Influence of wall friction on Active Earth Pressure in Model Test
Abstract: Earth pressure theories occupy a paramount position in the field of geotechnical engineering. The knowledge of active earth pressure under static condition is essential in designing a retaining wall as the damage to such retaining structures may lead to disastrous failure. A retaining wall helps in maintaining the ground surface at different elevations on either side of it. Without such a structure, the soil at higher elevation would tend to …

Intelligent Electromagnetic Braking System
Abstract: AbstractThe principle of conventional braking system involves the conversion of kinetic energy into heat. It uses development of contact friction for retardation. When the brake is applied, the brake shoes having a friction material lining are forced by hydraulic wheel cylinders against the inner surface of a rotating drum. The result of this contact produces friction, enabling the vehicle to slow down and stop. The design consideration is such that …

A Review on Current Status of Biodegradable Surgical Implant Materials
Abstract: Since many years, inert metals such as stainless steel, cobalt-chromium and titanium alloys have been the primary biomaterials used for load bearing applications. In order to these metallic implants such as pins, screws and plates for repairing the defects have to be removed by secondary surgery once the bone tissue is healed, which will increase the morbidity, pain and cost. Hence conventional metallic biomaterials are biocompatible but not biodegradable. At …

Finite Difference Analysis of Plane Couette Flow using MATLAB
Abstract: AbstractInternal flow is a flow for which the fluid is confined by a surface. Hence, the boundary layer is unable to develop without eventually being constrained. An internal flow is constrained by the bounding walls, and the viscous effects will grow and meet and permeate the entire flow. Some examples of internal flows are flow between two parallel horizontal plates, Couette flow, plane poiseuille flow, flow through pipes, etc. In …

Effect of Surface Pore Filling and Adhesive Joining on Energy Absorption of Closed Cell Aluminum Foam
Abstract: The joining of aluminum foam is explored in this paper. Foam specimens were sectioned and joined with commercially available adhesive and tested for its energy absorption capability against a normal foam specimen. There was a decrease in the plateau stress but the decrease is not significant. The effect of surface pore filling by the adhesive was also realized. It was found that the adhesive in the surface cells introduces constraints …

PVT Analysis: Validity Checks and EOS Turning Techniques for Retrograde Condensate Reservoirs
Abstract: PVT analysis is pertinent to field-wide development and optimization. This is because we need to know the over-all behavior of the fluid from reservoir through production and process facilities, down to the refinery. Its emergence as a separate discipline has been supported by the development of modern computer software that utilize EOS models for simulating experiments and representing fluid phase behaviours. PVT simulations are carried out to determine operating conditions …

Torsional Strengthening of RC Beam using Ferrocement Jacketing
Abstract: Due to the type of loading on the structure, it is generally known that there are four structural actions: axial force, shear, bending, and torsion. The reinforced concrete beams are said to be subjected to torsion, when the point of application of lateral loads does not coincides with shear center of the beam. These loads may be due to loading pattern or connection of beam. Torsional failure is typically seen …
