Selecting a Sampling Plan for Reinforcement Bars
(Department of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering. Technical University of MombasaDepartment of Mechanical Engineering. Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and TechnologyDepartment of Mechanical Engineering. University of Nairobi, 2013)In this study we employ modern statistical methods to the sampling problem. The application of statistics by engineers dates back a long while in solving industrial, management, and research problems. Quality and ... -
Lathe stability charts via acoustic emission monitoring
(Department of Mechanical Engineering, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and TechnologyDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2001)Signal parameters characterizing acoustic emission (AE) detected during metal cutting have been theoretically correlated in a simple manner, to the work material properties, cutting conditions, and tool geometry. During ... -
Time And Space Management In Structural Analysis Problems
(Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Nairobi, 1998) -
An Investigation of the Mechanical Properties of Sisal Fibre, Loofah Matt And their Composites with Epoxy Resin
(Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Nairobi, 1997)The mechanical properties of sisal fibre, loofah matt, epoxy resin and their resulting composites were determined experimentally. The influence of volume fraction of the reinforcing fibres and matt on the mechanical ... -
Determination of Interfacial Bond Strength of Sisal Fibre Reinforced Epoxy composites
(Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Nairobi, 1995) -
Velocity Fields in Grease Lubricated Contacts Under Sliding Conditions
(Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Nairobi, 1988) -
Velocity Measurements Grease – Lubricating Film of a Sliding Contact
(Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2008)Experimental results of the velocity distribution in a grease-lubricated cylindrical sliding contact are obtained. A comparison is made with the theoretical results of a parabolic velocity distribution similar to that of ... -

Overstrain in flush optimal-chamfered cross-bored cylinders
(2006)A three-dimensional finite-element method computer program was developed to establish the elastic—plastic, residual, and service stress distributions in cylinders with flush and non-protruding optimal-chamfered cross-bores ... -
An evaluation of residual stress distribution in welded compact tension specimens using neutron diffraction
(Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2005)The neutron diffraction technique was used to determine the residual stress field in welded compact tension specimens of the aluminium-lithium alloy AA 2095. The deep penetrating characteristic of neutrons was exploited ... -
Stress characterization of autofrettaged thick-walled cylinders
(Department of Mechanical Engingeering, 2003)The inaccessibility of commercial software has necessitated the development of low-cost, general-purpose finite element method (FEM) computer programs for structural analysis. Using the FEM program, the elastic, elastic-plastic, ... -
Staff of the joint services division of eaafro/eavro executive and administration
(Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Nairobi, 1976) -
