Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Optimization of Composite I Beam Floor SystemUroš Klanšek, Stojan KravanjaThe paper presents the cost optimization of the composite I beam floor system. The composite I beam floor system is designed to be constructed up of a reinforced concrete slab and doubly-symmetrical welded steel I beams. The optimization was performed by the nonlinear programming approach, NLP. An accurate objective function of the manufacturing material, power and labour costs was developed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Wear Map for the Sliding and Rotational Wear behavior of ShaftsAl-mahasne Mayas MohammadThis study was an attempt to study the wear calculation method for rotating shaft in the friction couple type shaft-cuff in conditions of oiling in high dusty environment. The size and quantity of abrasive particles that go into the clearance between friction surfaces, definition of the pressure including the load in conjugate that is given by the cuff spring as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Pulsed Laser Deposition System for the Formation of Web-liked Carbon NanotubesNoorhana Yahya, Beh Hoe Guan, Mansor HashimThis work reports on our earnest effort to develop a pulsed laser ablation deposition system for the production of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The correct condition such as the pressure, ablation time, power of laser will result in different structures and morphology of the tubes. A T-shaped stainless steel chamber was designed. Nd:YAG laser with 532 nm wavelength, 10.54W output power … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 7,037 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFinite 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 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSimilitude Distortion Compensation for a Small Scale Model of a Knee Braced Steel FrameNouredine Bourahla, Anthony BlakeboroughThe purpose of producing scaled physical models is to allow the assessment in the laboratory of the probable response of a structure to a prescribed loading. It is obviously of paramount importance to construct these models to reflect reality as accurately as possible. The problem encountered particularly for dynamic testing is that the similitude requirements are sometimes impractical. This paper … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,180 accessesView PDFCite
