Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Manufacturing for Novel Materials in Industrial Design ApplicationsFrancesco Tamburrino, Antonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe research presented starts with a focus on Smart Materials, or rather materials with properties that react to external stimuli (temperature, electric or magnetic field, pH or mechanical stress, for example) related to the environmental changes, modifying one or some of their own properties (mechanical, electrical, appearance, etc.). Afterward, one category of Smart Materials, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), has been … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 May 2018 · 8,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPresentation of a Mechanism with a Maltese Cross (Geneva Driver)Florian Ion Tiberiu Petrescu, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Antonio ApicellaThe paper presents briefly a mechanism with a cross of Malta. The mechanisms with a Maltese cross (Geneva driver) are present in automation, robotics, mechanical transmissions, continuous variable transmissions, old clocks, especially when it comes to transmitting forces and high moments, being used instead of or with the gears. The geometry of the mechanism consisting of two elements, the kinematics … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2018 · 8,558 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Study of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened by FRP Bars Subjected to Impact Loading ConditionsSajjad Roudsari, Sameer Hamoush, Sayed Soleimani et al.Civil engineers have considered Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials to enhance the performance of structural members subjected to static and dynamic loading conditions. However, there are some design limitations due to uncertainty in the behavior of such strengthened members. This fact is particularly important when considering the complex nature of the nonlinear behavior of materials, the impact loading conditions and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Apr 2018 · 9,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInverse Kinematics of a Stewart PlatformRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.The development and diversification of machines and mechanisms with applications in all fields require new scientific researches for the systematization and improvement of existing mechanical systems by creating new mechanisms adapted to modern requirements, which involve increasingly complex topological structures. The modern industry, the practice of designing and building machinery is increasingly based on the results of scientific and applied … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2018 · 14,801 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractKnowledge Acquisition of Existing Buildings by Means of Diagnostic Surveying. Case StudiesGiovanna Concu, Nicoletta Trulli, Monica ValdésThe issue of assessing the structural safety of existing buildings involves several problems when a unique and reliable strategy of modelling and analyzing is looked for. This is mainly related to the peculiarity of each construction in a context of broad variety. In this light the structural model and consequently the judgment on structural safety should be derived from a … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2018 · 7,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInterpretation of Double Langmuir Probe I-V Characteristics at Different Ionospheric Plasma TemperaturesShankar BhattaraiWhere the plasma potential is fluctuating significantly, Single Langmuir probe method is not relevant to determine the plasma characteristics. This weakness was overcome by the development of the floating double probe. A distortion of the probe characteristics due to varying potential is eliminated, while the whole probe system is floating. This supports probe operation also in discharges with strongly varying … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2017 · 8,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeighted Integration Route to Stiffness Matrix of Quadrilaterals for Speed, Accuracy and Functionally Graded Material ApplicationSubramanian G., P.V. JeyakarthikeyanA weighted integration route with robust one-point integration (hourglass-controlled) is proposed as efficient, time saving alternative to Gauss quadrature for stiffness matrix of bilinear quadrilaterals. One-point rule relies on sampling at the center of the element to linearize the geometric transformation and average the material property over it. This enables, for a given element, explicit integration of stiffness matrix yielding … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 27 Sep 2017 · 8,054 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrophysical Properties Distribution Modelling of an Onshore Field, Niger Delta, NigeriaGodwin Omokenu EmujakporueThis research is based on the modelling of petrophysical parameters distribution of an onshore oil field in Niger Delta. The methodology involves the construction of 3-D grids that represent the reservoir geometry, accompany by property modeling where the 3-D grids were populated with petrophysical properties (porosity, water saturation, net to gross ratio, facies and permeability). The objective is to construct … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2017 · 14,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review of Recent Results on 3D EffectsRelly Victoria V. Petrescu, Florian Ion T. PetrescuThree dimensions or three-dimensional or 3D are expressions that characterize the space around us, as perceived by our vision, in terms of width, height and depth. The term "3D" is also (and improperly) used to refer to the representation in synthetic (digital) images, the relief of stereoscopic images or other images in relief and sometimes even the simple stereophonic effect, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Dec 2016 · 8,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPressure Ulcer Prevention: Optimizing a Temporally Redistributing Support InterfaceJoshua M. Peterson, Colleen P. Healey, G. Jacobus Visser et al.One of the most common complications from long-term wheelchair use or bed rest is pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers have significant morbidity and are associated with high mortality. Prolonged sitting can cause high pressures in the skin and subcutaneous tissue which can lead to local ischemia and breakdown of skin. Rapid relief of pressure prevents ulcer formation. One prevention strategy is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2016 · 7,906 accessesView PDFCite
