Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical Reliability Calculations for the Thin Specialty Glass PV Solar PanelsDhananjay Joshi, James E. WebbThis study provides important design guidance to the Photovoltaic (PV) solar panel development efforts using the finite element based computations of the PV module under the mechanical loadings. We consider specialty thin glass (Corning Eagle XG®) as superstrate of the PV module, while a standard tempered Soda-Lime-Silica Glass (SLG) is considered as bottom support. The reliability calculations for the module … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 3 Sep 2019 · 7,141 accessesView PDFCite

Through extensive review of previous generations of climbing robot, a hybrid wheel and permanent magnetic adhesion system has been designed and discussed in this paper. Using mathematical modelling and Finite Element … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Aug 2019 · 8,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Results on the Brittle Fracture of Terfenol-D Specimens under Magnetic FieldMarco Colussi, Kotaro Mori, Fumio NaritaThe following investigation has the purpose of describing, both experimentally and numerically, the fracture behavior of a giant magnetostrictive alloy commercially known as Terfenol-D. Single-edge precracked specimens have been analyzed via three-point bending tests, measuring fracture loads in the presence and absence of a magnetic field at various loading rates. The Strain Energy Density (SED), averaged in a finite control … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Dec 2016 · 7,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFatigue Life Prediction of Screw Blade in Screw Sand Washing Machine under Random Load with Gauss DistributionJie Gong, Yun-Fei Fu, Wen Xia et al.The purpose of this study is to present a new method for estimating the fatigue life of the screw blade in the screw sand washing machine. To ensure the accuracy of numerical simulation, the loading area and the value of load are determined by means of the theoretical analysis. To ascertain the location of the stress peak and stress range, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2016 · 8,010 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nanocomposite for Biomimetic Scaffolds Design and PreparationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Roberto Sorrentino et al.Biomimetics, biomechanics and tissue engineering are three multidisciplinary fields that have been contemplated in this research to attain the objective of improving prosthetic implants reliability. Since testing and mathematical methods are closely interlaced, a promising approach seemed to be the combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments with computer simulations (in silico). An innovative biomimetics and biomechanics approach and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced XFEM Simulation of Pull-out and Debonding of Steel Bars and FRP-Reinforcements in Concrete BeamsNicola Orlando, Elena BenvenutiAn innovative three-dimensional model is applied to the pull-out of steel bars and the debonding of FRP plates from concrete specimens. The shearing and opening modes at the interface of debonding is fully captured. The model is based on an innovative variant of the regularized eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) developed by the authors. In this method, the displacement discontinuity … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 6 Oct 2016 · 8,295 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Co-Rotational 3-Node Shell ElementGil Rama, Dragan Marinkovic, Manfred ZehnGeometric nonlinear FE-analysis of thin-walled shell structures, using a co-rotational formulation and the Cell Smoothed Discrete Shear Gap triangular shell element (CS-DSG3) is presented in this study. The CS-DSG3 element formulation uses the Mindlin-Reissner kinematic hypothesis to include transverse shear effects. In order to avoid locking effects Discrete Shear Gap (DSG) method is applied. In addition, cell based smoothing technique … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2016 · 8,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of a Machine Tool Spindle Critical Frequency through Modal and Imbalance Response AnalysisKhairul Jauhari, Achmad Widodo, Ismoyo HaryantoThe most important part for machine tool system is spindle system. The structural properties of spindle will affect to the productivity of machining process and the work pieces quality. Thus it is necessary and very important to know its spindle dynamic behaviors for avoiding forced vibration due to resonance. The Finite Element Method (FEM) has been adopted for obtaining spindle … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 14 Feb 2016 · 8,597 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFINITE VOLUME METHOD OF MODELLING TRANSIENT GROUNDWATER FLOWN. Muyinda, G. Kakuba, J. M. MangoIn the field of computational fluid dynamics, the finite volume method is dominant over other numerical techniques like the finite difference and finite element methods because the underlying physical quantities are conserved at the discrete level. In the present study, the finite volume method is used to solve an isotropic transient groundwater flow model to obtain hydraulic heads and flow … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2014 · 7,111 accessesView PDFCite
