Vyas Sanjay Safety and Reliability

Submitted by SanjayVyas on
Debate 2012 Summary

ALARP (As Low as Reasonably Practical) principle is one of the key techniques used to demonstrate application of Safety Management System on a Project /Worksite. It requires that hazards to personnel and the environment are identified, risks from these hazards are understood and that all reasonably practicable steps are taken to minimise the identified risks. It is similar to Best Available Technique which is applied to minimise environmental impacts from activity, product or services.

Safety Engineering and Risk Management Debate 2012

Pipeline is a safe and reliable mode of transportation and distribution of oil and gas. It is also an economical and dependable mode of transportation particularly to the sensitive and strategic areas where vessels cannot access easily. It provides a long term infrastructural option and solves difficulties in handling large volume of products by rail from one loading point to another and therefore reduces minimum transit loss.

finite element analysis
Optimization
Molecular Modeling

The Laboratory for Computational Biology and Biophysics at MIT (http://lcbb.mit.edu/) is seeking a highly motivated recent PhD graduate with expertise in nonlinear finite element analysis, ideally in the area of beam theory, with a keen interest in applying this knowledge to molecular modeling of DNA-based nanostructures. The candidate must have excellent written and verbal communication skills, PhD-level training in finite element analysis, and a strong record of publishing archival journal articles.

Modeling of the muscle-like actuation in soft dielectrics: deformation mode and electromechanical stability

Submitted by Bo Li on
research
dielectric elastomer
instability
pure shear
wrinkles

Soft dielectric elastomer is able to generate an

electromechanical response in terms of reversible shape

changing, which is a muscle-like behavior. The deformation

and electromechanical stability of dielectric elastomers,

classified by their deformation modes, uniaxial extension,

equal biaxial expansion and pure shear, are investigated.

Pull-in instability occurs in equal biaxial and uniaxial modes

at a small stretch ratio, while the pure shear mode features

wrinkling instability after a large stable deformation. The
