Muscle contractions that load in-series springs with slow speed over a long duration do maximal work and store the most elastic energy. However, time constraints, such as those experienced during escape and predation behaviours, may prevent animals from achieving maximal force capacity from their muscles during spring-loading. Here, we ask whether animals that have limited time for elastic ener...

As the head of Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Centre and a member of the Editorial Board, I am delighted to preface this edition of IJPR, with appreciation of all the efforts behind it. Health research should be considered as a tool to help policy makers, industries and others to tackle problems, improve the quality of life and build healthy communities. So, besides basic research, that ha...

A prismatic beam made of a behaviorally nonlinear material is analyzed under aharmonic load moving with a known velocity. The vibration equation of motion is derived usingHamilton principle and Euler-Lagrange Equation. The amplitude of vibration, circular frequency,bending moment, stress and deflection of the beam can be calculated by the presented solution.Considering the response of the beam,...

In this paper, a new design of permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) for electromagnetic launcher system (EMLs) has been investigated in terms of the requisite amount of average launching thrust force and thrust force ripple minimization through finite element method. EMLs are a kind of technology used to develop thrust force and launch heavy loads with different applications includ...

In this work, the nonlocal elastic waves in a fluid conveying armchair thermo elastic single walled carbon nanotube under moving harmonic load is studied using Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory via Euler Bernoulli beam equation. The governing equations that contains partial differential equations for single walled carbon nanotube is derived by considering thermal and Lorenz magnetic force. The...

Abstract   Introduction: Hemoglobin Constant Spring (Hb CS),  a abnormal Hb characterized by elongated α-globin chain resulting from mutations of the termination codon in the α2 - globin gene , is the most common nondelitional  α-thalassemic mutation and is an important cause of HbH like disease in Southeast Asia. Case Report: A 9- years-old female with immune hemolytic anemia and splenomegally...

The leaf spring is widely used in automobiles and one of the components of suspension system. It needs to have excellent fatigue life. As a general rule, the leaf spring must be regarded as a safety component as failure could lead to severe accidents. The purpose of this paper is to predict the fatigue life of semi-elliptical steel leaf spring along with analytical stress and deflection calcula...

An automobile industry have an interest in replacement of conventional leaf spring with composite leaf spring to get better performance with less weight. This paper deals with by replacing the conventional leaf spring with composite leaf spring. The dimensions of an existing conventional steel leaf spring of a light commercial vehicle were taken to fabricate the special die which is further use...
