Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Cycle Fatigue Behavior of a Reduced End Plate Moment Connection (T-Stub)Chemin Lim, Wonchang Choi, Emmett A. Sumner, Taher Abu-LebdehProblem statement: In this research, four reduced End Plate Moment Connection (EPMC) specimens (T-stubs) are tested to verify the numerical and theoretical methods for preanalysis of the Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) behavior of a four-bolt extended unstiffened EPMC. Approach: The T-stub specimens are bolted to a support frame and a monotonic load is applied to the stem plate. Yield line … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 12 Jan 2012 · 7,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of the Bone-Plate Whole Spacing on the Interfragmentary StrainBoonthum WongchaiProblem statement: The bone plate is commonly used when human bone fracture occurs. The Inter Fragmentary (IFS) is an important factor for curing human bone fracture and designing the bone plate. The best IFS range from 2-10%.The whole spacing is a factor affecting the IFS that should be taken into account. Approach: This research propose a study on the effect … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 3 Nov 2011 · 6,877 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Study of the Stress Response of Bi-Directional Corrugated-Strip Core Sandwich BeamSuphattharachai Chomphan, Manit LeekitwattanaProblem statement: In engineering design, stress affects the size of structural member. A suitable topology of structure should be designed to optimize the stress. Approach: This study presents an alternative topology of truss-like core sandwich beam referred to here as bi-directional corrugated-strip core topology. A finite element method is used to study the stress response of three point loaded truss-like … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 23 Jul 2011 · 7,060 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 abstractInvestigation of Abutment Displacement of a Full Height Integral Bridges in Dense Granule BackfillM. H. Alizadeh, A.R. Khalim Rashid, Zamri Chik, S. M. MirhosseinyProblem statement: In this study, the behavior of abutment wall in full height frame integral abutment bridges was investigated. It was seen that the effect of backfill soil resistance on behavior of abutment wall movement is mostly neglected in previous studies. In this research, the final bridge superstructure displacement under temperature-induced forces was formulated. In addition, according to the final … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2010 · 8,352 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 abstractDie Radius Affecting Sheet Metal Extrusion Quality for Fine Blanking ProcessChatkaew Suriyapha, Suthep Yiemchaiyaphum, Bopit BubphachotProblem statement: Sheet metal extrusion is a process in which the punch penetrates one surface of the sheet metal material to cause it to extrude and flow toward the outlet of the die. Therefore, the process can invent different thickness of sheet metal work piece. From these advantages on the sheet metal extrusion, nowadays, it is generally used in many … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,126 accessesView PDFCite
