Analysis and Design for Homogeneous Earth Slopes
Abstract: In an aspect of geotechnical engineering problems, slope stability is a condition of inclined soil, waste heaps to withstand or undergo movement. The slope is an unprotected ground surface that can be situated at an angle of horizontal. Slopes are necessitated in the construction of railway embankments and highways, levees, bridges, earth dams, reservoirs and canals, etc., and are generally less expansive. Failures of natural and man-made slopes have demise …

Hybrid Numerical–Artificial Neural Network Study of Chemically Reactive MHD Nanofluid Flow Incorporating Thompson–Troian Slip and Stefan Blowing
Abstract: Boundary layer behaviour in chemically reactive nanoliquid is significantly affected by surface conditions, magnetic fields, heat and mas transfer mechanisms. However, the combined impact of Stefan blowing and nonlinear Thompson–Troian slip under inclined magnetic fields remains mostly unexplored, particularly in mixed convection flows. In this research work, the flow of a chemically reactive nanoliquid over a permeable surface is investigated by considering the Troian slip, inclined magnetic fields, Stefan blowing, …

The Quicklift: Redefining Car Jack Dynamics & Design
Abstract: A Jack is a tool that aids in raising the vehicles without considerable physical efforts and thereby reducing strain injuries. This paper is about designed model of Jack and performing the static analysis (viz:structural) with the help of Solid works software. The outcomes obtained demonstrates that jack can be used safely. Additional improvements to be made in the jack is by modifying the vertical cylindrical bar so that it can …

Role of Polymer and Composite Materials in Enhancing Durability and Comfort of Urban Park Furniture for Senior Citizens
Abstract: Parks in urban areas are crucial in facilitating physical activities, socialization, and or mental health to the elderly citizens. Nonetheless, the traditional materials in outdoor park furniture may suffer in the form of low durability, weathering, ergonomics and maintenance, among other aspects and restrict long term applications of such furniture by the elderly population. The research question examined in the proposed study is: How can polymer-based and composite materials improve …

Geotechnical study of a landslide reactivation in clay soils (central Piedmont, NW Italy).
Abstract: In March 2015, exceptional meteoric events occurred in southern Piedmont caused a remarkable rise of the rivers water level of the Tanaro Basin with flooding and many landslides. The engineering geological study reported here, concerns a triggering of a previous landslide occurred in 1982 in the hills, shaped in the marine sedimentary succession (Lugagnano Clay, lower Pliocene) of the southern Asti Reliefs, near San Martino Alfieri village. Detailed geological, morphological …

Slope Stability Analysis by Swedish Slip Circle Method Using C-Programming
Abstract: The side slopes of an earthen dam should be safe against shear failure. Out of the various methods of stabilityanalysis of slopes, “Swedish Slip Circle Method” is commonly used in practice. Here in the Swedish circlemethod, potential failure surface is assumed to be cylindrical in shape (i.e., circular in cross section). Afterdetermining the actuating and resisting forces for assumed failure surface, the factor of safety is calculated. Theslope is considered …

Development of a Novel Analytical Framework for Investigating Non-Symmetric Deformation Behavior in Strip Rolling
Abstract: In recent years, the asymmetrical rolling process has attracted considerable research attention due to its ability to induce non-uniform deformation characteristics within metallic workpieces. In this context, the present study introduces a novel analytical framework for asymmetrical cold rolling based on an enhanced slab method, specifically designed to overcome the inherent limitations of existing analytical models when applied to a wide range of asymmetric rolling conditions. A newly developed mathematical …
