Biodiesel is an environment friendly liquid biofuel similar to petro-diesel in terms of fuel quality and combustion characteristics. Increasing environmental concerns, fast depleting petroleum reserves and agriculture based ...

This paper introduces finite element analysis of Run off Mine (ROM) silo subjected to dynamic loading. The proposed procedure is based on the use of theoretical equations to come up with pressure and forces1 exerted by ...

Floods are natural hazards that have always created an unexpected threat to human life and property. When severe floods occur in areas occupied by humans, they can create natural disasters that involve the loss of human ...

When an external load is applied to one of its ends, a pipe’s bends cross section tends to deform significantly both in and out of its end plane. This shell type behaviour characteristic of pipe bends and mainly due to ...

There is a lot of research being done worldwide in harnessing clean energy, like solar energy and injecting it into existing electricity grids. This project looks at modeling, simulation and optimization of utility ...

The performance of door assembly is very significant for the vehicle design. In the present paper, the finite element method is used in the development processes of the door assembly. The stiffness, strength, modal ...

Abstract: By increased rural-urban migration in many African countries, the assessment of changes in catchment hydrologic responses due to urbanization is critical for water resource planning and management. This paper ...
