Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAnisotropy Influence of Cubic Solid on Dynamic Hertzian Contact Stiffness for a Vibrating Rigid IndenterJiayong TianProblem statement: Resonance-type microscopies have been widely used to evaluate the nanoscaled or microscaled surface elastic properties of materials by the resonance-frequency shifts of an oscillator, which contacts the surface of materials by a spherical tip. Approach: The tip-specimen contact is modeled to be a spring support, whose stiffness is given by the traditional Hertzian contact theory. However, because of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,711 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAtmospheric Moisture Condensation to Water Recovery by Home Air ConditionersAmir Hossein Mahvi, Vali Alipour, Leila RezaeiEarth’s atmosphere contains billion cubic meters of fresh water, which is considerable as a reliable water resource, especially in sultry areas. What is important in this context, how to extract the water, in an economic manner. In order to extract water from air conditioner, no need to spend any cost, because water produced as a by-product and trouble production. This … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
