This study investigates and compares fatigue behavior of forged steel and powder metal connecting rods. A literature review on several aspects of connecting rods in the areas of load and stress analysis, durability, manufacturing, and optimization is also provided. The experiments included strain-controlled specimen testing, with specimens obtained from the connecting rods, as well as load-controlled connecting rod bench testing. Monotonic and cyclic deformation behaviors, as well as strain-controlled fatigue properties of t ....etc

Construction material subjected to repetitive or cyclic loading have to be qualified for their fatigue behaviour. Generally their behaviour is considered satisfactory if they withstand two million cycle of repetitive loading without distress or failure at that required mean stress level and range stress.

DETECTION OF DRIVER FATIGUE USING MECHATRONICS
ABSTRACT
Driver fatigue resulting from sleep deprivation or disorders is an important factor for the increasing number of accidents on today’s road. This paper aims at advancing a system, to detect fatigue symptoms in drivers and produce timely warnings that could prevent accidents. This is an approach for real-time detection of driver’s fatigue. The input to the system is a continuous stream of images from a video ca ....etc

At the onset of constant-load exercise in healthy humans, the rate of muscle metabolism increases to a steady state. However, when exercise is preceded by a bout of high-intensity or 'heavy exercise' several minutes prior, steady state is typically achieved more quickly. The aim of the present study was to study the metabolic effects of prior heavy exercise on a progressive exercise protocol, in which steady state is not achieved.

Fatigue Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Different FRP Laminate Configurations
Synopsis: This paper presents testing results of thirteen small-scale beams
strengthened using carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites tested under repeated
loads to investigate their fatigue behavior. The beams were strengthened using
different thicknesses and widths of composite laminates to identify parameters that
would generate different failure modes. Two predominant fatigue failure modes were
identified through these tes ....etc

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 History of Wheel/Rim
Several thousand years ago was the start of the history of wheel when the human race began to use the log to transport heavy objects. The original of the wheel were the round slices of a log and it was gradually re-inforced and used in this form for centuries on both carts and wagons.
This solid disc changed to a design having several spokes radially arranged ....etc

Summary
International statistics shows that a large number of roadaccidents are caused by driver fatigue. Therefore, a systemthat can detect oncoming driver fatigue and issue timelywarning could help to prevent many accidents, andconsequently save money and reduce personal suffering. Inthis proposed system security camera can be used that pointsdirectly towards the driver’s face and monitors the driver’seyes & mouth in order to detect fatigue. If the fatigue isdetected a warning signal is issued to alert the driver. The skincolor b ....etc
