This study was Characteristics of manufacture particleboard (PB) from sedar and wood slab of impregnated with UF. The chips were divided into coarse chips with dimensions of 2-4 mesh and fine chips of 30–60 mesh, urea formaldehyde (UF) resin solution at concentrations of 45 %, and 55% sprayed on these chips about 1 min until 10% to dry weight chips, they were dried under 5% moisture in a dram d...

in this study, the performance of shred tire mixed with railway subgrade is evaluated to reduce environmental vibrations caused by trains’ passage. since incorporating the shred tire seeds in soil affects on its shear strength and deformability parameters so, the first stage of the study was allocated to conducting a series of laboratory tests such as the unconfined compression test, and cbr an...

Electronic controls cannot always compensate for the destabilization of a poorly designed vehicle caused by tire delamination. Axle tramp caused from rubber strips on the track showed axle skate [1]. Further research, reported at ESV 2007 [2] demonstrated that lumps on a single rear tire caused 15+ degrees/g of oversteer. The Engineering Institute has shown that the process of tire delamination...

The prevalence and severity of latex allergy has increased dramatically in the last 15 years due to exposure to natural rubber products. Although historically this health risk has been elevated in hospital personnel and patients, a recent survey has indicated a significant potential risk for the general population. To obtain a wide-spread source for latex exposure, we have considered tire debri...

The risk to adjacent aquatic systems posed by leachates from scrap tires used in engineering applications has not been characterized adequately. Toxicity testing, toxicity identification evaluation (TIE), and groundwater modeling were used to determine the circumstances under which tire shreds could be used as roadbed fill with negligible risk to aquatic organisms in adjacent water bodies. Elev...

nowadays network-on-chips is used instead of system-on-chips for better performance. this paper presents a new algorithm to find a shorter path, and shows that genetic algorithm is a potential technique for solving routing problem for mesh topology in on-chip-network.

Tire-tread material has a zinc (Zn) content of about 1 wt %. The quantity of tread material lost to road surfaces by abrasion has not been well characterized. Two approaches were used to assess the magnitude of this nonpoint source of Zn in the U.S. for the period 1936-1999. In the first approach, tread-wear rates from the automotive engineering literature were used in conjunction with vehicle ...

Among various dissipating mechanisms, the viscoelastic effect of rubber material on creation of rolling resistance is responsible for 10-33% dissipation of supplied power at the tire/road interaction surface. So, evaluating this kind of loss is very essential in any analysis concerned with improving the fuel consumption of vehicles and resultantly energy savage. Hysteretic loss is a fraction of...
