Investigation on Nylon PA66 side arms using Taguchi and ANOVA analysis in reducing cost of producing urinary catheters
(Praise Worthy Prize, 2011-11)
This article discusses on a research experience and finding based on a collaboration with a medical equipment manufacturer in producing urinary catheters. The manufacturer had been spending high cost yearly to replace more ...
Active vibration control of flexible beam system using proportional control scheme in finite difference simulation platform
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)
This paper presents the development of dynamic model of flexible beam structure using finite difference method. The simulated model is validated by comparing the resonance modes with the theoretical values. Simple proportional ...
An approach to mechanization and automation of manual construction activity
(Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l., 2011-11)
Construction industry is very important to the developing country like Malaysia. Many challenges and difficulties must be faced by the developers of this particular field. Warszawski et. al [1] has reported that there are ...
CFD analysis for merdeka 2 solar vehicle
(American Scientific Publishers, 2011)
Vehicle's low drag force is critical to achieve higher speed and for efficient energy usage. Most solar vehicles that participated in the World Solar Challenge event adopted the 'cockroach' shape which has been considered ...
Morphology and phase evolution in microwave synthesized Al/Fe 3O 4 system
(2011)
Thermite reaction between Al/Fe 3O 4raised by microwave (MW) heating under N2 atmosphere has been investigated, and compared with that by the electric furnace. In addition to the stoichiometric ratio for the production of ...
Effects of genetic algorithm parameters on multiobjective optimization algorithm applied to system identification problem
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)
The growing interest in multiobjective optimization algorithms and system identification resulted in a huge research area. System identification is about developing a mathematical model for representing the system observed. ...
Semi-batch operated constructed wetlands planted with Phragmites australis for treatment of dyeing wastewater
(Taylor's University College, 2011-10)
The objective of present study is to evaluate the using of constructed wetland under semi-batch operation for the treatment of azo dye Acid Orange 7 (AO7) containing wastewater. The emergent plant selected in our study was ...
A study on two plate and three plate mold of ultra thin plates in minimizing warpage issue
(Praise Worthy Prize, 2011-11)
The demand of ultra thin plastic parts in global industries is increasing today. Ultra thin plastic parts are widely produced using injection molding processes and it is understood that warpage issue is regularly found in ...
Optimization of tile laying process parameters using taguchi's method
(Praise Worthy Prize, 2011-11)
This paper discusses the use of the Taguchi method of experimental design in optimizing process parameters of adhesion strength between tile and mortar bed. The effects of four process parameters of force, thinset mortar ...
Discontinuities detection in welded joints based on inverse surface thresholding
(Elsevier Ltd., 2011)
Automated detection of welding defects in radiographic images becomes nontrivial when uneven illumination, contrast and noise are present. In this paper, a new approach using surface thresholding method is proposed to ...
