Simulation of Propeller Shaft for Composite Material
Abstract: Composites are today widely used to design the automobile components as they have outstanding specific stiffness and strength properties. Weight reduction can be primarily achieved by the introduction of better material. The conventional system uses metallic shaft, has inherent limitations like heavy weight, corrosion, flexibility problems, vibrations, which magnifies with increase in shaft diameter. Advanced composite materials offer the potential to improve propulsion shafting, by reducing weight, bearing loads, alignment …

Cost Objective Model for Construction Equipment Replacement Policies
Abstract: Most construction companies, particularly companies whose projects are primarily constructed with earthmoving equipment, depend heavily on their construction equipment fleets, which represent substantial locked capital investment and require acceptable utilization levels to recover expenses incurred and losses from this investment. The equipment, which possesses a finite physical and economic life, inevitably requires replacement, and equipment maintenance costs increase with the equipment life. Different methodologies are employed to establish the replacement …

A Review on Structural Evaluation of Flexible Pavements using Falling Weight Deflectometer
Abstract: For rehabilitation design processes, the new Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design approach relies heavily on the material stiffness, back calculated from the deflection measurements taken from existing pavements. These measurements are typically made using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) or Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) units. In order to provide high quality and consistent material stiffness data for the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design the deflection results obtained at radial distance in between 0 and 1800 …
