Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIntegration of Artificial Neural Network and Expert System for Material Classification of Natural Fibre Reinforced Polymer CompositesBasheer Ahmed Ahmed Ali, Mohd Sapuan Salit, Edi Syams Zainudin, Mohamed OthmanDiversified choice of materials from natural fibre reinforced polymer composites with similar properties complicate the materials selection for engineering products. Implementation of expert system alone makes it difficult to scrutinize the vast selected materials. Hybrid of expert system with neural network technology is desired. Classification of material through neural network under various criteria influences the decision in narrowing down the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 29 Apr 2015 · 7,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSelecting Natural Fibers for Bio-Based Materials with Conflicting CriteriaFaris M. AL-Oqla, Mohd Sapuan Salit, Mohamad Ridzwan Ishak, Nuraini Abdul AzizProper material selection enhances both desired physical and meta-physical properties of the end user products. Due to the growing awareness of the environmental issues as well as the industrial sustainability, the Natural Fiber Composites (NFCs) have recently emphasized to be implemented in various industrial applications. The final product features of such composites depend on the integrated characteristics of both matrix … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2015 · 8,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAdhesion and Hardness Evaluation of Modified Silicone-Dammar as Natural Coating MaterialsR. Zakaria, A. H. AhmadProblem statement: Dammar is a natural resin that used anciently in varnish production. The use of dammar natural resin in coating is limited by undesirable properties for application in coating where it is considered very brittle. Due to dammar's brittle nature, an aged dammar coating can be easily scratched or abraded. Approach: Dammar natural resin could be modified into Silicone-Dammar … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 20 Mar 2012 · 7,630 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExperimental Study on Natural Fibers for Green Acoustic Absorption MaterialsLamyaa Abd ALRahman, Raja Ishak Raja, Roslan Abdul RahmanNatural fibre materials are one of the major ways to improve environmental pollution and new materials need to be considered to find the best solutions. This study presents an experimental investigation on pure micro porous materials from two types of fibers: Date Palm Fibre (DPF) and Coconut Coir Fibre (CCF). This study was conducted to examine the potential for using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 8,782 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPROGRESS OF BIOMATERIALS IN THE FIELD OF ORTHOPAEDICSD. Chandramohan, J. Bharanichandar, P. Karthikeyan et al.The aim of this study is to compare the metallic and natural fiber reinforced polymer composite bone plates used in humerus fractures. A 3D finite element model was developed to analyze the performance of both types of plates. This study proposed on fabrication of natural fiber powdered material (like Sisal (Agave sisalana), Banana (Musa sapientum) and Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa)) Reinforced … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 6 Feb 2014 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUtilization of Recycled and Waste Materials in Various Construction ApplicationsJohnny Bolden, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie FiniMore production equals more waste, more waste creates environmental concerns of toxic threat. An economical viable solution to this problem should include utilization of waste materials for new products which in turn minimize the heavy burden on the nation’s landfills. Recycling of waste construction materials saves natural resources, saves energy, reduces solid waste, reduces air and water pollutants and reduces … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2013 · 24,562 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMain Aspects of Tunnel Muck RecyclingRossana Bellopede, Fabrizio Brusco, Pierpaolo Oreste, Maurizio PepinoProblem statement: Italy is one of the first countries in the world as far as the number of tunnels is concerned. Many new tunnels are currently under construction or have been planned (300 km of railway tunnels and 150 km of road tunnels, some more than 500 m long, but also metropolitan tunnels). Tunnels are usually excavated in mountain areas … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 14 Sep 2011 · 9,338 accessesView PDFCite
