Purpose: The choice of preventive measures and labour protection equipment should be justified taking into account the occupational risk. For objective reasons, existing approaches do not provide an opportunity to justify the choice of the necessary measures, which best reduce the occupational risk level. Consequently, an effective methodological approach to justify preventive measures is required,...

The study is carried out in Rohtak city of India during paddy stubble burning months i.e., October and November. The different models are compared to check their respective efficacies and also sensitivity analysis is performed...
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to highlight the main problems that arise during the final stage of oil field development. Based on the identified problems using the EORgui program, Petroleum Solutions Ltd it is necessary to select the most effective method to increase oil recovery and study the most optimal tertiary oil recovery method using a hypothetical field model as an example, which...
Purpose: Materials with porosity gradient functionally gradient properties reflect changes in the material's position spatially in response to changes in porosity. One porous metal comprised the FGM core and had not previously been considered in bending analyses. Design/methodology/approach: Analytical formulations were derived based on the classical beam theory (CBT). According to the power-law scheme,...
Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of plastic waste as fine aggregates to partial replacement of sand reinforced with inorganic pigment from red stone to manufacture paving block for pedestrian application. This is an effort not only to reduce plastic waste in the environment but also as an innovative way to find out an alternative eco-friendly paving block material for...
Purpose: The main aim of this research is to analyse the effects of the laser cutting parameters on the kerf width of stainless steel (2505), and develop a model of laser cutting that can predict the relation between the characteristics of the resultant kerf width and the process input parameters. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve the minimum kerf width; the optimal setting of the effecting...
Purpose: Water is vital for the sustenance of every life form. Urbanization, growing population and industrial development has led to exploitation of water resources globally. This study assesses quality of water resources of Mohammedia prefecture. Design/methodology/approach: The water quality analysis was carried out based on physio-chemical and heavy metal concentrations. The physio-chemical analysis...
Purpose: This paper describes the study of the connection with loose fixing composite rings of pipe flanges. The elastic properties of the joint components - gasket, pressure flanges, rings and fixing bolts were determined experimentally. Design/methodology/approach: The criterion of joint tightness was formulated. The constructed model was used to determine the analytical dependence of the joint...
Purpose: of the article is to develop a digital portable gas temperature meter in the range of -50…+600°C. To measure the temperature of dusty gas flows in the air pollution sources with the least significant digit of the digital device 1°C. Design/methodology/approach: The microprocessor measuring unit, probe and software is proposed. It leads to build a high-precision temperature meter based on...
Purpose: This research aims to analyse the influence of blanking clearance size on the burr development for mild steel sheet, brass and aluminium. The main reason for this research is estimating the burr size on blank parts. It is still significant since the quality of the products is determined by evaluating the amount of allowable burr in the parts. Design/methodology/approach: For the blanking...
Purpose: The structure WASP’S GAIA house printed without beams and columns; therefore, it’s not safe enough against earthquake or wind. Moreover, the structure printed layer by layer doesn’t present a good stability for build other floor in seismic zones. The aim of this work is to study stability of this house and give new technique to improve stability of the ecological house printed in 3D. Design/methodology/approach:...
Purpose: Many manufacturers have recently become interested in using fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) in structural applications. Synthetic fibres, such as carbon and glass fibres, have been commercialised internationally for decades, but they cause environmental issues because synthetic fibres are non-biodegradable and difficult to recycle once they have served their purpose, potentially...
Purpose: This paper presents an overview on some ceramic materials capable of achieving in-situ reinforcements in Al/Al-alloy metal matrix composites (MMCs) during laser processing. It also presents perspective on further exploitation of the in-situ reinforcement capabilities for high quality MMCs feedstock material development. Design/methodology/approach: The approach utilized in writing this paper...
Purpose: The objective of this article is the analysys of methods for preventing and eliminating hydrates formations, classifying them and choosing the best ones for use in underground gas storage facilities. Comprehensive measures for the stable operation of gas storage facilities in the presence of conditions for the occurrence of hydrates formations were developed. Zones, being potentially prone...
Purpose: Mathematical modelling of the process of deformation of pipeline, transporting gasliquid mixtures with aggressive components and a comparative analysis of the value of the specified velocity depending on the dynamic viscosity of the multicomponent gas mixture is conducted. Design/methodology/approach: A mathematical model of the process of leakage of the transported product due to the loss...
Purpose: This paper aims to prepare depolymerized polyethylene terephthalate (DPET) powder from recycled plastic water bottles. Adding this DPET powder to the cement mortar was also studied. Design/methodology/approach: The adopted PET depolymerization process includes the usage of both ethylene glycol (EG) as solvent and nano-MgO as a catalyst. A bubble column reactor was designed for this process...
Purpose: of this paper is to provide operational tension control of fabric on knitting equipment using ultrasonic contactless transducers to improve the quality characteristics of the finished product.
