural network, probabilistic neural network, and logistic regression model in predicting corporate failure. Basing on the database provided by The Corporate Scorecard Group (CSG), we combine financial ratios which deem to be significant predictors of corporate bankruptcy in many previous empirical studies to build our predictive models and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFailure Diagnosis on Discrete Event SystemsSihem Kechida, Nasr Eddine DebbacheThe modern technology advances to a point where it is possible and extensively desirable to improve reliability and the technical process safety. This is achieved by computer implanted FDI procedures (Fault Detection and Isolation). However, the malfunction of actuators, sensors and of the process components, as well as erroneous actions of human operators can have some disastrous consequences in high … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSystem Availability in the Presence of Estimating Common-cause Time-varying Failure RatesM. A. El-Damcese, Kh. A. Abd AlttifThis study presents a method for calculating the availability of a system depicted by availability block diagram, with identically distributed components, in the presence of estimating common cause hazard, we use the Marshall and Olkin formulation of the multivariate exponential distribution. That is, the components are subject to failure by Poisson failure processes that govern simultaneous failure of a specific … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,732 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Effects of Water Conditioning on the Adhesion Properties of Crack SealantAhmed Lamarre, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis paper investigates the effect of water exposure on three different crack sealants commonly used in cold, moderate and hot climates. It is hypothesized that water penetrates into the interface between crack sealant and substrates causing progressive adhesion failure and that the rate of failure varies depending on the sealant’s surface chemistry as relates to its interaction with water molecules … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2016 · 8,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARATIVE STUDY ON ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN DYNAMIC WINDOW SECURED IMPLICIT GEOGRAPHIC FORWARDING ROUTING PROTOCOLAbubakar Idris Umar, Zurina Mohd HanapiAn Ideal WSNs should operate with the least possible energy required in order to increase the lifetime of the sensor nodes and at the same time, ensure network connectivity. But the Inherent power limitation makes power-awareness a critical requirement for WSN, this calls for the need to manage energy in sensor nodes. Also In order to ensure successful transmission of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 9 Apr 2014 · 6,859 accessesView PDFCite
