Roads are subjected to vehicle traffics with different loads and velocities. Geogrid reinforcement is of the best methods for road improvement due to the ease of construction, delay in damage development and financial efficiency. This study evaluates pavement response under different loads and velocities, before and after geogrid reinforcement. A finite element software (ABAQUS) is used for num...

Abstract The original configuration of 3D layer-to-layer angle-interlock (LLA) woven fibers cannot be maintained during matrix impregnation and is unstable when the composite subjected to loading. in yarn are susceptible lateral sliding, resulting deformation textile geometry. initial modulus warp direction smaller can inconsistent owing geometry fabric. A stable (SLLA) fabric was devised by co...

Using ANSYS finite element (FE) package, a multi-physics simulation model based on finite element method (FEM) is introduced for the multi-layer switched reluctance motor (SRM) in the present paper. The simulation model is created totally in ANSYS parametric design language (APDL) as a parametric model usable for various conventional types of this motor and it is included electromagnetic, therm...

the built up layer thickness in secondary deformation zone is one of the important parameters in metal cutting process. the built up layer (bul) is formed in second deformation zone near the tool-chip interface in the back of the chip. this parameter influences the tool life and machined surface quality. this bul should not be confused with the built up edge (bue). the deformation of the bul in...
