Effect of lead rubber bearing isolation on steel structure response

The use of base isolators for the anti-seismic design of structures has attracted considerable interest in recent years. The main aim here [1] is to separate the structure from ground motions ensuring flexibility as well as energy dissipation’s aptitude through inserting isolation system between foundation and the superstructure. Conversely, in conventional anti-seismic design which resistance … Read more

IC (Internal combustion) engines

IC ENGINE An engine is a device which transforms chemical energy or heat energy into mechanical energy. However, while transforming energy from one form into another, efficiency of conversion plays an important role. IC engine transforms low grade energy into high grade energy; therefore, thermal efficiency of IC engine comes out to be in the … Read more

Sustainable Manufacturing (advantages /limitations)

According to CECIMO (1), Sustainable Manufacturing is when engineers use or create processes that are economical for the environment whilst not producing any hazards that can affect the surrounding environment as well as the employees/employers. Manufacturing is a process that affects the environment as we use raw materials such as metals that have an impact … Read more

Aluminum as a Commodity in Design

Introduction Aluminum is one of the most widely used metals today, second in usage only to steel. Aluminum is used extensively in the packaging, automotive, aerospace, and construction industries and becoming more common in both the consumer electronics and medical devices industries as well.  In 2017, global aluminum production exceeded 50 million tons.1 Despite the … Read more

Controlling water and water vapour

Controlling water and water vapour is fundamental to the proper functioning of any building. Controlling moisture is important to protect occupants from adverse health effects and to protect the building, its mechanical systems and its contents from physical or chemical damage. Yet, moisture problems are so common in buildings and can cause problems for building … Read more
