Automotive Gearbox Design Based on Reliability
Abstract: A company’s reputation is very closely attached to the reliability of its products. The more reliable a product is, the more likely the company is to have a good reputation. A reliable product may not drastically affect customer satisfaction in a positive manner. However, an unreliable product will definitely attract customer dissatisfaction; thus, high reliability is a quite essential requirement for customer satisfaction. Design for reliability refers to the ability …

Assessment of Liquefaction Potential Index for Sylhet City considering Maximum and Average Amplification Factor
Abstract: Soil liquefaction often occurs in saturated or partially saturated silty or sandy soil when an earthquake generates dynamic cyclic stress in the soil mass, reducing shear strength and stiffness. This study aims to assess the seismic soil liquefaction hazard potential for Sylhet City using shear wave velocity profiles of 49 boreholes. Factor of Safety (FOS) was evaluated taking into account shear wave velocity and maximum intensity of surface acceleration corresponding …
