in industries, preventive maintenance (pm) is not a new practice to minimise the sudden breakdown of production machine. pm will be performed at predetermine intervals to provide a balance between failure cost and component utilisation (aging). however, most of pm interval is based on experience or original equipment manufacturer (oem) recommendations. consequently, the benefits from pm are not...

riverbank erosion, land loss and associated sedimentation are river engineering and water resources management problems of global significance. the ability to predict riverbank stability on eroding rivers is the prerequisite of developing a channel width adjustment model and is essential for estimating riverbank erosion and associated sedimentation. in this research, a detailed model for stabil...

the study of flight vehicle structures reveals the importance of obtaining the most suitable accuracy compatible with construction. for this purpose, several experiments were conducted at the agard institute. in this paper the results of one such experiment performed on a sample airplane wing are presented. aircraft structural engineers use several methods to model these structures. specifing h...
