Fiber-reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) are rubber-based seismic devices introduced as a low-cost alternative to steel-reinforced elastomeric isolators (SREIs).They are generally used in unbonded applications, i.e., friction is used to transfer the lateral loads from the upper to the lower structure.Under combined axial and shear loads, the
Coal mining activities Shocks using the open pit mining method can affect depreciation of the quality of the surrounding environment, one of which has an impact on reducing the classification criteria for soil chemical properties.The soil organic matter shrinks after being mined due to the lifting of the top layer due to the dismantling of the coal
Many studies have been conducted to better understand the relationship between additive manufacturing (AM) process parameters and the resulting structure and properties of manufactured parts.It is quite clear that defects associated with AM parts are detrimental to part performance and are thus a major concern for a broader application of AM proces
The evaluation of power demand is fundamental in the Economic Load Dispatch problem, ensuring that the generated power meets the needs of consumers reliably and efficiently in planning system operations.This paper presented two approaches using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to evaluate the p
It is important to analyze the cause of an accident so as to prevent further incidents of a similar kind.Variation Tree Analysis (VTA) and Why-Why analysis are accident investigation methods to analyze an accident due to human factors in Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation.VTA is the method to employ time series analysis of the circumstances at the tim
