A buckling analysis of an isotropic circular plate with piezoceramic annular plate attached to it is presented. The annular plate is attached at the circular plate edge so that the radius of the circular plate is the inner radius of the annular plate. The piezoceramic annular plate is used as the radial in-plane load source. The radial and hoop str

لقد اهتم المفسرون بنظم القرآن عند تفسيرهم للقرآن الكريم مثل اهتمام البلاغيين به تماما أو أكثر منهم. وأبرز المفسرين الذين اعتنوا به هم الأئمة: الرازي، والحرالي، والبقاعي، والفراهي، وابن عاشو

Many a Qur’anic concept has been misunderstood and misinterpreted by both protagonists and antagonists. JihÉd is one such Qur’anic term. Today its meaning, purpose, and application appear confusing. The most popular import of this term is war against the enemies of Islam. Does this meaning of jihÉd commensurate with its Qur’anic usage? Or h

During and after the caliphate of the third Caliph, ‘UthmÉn ibn ‘AffÉn people from different backgrounds and persuasions with criminal mentality tried to corrupt the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.). Muslim scholars, on the other hand, did not remain silent spectators of the alarming situation; they rose to the occasion and did all tha

Transducers are used for many different applications in industry such as liquid-level sensing, pH monitoring, or gas pressure recording. However, sometimes these sensors need to be located in areas where wiring is not possible, such as in application of implanted biomedical devices. Some challenges that that must be overcome include the wireless po

Background: To evaluate patients’ awareness, functional outcome, and satisfaction after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. Methods: A study-specific questionnaire was developed with collaboration of a multidisciplinary team. Lists of patients who underwent elective open AAA repair and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) between January 2006

Conventionally the selection of parameters depends intensely on the operator’s experience or conservative technological data provided by the EDM equipment manufacturers that assign inconsistent machining performance. The parameter settings given by the manufacturers are only relevant with common steel grades. A single parameter change influences

In this paper, closed-form solutions corresponding to the motion of a second-grade fluid through porous space have been established by means of the Laplace transform. The fluid is assumed to be electrically conducting in the presence of a uniform magnetic field and occupies the porous space over an infinite flat plate. Three haracteristic examples

This paper develops a single order mathematical model for correlating various electrical discharge machining (EDM) parameters and performance characteristics by utilizing relevant experimental data obtained through experimentation. In addition to the effect of peak ampere, the effect of pulse on time and pulse off time on surface roughness has also
