This paper focuses on the development of bond graph dynamic model of the mechanical dynamics of an excavating mechanism previously designed to be used with small tractors, which are fabricated in the Engineering Workshops ...

The safety and reliability of medical equipment is mandatory. Equipment may be used on the patients who are unconscious. Other types of medical equipment function as life support and their failure may result in the ...

The hoop stress and stress concentration factor distributions in a closed ended thick-walled cylinder with a chamfered cross bore under intemt,al pressure were inaestigated. The finite element method of stress analysis ...

The effect of Fe content on the fluidity of recycled aluminium silicon cast alloy has been investigated in both un-modified and Mn-neutralized states by spiral fluidity test. Increasing Fe decreases the fluidity due to the ...

A computational model was developed to simulate elastic and plastic behavior in Body Centered Cubic (BCC) metals and alloys. The model provided for simultaneous simulation of the micro and macro length scales and used ...

The research paper evaluated the existing facilities maintenance management practices and processes in major hospitals in Kenya. The facility managers from major hospitals were interviewed on medical equipment management. ...

This paper numerically investigates the parametric effects of differently located frictionless revolute clearance joints on the overall dynamic characteristics of a multi-body system. A typical planar slider–crank mechanism ...

A three-dimensional finite-element method computer program was developed to establish the elastic–plastic, residual, and service stress distributions in cylinders with flush and non-protruding optimal-chamfered cross-bores ...

Computer simulations were conducted to determine the elastic stress concentration factors in the vicinity of an elliptical cross-bore in a closed ended thick walled cylinder. The orientation of the elliptical cross-bore with ...
