INTRODUCTION The study of dynamical effect of moving loads at highway and railroad bridges has a history of more than one and a half century. The collapse of Jester Bridge in England in 1847 encouraged both the theoretical and experimental studies. The catastrophe caused tremendous human losses and...
INTRODUCTION The most widely used ceramic materials are alumina, A[l.sub.2][O.sub.3] and zirconia, Zr[O.sub.2], because of their excellent bio-compatibility. The main advantage of A[l.sub.2][O.sub.3] is its high hardness and wear resistance, while Zr[O.sub.2] exhibits higher strength and fracture toughness, besides its lower Young' s modulus (1), (2), (3), (4),...
INTRODUCTION The elastic linear mechanics of fracture MLER is a usual theory for analysing the fracture of metals or brittle materials such as glass or ceramics (1). All the phenomena of damage are supposed to be concentrated at the tip crack. As for the nonlinear mechanics of fracture...
INTRODUCTION The tropical root crop cassava Manihot esculenta Crantz is the third most important source of calories for human food in the tropics after rice and maize. Over 600 million people depend on cassava in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Cassava is grown by poor farmers, many of...
INTRODUCTION Establishing the most favorable vibration operation conditions for swinging screens is the essential problem when devising such equipment. The amplitude and the frequency of vibrations are the decisive factors that influence the vibrating conditions. The sieves operate best in over-critical angular resonant regime, at high frequencies coupled...
INTRODUCTION A huge amount of investments are used for maintenance, construction and extending roads and freeways in many countries. Statistics shows that during last fifty years, the most investments are used on roads in compare to other general infrastructures (1). The roads built with conventional methods...
INTRODUCTION Honeycomb structures are widely used in aerospace industry. The fuselage and wings of some aeroplanes consist of multi-layer structure such as honeycomb one. These materials have high toughness and little specific weight. Various types of defects can appear during operation period of time in honeycomb structures. The...
INTRODUCTION The proton exchange membrane PEM fuel cell is a promising alternative to traditional power sources for a wide range of portable, automotive and stationary applications. The advantages of PEM fuel cell include the ability to provide high current densities at relatively low operating temperature, quick start-up, immediate...
face=+Bold; The Meridian Resource Corp.face=-Bold; , Houston, (NYSE: TMR) reports Delacroix No. 1 in the Bayou Gentilly area southwest of the Biloxi Marshland in Louisiana has been returned to production after repairs to a major pipeline were completed. The well was shut-in during early August when the major...
INTRODUCTION Mangrove sediments are anaerobic and reduced, as well as being rich in sulphide and organic matter. They therefore favour the retention of water-borne heavy metals (1), (2) and the subsequent oxidation of sulphides between tides allows metal mobilization and bioavailability (3). Many mangrove ecosystems are close to...
INTRODUCTION In recent years, many methods of processing the Electrocardiogram ECG signal were reported (1), (2). Since it is difficult to get an accurate real value of the measured property of the ECG signal due to the fluctuation of the surrounding environment effects of measuring methods...
INTRODUCTION A recent study by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government of Malaysia on current recycling practices showed that plastics accounted for about 9.7% of household waste. In addition to that, the National Technical Committee on Management of Solid Waste was studying various proposals on the use...
INTRODUCTION The concentration of Potentially Toxic Elements PTEs in noncontaminated soils is related to parent material, soil forming processes, degree of mineral alteration (1), (2) and soil clay content (3). Different anthropogenic processes incorporate PTEs in soils at different rates. Biosolids, used due to their beneficial effects on...
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to draw up as complete as possible a representation of the geologic, hydrogeological and vulnerability status of the groundwater resources associated with the site of the EUREX nuclear processing plant in Saluggia. This representation has enabled us to describe the present...
INTRODUCTION Saline water and sludge produced during oil and gas exploration are usually stored on site (1). The current disposal of contaminated materials is inefficient and costly (2) and the remoteness of many sites complicates the disposal process as these sites are only accessible in winter (3). Storage...
