Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReinforcing Effect of Strain Gauges on 3D Printed Polymers: An Experimental InvestigationSalvatore Brischetto, Roberto TorreStrain gauges are ordinary transducers for strain measuring; their operation relies on the electrical resistance, which varies as the underlying substrate is subjected to mechanical deformation. The mechanical strain can be obtained by converting the electrical signal through a gauge factor, provided by the manufacturer. It was demonstrated that its values are not unique; it may be influenced by the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2021 · 7,662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLength Measurement of Long Gauge Blocks by InterferometerKanokporn Kohmun, Pichet Limsuwan, Monludee Ranusawud, Prathan BuranasiriA gauge block interferometer with a vacuum chamber was designed and constructed for the measurement of gauge block lengths between 10 to 1,000 mm. In the chamber, four gauge blocks under the length measurement can be mounted on the measuring table. Furthermore, the length of all four gauge blocks can be measured continuously in one measurement. In this study, four … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 26 Sep 2020 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Brief Review on WIMPs in 331 Electroweak Gauge ModelsP.S. Rodrigues da SilvaIn this study we review the cold dark matter problem in the context of a class of models which are a simple extension of the electroweak standard model, where the gauge symmetry is dictated by the group structure, SU(3)c⊗SU(3)L⊗U(1)X. This model, in different versions, has been able to address many interesting facts not explained by the standard model. It would … …Physics International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Oct 2015 · 13,044 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Simple Model of Gauged Lepton and Baryon ChargesP.V. Dong, H.N. LongWe propose a simple extension of the standard model with lepton and baryon numbers gauged by introducing only two leptoquarks (j+1/2, k-1/2) to the fermion content. As natural consequences of the anomaly cancelation, the right-handed neutrinos present and the number of observed fermion families equals to the number of fundamental colors, which is three. To avoid stabilized colored-leptoquarks, two scalar … …Physics International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 20 Jun 2015 · 7,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMuon Anomalous Magnetic Moment in a SU(4) ⊗ U(1)N Model Without Exotic Electric ChargesDiego CogolloWe study an electroweak gauge extension of the standard model, so called 3-4-1 model, which does not contain exotic electric charges and it is anomaly free. We discuss phenomenological constraints of the model and compute all the corrections to the muon magnetic moment. Mainly, we discuss different mass regimes and their impact on this correction, deriving for the first time … …Physics International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 13 Sep 2015 · 7,691 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPile Instrumentation Using Retrievable SensorsFaisal Hj. Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Sieng KaiStrain gauges are normally used to monitor the shortening or compression of pile during static pile load test. For concrete spun pile, the technique used either by incorporating high temperature-resistant strain gauges into the heat-cured production process of the spun piles or by installing an instrumented steel pipe into the hollow core of the spun piles followed by cement grout … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNon-Singular Thermodynamic GravityPharis E. WilliamsNewton formed his laws of motion, but still had to assume a law of gravity in order to determine the motions of bodies interacting through gravitational forces. Newton gave a prescription of how to find the dynamics produced by gravity. Einstein sought to determine the motions of gravity without using a force. Rather, he sought a system of equations by … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 23 Dec 2013 · 7,657 accessesView PDFCite

Al-MajhadiProblem statement: Field machines contribute a major portion of the total cost of crop production. Proper selection and matching of farm machinery is essential in order to reduce the cost of crop production. Performance data for tractors and implements are, therefore, essential for farm machinery operators and manufacturers alike.
