Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigation of the Behavior of Tailings Earthen Dam Under Seismic ConditionsDebarghya Chakraborty, Deepankar ChoudhuryProblem statement: A number of tailings earthen dams have failed during past earthquakes. The failure of tailings dam ultimately results into the release of the stored tailings waste deposit in the surrounding locality. To reduce such damage of tailings earthen dam, a detail method of seismic analysis is very much essential which can be used reliably for the design and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,559 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Global Positioning System Data for Offshore Platform DeformationAbdul Nasir Matori, Nurrohmat WidjajantiProblem statement: Reservoir compaction and shallow gas migration phenomena may cause offshore platform to experience deformation which if happens excessively will affect their structural integrity. Approach: Hence it is crucial to monitor and quantify the magnitude of the deformation especially if they are not uniform throughout the platform structure. However since mostly the offshore platforms are few hundreds kilometers away … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 8,698 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioengineering Assessment on Sloppy GroundMu'azu Mohammed Abdullahi, Nazri Bn Ali, Kamarudin Bn Haj AhmedProblem statement: Soft engineering solution of sloppy surface utilizes mechanical and hydrological effects of vegetation. The hydrological effects driven by transpiration, induces an increase in matric suction and consequently tension also increase along with the decrease of moisture. Therefore once the horizontal stress of the soil exceeds the limit of tensile strain of the soil cracks occurs. Approach: The negative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,242 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractBending Stress and Deflection Analysis of Meshing Spur Gear Tooth during the Single Tooth Contact with Finite Element Method and Determination of the Bending StiffnessAntonios D. Tsolakis, Konstantinos G. Raptis, Maria D. MargaritouPurpose of this study is the study of loading and contact problems encountered at rotating machine elements and especially at tooth gears. Tooth gears are some of the most commonly used mechanical components for rotary motion and power transmission. This fact proves the necessity for improved reliability and enhanced service life, which requires precise and clear knowledge of the stress … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2017 · 7,642 accessesView PDF Cite
