In the present study, a preliminary experimental work was carried out to examine the effect of mixing waste tire-rubber particles with cement mortar to develop an impact resistant and sound-reducing mortar composite. Laboratory tests were conducted to determine compressive and flexural strengths for...

This paper presents the results of creep behavior experimental testing of FRP beam-strengthened concrete (RC) beams subjected to two different sustained loads. The specimen had dimensions of 400 mm(W) × 600 mm(D) × 6,000 mm(L) were used with or without externally strengthened FRP beam. Test results showed...

A new three Degree Of Freedom (3-DOF) parallel manipulator has been proposed in this study. Because the parallel manipulator has three Degree Of Freedom (DOF), one translation degree of freedom and two rotational degrees of freedom. The model is established by using UG 8.0 and The inverse kinematic analysis...

Plate shape and plate convexity is an important quality index of plate d. In order to obtain the influence law about how roll bending force influence on the strip shape, This paper presents a new and more perfect mathematical model of the relationship between the bending force and strip crown and uses...

Hovercraft should be designed to survive in the extreme loading conditions, such as an underwater explosion (UNDEX). This paper used a finite element model based Zubr-class like LCAC (Air-cushioned landing craft) subjected to UNDEX to study dynamic responses of hovercraft main hull structure subjected...

In this work, the distilled biodiesel of waste cooking acids methyl esters (WCME) was blended with petroleum diesel as testing fuels (D100/DB2/DB5/DB20/DB100). The tribological performance of the biodiesel was evaluated using a reciprocating cylinder-on-flat wear test rig (Cameron-Plint TE-77) at various...

Engine compartment forms often a geometrical complex and is filled with a variety of combustible materials. In this paper, two groups of half scale fire experiments were conducted to investigate the fire behavior in the engine compartment of a motorcoach under different conditions. In the first experiment...

Static three-point bending test of Web-core steel sandwich panel was performed. The deformation and failure of the sandwich structure were investigated,together with the finite element simulations, which considered the weld width of the laser-welded T-joint. The results indicate that the initial yield...

In order to detection to low level glucose concentration, an ECL biosensor based on TGA-capped CdSe QDs was fabricated by the immobilization of CdSe QDs after modifying the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with 4-aminothiophenol diazonium salts by the electrochemical method. For the detection...
