Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study on the Influence of Fault on the Seepage and Stress Field of FormationYongxiang Zheng, Jianjun Liu, Bohu Zhang, Yue SunIn the process of water injection in oil field, the fault will affect the seepage field and stress field of the formation, which leads to the deformation and destruction of the formation. Therefore, more casing damage wells are found around the fault. In order to study the influence of fault on the formation in the process of water injection, a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2017 · 7,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Formulation for Active Composite LaminatesDragan Marinkovic, Manfred ZehnSmart structures are characterized by a synergistic integration of active materials into a passive structure connected by a control system to enable an automatic adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Piezoelectric materials are widely used as distributed sensors and actuators in smart structures, where especially hybrid composites - a combination of fiber-reinforced and piezoelectric laminae - are very powerful smart material … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 2 Jun 2015 · 7,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE ADVERSE EFFECT OF STEEL PARTICLE CONTAMINANTS ON FATIGUE LIFE OF GREASE LUBRICATED BALL BEARINGSA. Stathis, Th. Costopoulos, D. Koulocheris, K. RaptisThe rating life of ball bearings is reduced when hard particle contaminants are present in the lubricant. Usually, this life reduction is taken into account in the calculation of modified rating life by using the contamination factor through a general characterization of the lubrication conditions. However, the impact of contaminant’s variables such as size, hardness and concentration level has to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2014 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE VOCALIZATION MECHANISM OF THE FLORIDA MANATEE (TRICHECHUS MANATUS LATIROSTRIS)Charles J. Grossman, Richard E. Hamilton, Martine De Wit et al.The mechanism by which Florida manatees produce vocalizations is unknown. Anatomically, the laryngeal region in manatees lacks clearly defined vocal folds. Initially we developed a method to visualize the entire manatee upper respiratory system. We then forced air through fresh necropsied manatee larynxes and generated artificial vocalizations which closely duplicated the normal vocalizations produced by live manatees, both in fundamental … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2014 · 8,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS FOR A CLASS OF VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIESTaallah FrekhIn this study we considered a deformed elastic solid with a unilateral contact of a rigid body. We studied the existence, uniqueness and continuity of the deformation of this solid with respect to the data. We proved the existence of solutions for a class of variational inequalities. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Oct 2013 · 6,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree Dimensional Reconstruction of Human Heart Surface from Single Image-View Under Different Illumination ConditionsAqeel Al-Surmi, Rahmita Wirza, Mohd Zamrin Dimon et al.The 3D reconstruction from a single-view image is a longstanding issue in computer vision literature, especially in the medical field. Traditional medical imaging techniques that provide information about the heart and which are used to reconstruct the heart model, include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) images. However, in some cases, they are not available and the applications … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 17 Jun 2013 · 7,613 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwist Springback Measurement of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Propeller Blade Based on Profile DeviationAhmad Baharuddin Abdullah, Mohd Sapuan Salit, Zahurin Samad et al.Geometrical defects that are attributable to springback are among the major defects induced by the sheet metal forming process. Such defects are critical for sections with varying thickness, such as Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) propeller blades. In this study, the springback in the twist-bending of an AA6061 propeller blade was quantified by comparing the targeted and manufactured profiles obtained using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 31 May 2013 · 7,380 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Rutting Depth in Flexible Pavements by Using Finite Element Analysis and Local Empirical ModelAlaa H. Abed, Adel A. Al-AzzawiThe objective of this research is to predict rut depth in local flexible pavements. Predication model in pavement performance is the process that used to estimate the parameter values which related to pavement structure, environmental condition and traffic loading. The different local empirical models have been used to calculate permanent deformation which include environmental and traffic conditions. Finite element analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Behavior of Tyre Tread BlockK. Sridharan, R. SivaramakrishnanThe Tyre tread pattern is the arrangement of blocks, grooves and voids, sipes and channels designed into the tread to enhance its grip on the road. Tread is the uppermost part of any tyre which contact into the road and it has its own performance towards mileage, traction, low noise and heat built up properties. It would be meaningful to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Jul 2012 · 9,791 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Elastic-Plastic Contact Performance of Rigid Sphere Against a Deformable Flat-Effect of Strain HardnessV.C. Sathish Gandhi, S. Ramesh, R. KumaravelanProblem statement: The present study considers an elastic-plastic contact analysis of a rigid sphere with a deformable flat (Rigid Sphere-model) using finite element analysis. The effect of tangent modulus on the contact behavior of a no adhesive frictionless elastic-plastic contact was analyzed using commercial finite element software ANSYS. Approach: Different materials, in terms of the ratio of Young's modulus to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 26 Dec 2011 · 8,218 accessesView PDFCite
