Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShape Retrieval through Angular Distance with Shortest Augmenting Path AlgorithmD. Chitra, N. Devarajan, T. ManigandanProblem statement: The shape of an object is very important in object recognition. Shape matching is a challenging problem, especially when articulation and deformation of a part occurs. These variations may be insignificant for human recognition but often cause a matching algorithm to give results that are inconsistent with our perception. Approach: We proposed a customized approach to measure similarity … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 21 Oct 2011 · 6,822 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Drives and Control Integrated Time-Domain Dynamic Analysis and Modeling Approach Applied To Ultra-Precision Machine ToolsTianjian Li, Shijin Chen, Haijun Zhang, Kai ChengProblem statement: Machines dynamic performance depends not only upon the mechanical structure and components but also the drives and control system. However, the design of the machines is still at the nascent stage by working on an individual machine basis, hence lacks generic scientific approach and design guideline. Approach: Using computer models integrated drives and control system to predict the … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Jul 2011 · 8,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of organic wax on bitumen characteristicsArafat Suleiman Yero, Mohd Rosli HaininStatement problem: The study investigated effect of organic wax Sasobit wax (S) on the characteristics of bitumen 80/100-penetration grade. The consistency of bitumen is measure of its susceptibility to temperature change and resistance to flow which affects ability and resistance to deformation of the mixture. Approach: This study reviewed the bitumen modification process in relation to Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 8,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Dynamics Investigation of Cutting Force in Nanometric Cutting of Monocrystalline SiliconY.H. Chen, F.Z. Fang, X.D. Zhang, X.T. HuProblem statement: Ultra-precision machining of monocrystalline silicon has become tremendously important in microelectronic, micromechanical and optical element manufacturing and the mechanism of nanometric cutting monocrystalline silicon has been a focused research topic. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation is developed as an effective way for studying the material removal process at nanometric scale. Approach: Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation of nanometric cutting is … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2011 · 8,408 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Monitoring System for Mitigation Planning: The Case of "Bagnaschino" Landslide in Northern ItalyGiuliani Andrea, Bonetto Sabrina, Castagna Sara et al.Problem statement: The Bagnaschino landslide occurred in November 1994 that caused extensive floods and many landslides all over northern Italy. In southern Piedmont, the Casotto River (Cuneo Province) damaged many kilometers of provincial road and the river was dammed by this landslide. The landslide involves an area of about 100 thousands m3, but a good knowledge of the landslide is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlexural Behaviors of Damaged Full-Scale Highway Bridge Girder Strengthened by External Post TensionSayan Sirimontree, Jaruek TeerawongProblem statement: Prestressed Concrete (PC) I section girder with Reinforced Concrete (RC) topping slab has been widely applied to long span bridge girders for several years. A bridge girder is subjected to severe conditions caused by an aggressive environment and overloading. A crack can be initiated and propagate when the tensile stress exceeds the tensile strength of concrete due to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 8,675 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Naghdi's Shell with a Unilateral Contact of a Rigid ObstacleTaallah Frekh, Nouri Fatma-ZohraProblem statement: In this study we considered a shell modeled by Naghdi’s equations with a unilateral contact of a rigid body. Approach: This model has been studied by Blouza and Le Dret (1994b) but without contact. Results: In this study, we studied the existence, uniqueness and continuity of the deformation of this shell with respect to the data. Conclusion: We … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,753 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObject Identity, Apparent Motion, Transformation GeometryFelice L. Bedford, Birgitta E. ManssonProblem statement: A classic question in cognition was addressed on how two glimpses separated in time are determined to refer either to the same object or to two different objects, without which coherent perception of the world is not possible. Approach: A general solution was offered in which observers exploit an entire family of geometries. It was argued that a … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Abnormal Modes of Hoisting DC Electric Drive SystemKosmas ZdrozisProblem statement: Host number of publications in which special attention was given to the behavior of the hoisting drives in abnormal modes was found. The effect of the failure of the main power supply on the electrical and mechanical parts of the hoisting drive when the motor is operating in the regenerative braking mode was not enough studied. Approach: In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,248 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review of Constitutive Models for Rubber-Like MaterialsAidy Ali, M. Hosseini, B. B. SahariProblem statement: This study reviewed the needs of different constitutive models for rubber like material undergone large elastic deformation. The constitutive models are widely used in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) packages for rubber components. Most of the starting point for modeling of various kinds of elastomer is a strain energy function. In order to define the hyperelastic material behavior, stress-strain … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 21,720 accessesView PDFCite
