across the Northern Aegean Sea, central and mainland Greece, eventually linking with the Hellenic subduction zone (e.g. Barka 1992; Barka et al. 2000; Sengor et al. 2005). The NAF is part of a larger zone of deformation called the North Anatolian Shear Zone (NASZ), but currently seismic activity is largely confined to the narrow, mostly through-going NAF (Sengor et al. 1985; Sengor et al. 2005). The NAF lies along the boundary between

Area of the Long Point Fault The Long Point Fault is located in Harris County, which covers 83,450 square miles located with in Houston, Teaxas City Limits. Research specifies that there are three sections of the Long Point fault that appear to be active; some sections of the Long Point fault have averaged more than 2 cm per year of vertical offset over the last 20 years. Evidence of the faults concludes it is a natural fault. The reason for activity is not caused by man, even though man’s activities

1920’s, pavement design consisted mainly of major thicknesses of layered materials to provide strength and protection to weak subgrade. The pavement design was predominantly against subgrade shear failure. During those times, experience based on success and failures of previous projects was used to formulate pavement design methods. As time wore on and experience grew, several design methods based on shear strength were developed. Meanwhile, the increased traffic volume led to changes in the design criteria

Maharashtra, India Abstract In this thesis the Optimization of Number of Spot welds on Automobile Wheel Rim using Finite Element Analysis is studied. Spot welded rim must pass certain tests like Weld Strength Test (WST), Dynamic Cornering Fatigue Test (DCFT) and Radial Fatigue Test (RFT). In Weld Strength test a shear force is applied on the spot weld using Universal Testing Machine. In dynamic cornering fatigue Test a moment is applied on the rim as specified by the company standards. In Radial Fatigue Test

initial dispersion of the binder in the powder depends upon viscosity and shear rate applied. (Schaefer, 1996) Binder viscosity also controls the consolidation rate and hence subsequent growth via coalescence. (Ennis, et al., 1991). Results from Rough et al (2005) showed that increased temperature (lower viscosity), the regimes are reached faster because the binder is able to distribute more effectively in the mixture at a given shear rate which is in accordance with the work reported by Schaefer et al

swelling. This phenomenon occurs as the solvent penetrates the matrix. Gel-gel interactions are replaced by gel solvent interactions. The degree of swelling depends on the number of linkages between individual molecules of gelling agent and on the strength of these linkages7, 8. B) Syneresis Many gels often contract spontaneously on standing and exude some fluid medium. This effect is known as syneresis. The degree to which syneresis occurs, increases as the concentration of gelling agent decreases

Intake manifold of throttle-body injection/carburetion engines are designed to provide optimum flow of air-fuel mixture and to reduce the chances of the vaporized fuel re-condensation. Intake manifold runners on these engines have a few bends as possible. And it is one of the primary components regarding the performance of an internal combustion engine. An intake manifold is usually made up of a plenum, throttle body connected to the plenum and runners depending on the number of cylinders, which

COMPOSITES COURSEWORK DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A LAMINATED COMPOSITE TUBE ABSTRACT This report details the process for the design of a composite laminate tube, the software package 'MathCAD' was used to determine a lamina design with a configuration that avoids mechanical failure under loading conditions. It was also used to obtain twist angles and maximum stresses for specific lamina wind up angles. The report will provide analysis of the methods used to obtain these criteria. AIM Use a Mathcad
