Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHot Machining of Hardened Steels with Coated Carbide InsertsM. A. Lajis, A. K.M.N. Amin, A. N.M. Karim et al.Problem statement: The benefits of easier manufacture of hardened steel components can be substantial in terms of reduced machining costs and lead times compared to the traditional route involving machining of the annealed state followed by heat treatment, grinding/EDM and manual finishing. But machinability of hard material through conventional machining is hindered due to excessive wear of the cutting tools … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,384 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 · 7,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Polishing of Cutting-Edge Polymer-on-Glass for Pigtailing PreparationMohammad Syuhaimi Ab-Rahman, Fazlinda Ab-Aziz, Noor Azie Azura Mohd Arif et al.Problem statement: The high quality of cutting-edge surface is important in optical waveguide's efficiency. The perfect polishing of end surface is significant to deliver the best quality of light waves and minimize the device losses such as insertion loss and return loss. Hence, this research is concern on the parameters in polishing SU-8 polymer to increase the efficiency of waveguide. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Torsion on Externally Prestressed Segmental Concrete Bridge with Shear KeyM. A. Algorafi, A. A.A. Ali, M. S. Jaafar et al.Externally Prestressed Segmental (EPS) concrete box sections are widely used in the construction of bridge structures today. EPS concept has become an attractive tool for rehabilitation and strengthening of existing bridges which have insufficient strength and/or excessive deflection and cracking. Problem statement: EPS bridges are affected by combined stresses (bending, shear, normal, and torsional) at the joint interface between the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBase Course Modification through Stabilization using Cement and BitumenS. M. Marandi, P. SafapourThe main objectives of this research was to analyze the use of combined cement and bitumen emulsion in base course stabilization in details and examine its replacement with conventional pavement in regions with low quality materials and limited construction period. To conduct the objectives, the research divided into three phases. Phase I involved the optimization of cement and bitumen emulsion. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,806 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Mesoporous Titania with Surfactant and its CharacterizationT. Benkacem, N. AgoudjilA mesoporous titania was obtained by gelation from Ti-alkoxide in acidic solutions with addition of surfactant cetyltrimetylammonium bromide (CH3(CH2)15N(CH3)3Br) using a sol-gel process. The effects of surfactant concentration on synthesis of mesoporous titania were studied. The structural characterisation was studied by differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction. Studies by X-ray diffraction showed that crystallisation of TiO2 powder occurs at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,418 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Shot Peening and Polishing on the Pitting Corrosion Resistance of Stainless SteelOmar Badran, Naser Kloub, Musa Musa Al-TalAn experimental work was performed to study one of the major problems encountered in industry (i.e., pitting corrosion), which cost the industrial world billions of dollars every year. Stainless Steel 304L sheets were used in the present study, the main reason for using stainless steel is their corrosion resistance and it is the most widely used in process industries, but … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,330 accessesView PDFCite
