Abstract: Cadmium manganese telluride (CdMnTe) is one of the semiconductor materials with potential applications at room-temperature for nuclear and radiological detection. CdMnTe crystals grown by Bridgman technique are prone to tellurium inclusions and related defects that limit their performance as X-rays and gamma-rays detectors. The major reason for this is that they are grown in a tellurium-rich environment. These defects could trap charges that are generated by X-rays and gamma rays thereby degrading the charge transport properties of the detectors and reducing their carrier lifetime.............

Title | : | Identification of Probability of thermally induced Transient Vibration in CentrifugalCompressor |
Country | : | United Arab Emirates |
Authors | : | Mantosh Bhattacharya |
Abstract: It has been observed that a phenomenon known as "transient vibration "sometimes occurs in centrifugal compressorswith between bearing configuration during start- up just after a short shutdown. The phenomenon iscaused by a thermal induced bow which is similar to rotor bow occurring in large steam turbines during start-up.The occurrence of this phenomenon depends on certain operating conditions and loop configurations of centrifugal compressors.

Authors | : | Aboli A. Deshpande || S. B. Shinde || S. M. Dumne |
Abstract: This study contains four models of RC Building of regular, mass irregular, stiffness irregular and soft storey. The peak responses of irregular building models are compared with Peak responses of regular building model. This building model contains ten stories modeled as shear type lumped mass system with single degrees of freedom at each floor level. The governing equation of motion is solved using Numark's method and is solved using coding in MATLAB software. From numerical results it is stated that peak responses of soft storey model gives better control over structural responses under various earthquakes except in some models.

Title | : | Estimation of the Period of Vibration of Existing Egypt RC Building Based on Experimental Data and Numerical Results Under the Effect of Soil-Structure Interaction |
Country | : | Egypt |
Authors | : | Ayman M. Ismail || Ahmed Mohey Ibrahim |
Abstract: Most seismic design codes generally provide formulas to be used for the estimation of the base shear and lateral loads. For the determination of the lateral loads, it is required to estimate first the fundamental vibration period of the building theoretically or experimentally. This fundamental period and its length are relevant to earthquake engineering applications on existing buildings, and must be treated very carefully. In various current codes and in the recommendations of many researches, empirical formulas relate the building fundamental period of vibration (T) to the building overall height (H) or the number of stories (N) without consideration of the soil structure interaction (SSI)...........

Abstract: In this present investigation, dry sliding wear behavior of AA 6061 nanocrystalline and AA 6061-2 weight percentages (2 wt. %) of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanocomposites prepared by 30 h of mechanical alloying (MA) was investigated. Dry sliding wear behavior of prepared nanocomposites at room temperature was estimated by a pin-on-disc wear testing apparatus. Oil hardened non shrinking (OHNS) steel disc was used as the counter face material. Wear tests were conducted for normal loads of 5, 7 and 10 N at various sliding speed such as 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 m/s with the varying sliding distances (500 m, 1000 m and 1600 m). It was found that..............

Title | : | Behavior Of Reinforced Concrete T. Beams With Welded Mesh Reinforcement Under Repeated Load |
Country | : | Egypt. |
Authors | : | Dr. Aly Abdel-Zaher Elsayed |
Abstract: This investigation concerned with the use of steel bars as orthogonal reinforcement for reinforced concrete beams known as mesh reinforcement for beam construction. In practice most beams are designed with only tension reinforcement (singly reinforced). However, in certain situations it might be necessary to design beams with both tensile and compression reinforcement (doubly reinforced). For example when beam cross section is limited because of architectural or other considerations, it may happen that the concrete cannot develop the compression force required to resist the given bending moment in some cases if a beam is designed with only tensile reinforcement...........

Title | : | Design and Development of Effective braking system for Pneumatic Tyer Bullock Carts |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Yogesh S. Patil || Ganesh H. Kawade |
Abstract: TIndia is a country where the main occupation is agriculture. More than 3/5th of India's population is employed in this sector. Sugarcane is the largest crop cultivated in Indian farms. Bullock cart is the one of the two main transportation media used to transport sugarcane from agricultural land to the sugar factories. Bullocks used for this purpose suffer various problems. The main problem related with bullock cart is speed control. It is observed that to control speed of cart, cart riders do dangerous experiments like application of brake manually by directly putting wood in front of wheels, sitting backside of cart, applying tremendous force on bulls etc. Because of such unscientific methods major accident happens which causes major casualties. The purpose of present work is to provide scientific solution to control speed of cart.

Abstract: Smooth-running of internal combustion engine is possible because of exhaust valve. Role of the exhaust valve is to pass on the exhaust gases to the exhaust manifold from the combustion chamber. During the operation of internal combustion engine, exhaust valves are subjected to the axial stresses due to exhaust gas pressure, cyclic stresses due to return spring load, thermal stresses due to very high temperature inside the combustion chamber and inertia force arising on the account of valve assembly. The result of which maximum stress concentration is at the junction of fillet and valve stem of exhaust valve.

Title | : | Reducing Thermal Cracks and Mitigating Heat Island by Using Glass Bead in Concrete Pavement |
Country | : | Turkey |
Authors | : | Erhan Burak Pancar |
Abstract: It is desired to reduce pavement high surface temperature in summer to mitigate urban heat island (UHI) effect. High surface temperature also induces high possibility of thermal cracks. The prime aim of this study was to reduce concrete pavement surface temperature by using glass beads in concrete mixture. 10%, 20% and 30% proportions of glass beads were used for this purpose. Mechanical properties of samples were examined and the optimum proportion for glass beads was determined. It was detected that highest surface temperature was reduced 10ºC by using glass bead in concrete mixture. This treatment helps to mitigate heat island and reduce thermal cracks.
