Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Thermal Characteristics of a Sintered-Wick Heat Pipe with Double Heat SourcesNattawut Tharawadee, Pradit Terdtoon, Niti Kammuang-lueHeat pipes have been used extensively in the electronic industry for decades especially in laptop computers. For cost-effectiveness, a single heat pipe is designed to simultaneously transfer heat from both the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) inside the main board to the heat sink. This causes the efficiency of the heat pipe to change without … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,229 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Prediction Model for Temperature Distributions in Concrete at Early AgesWondwosen Ali, Girum UrgessaA finite element-finite difference numerical model is developed for predicting non-uniform temperature development in hydrating concrete with respect to time and space. The results obtained from this model can be used by structural and construction engineers to predict critical thermal stresses induced due to differential temperatures between the core and the surface of the concrete at early ages and between … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 2 Jan 2013 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCalibration Coefficients for Residual Stress Measurement in Composite Materials Using Finite Element MethodA. G. Ghasemi, M. AkbarzadehProblem statement: Since the residual stresses can cause a scienificant reduction in strength of the mechanical components, having a semi-destructive measuring method that would predict and model theses stresses would be an advantage. The hole drilling method has been used, by many researches, for measurement of the residual stresses in different materials. In this article, the finite element method is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2012 · 9,015 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStability and Ergonomic Design Features of Tractor Mounted Hydraulic Elevator for Coconut HarvestingKishor Purushottamrao Kolhe, Ashok G. Powar, Amit D. Dhakane, Sham H. MankarProblem statement: The most important design criterion of mechanized device was safety; safety comprises both the safety of operator and safety of maintenance personnel. Failures and safety of harvesting platform of Tractor Mounted Hydraulic Elevator (TMHE) powered by tractor PTO was tested by finite element method for the mechanical harvesting of coconut orchards using digital ergonomic hart rate meter. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2011 · 8,326 accessesView PDFCite

Lopez Almansa et al.Problem statement: Accounting for uncertainties that were present in geometric and material data of reinforced concrete buildings was performed in this study within the context of performance based seismic engineering design. Approach: Reliability of the expected performance state is assessed by using various methodologies based on finite element nonlinear static pushover analysis and specialized reliability software package. Reliability approaches that … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,843 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParticle Swarm Optimization Approach for Optimal Design of Switched Reluctance MachineMahadevan Balaji, Vijayarajan KamarajProblem statement: Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are widely used in various applications due to their inherent simplicity and rugged construction In SRM, torque output and torque ripple are sensitive to stator and rotor pole arcs and their selection is a vital part of SRM design process. In this study Particle Swarm Optimization technique is proposed for determining optimum pole arc … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,328 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStress-Strain Analysis of Abdominal Aortic Wall: A Case of 3D Geometry SimulationP. Khamdaengyodtai, P. Sakulchangsatjatai, P. TerdtoonProblem statement: This study analyzed stress-strain of abdominal aortic wall in 3D geometry simulation. Abdominal aorta is a portion of the aorta vessel in the abdomen which many cardiovascular diseases often occur. Approach: Abdominal aortic wall was considered as 1 layers-3 dimensional cylindrical geometry and homogeneous, incompressible and anisotropic material. Deformation of aortic wall was elastic deformation. Numerical method was … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,406 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.

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 · 7,750 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Two Interacting Localized Defects on the Critical Load for Thin Cylindrical Shells Under Axial CompressionAbdellatif Khamlichi, Jalal El Bahaoui, Larbi El Bakkali et al.Problem statement: Many modern structures are made from thin shells. Design of these elements depends to a large extent on their buckling behavior which is hugely affected by the initial geometric imperfections. Approach: For axially compressed isotropic circular cylindrical shells, axisymmetric localized geometric imperfections were found to reduce severely the buckling strength. Among various axisymmetric shapes of localized defects that … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,065 accessesView PDFCite
