Generally, the methods for the weight reduction of automobiles are using the materials with low density and high strength/stiffness to weight ratio.
Recently, the low density of magnesium alloys has motivated the development of structural Mg alloys for automobiles, where weight reduction is needed to achieve high fuel efficiency [1, 2].
Based on the data from XRD and EDS spectra, the small particles appear to be Mg3Sb2 and Al4Sr, respectively.

Temperature data logs and video cameras were used to measure the foam recovery as a function of time.
The lower volume contains the control unit including the heating system, a camera and the experiment unit with its data acquisition system.

At the same time, data calculation can provide the theoretical evidence for the factory manufacturing lines.
It is an approximation algorithm that discards the no-linear factor in the structural construction, but data of such kind method is not as accurate as the actual structure of the construction and installation.
As for the live load factor, considering the transverse fold reduction of the train, the value of reduction coefficient changes with the increase of the number of lanes.
By using the ultimate cumulative displacement and the data of target design linear, we can calculate the stress free alignment required in the design of steel box girder, and manufacturing alignment.

This result is also comparable to other data obtained in previously studied work which employed the same conventional treatment parameters.
Despite the benefits of the automotive oil listed above, these viscous liquids de-grade when exposed to severe build-up of temperature, thus leading to reduction in properties such as: viscosity, specific gravity, etc.
With increased time of usage, the lubricating oil loses its lubricating properties as a result of over-reduction of desired properties, and thus must be evacuated and a fresh one replaced [1].
This finding is however, contrary to that of Koh [2] where he traced reduction in treatment efficiency at low temperatures such as 15oC to either poor agitation at high viscosity or failure to attain equilibrium at that temperature.

All researches have presented their experimental data which could justify the criterion they presented.
Besides, the experimental data is quite fit with the forming limit curve predicted by Cockcroft criterion.

Therefore, increasing inductance results in the reduction of inrush current frequency, its rate of change and overvoltage at busbar.
Conclusion The simulation of capacitor bank switching in 115 kV substation is presented in this work by using actual data from substation.

By applying this new model to not only the results obtained in this study but also to previously published data, its generality and validity were sufficiently verified.
It is interesting to note that the less the initial pores the smaller the reduction of strength due to increase in porosity.

The vehicle-induced responses of the bridge in the damaged state are used as input data for damage identification and the response sensitivities with respect to the damage indices of the elements are calculated to establish the sensitivity matrix.
The vehicle-induced responses of the bridge in the damaged state are used as input data for damage identification and the response sensitivities with respect to the damage indices of the elements are computed to establish the sensitivity matrix.
The damage index of the bridge can be denoted as the relative reduction ratio of the norm of the element stiffness.
Assuming the damage index is related only to the stiffness of the dynamic system, the following differentiation equation can be achieved: (3) It is noted that the velocity response and the displacement response, computed from Eq. (1), are the input data for Eq. (3).
The vehicle-induced responses of the bridge in the damaged state are used as input data for damage identification and the response sensitivities with respect to the damage indices of the elements are computed to establish the sensitivity matrix.

All of the signals captured from the impact test were recorded using a ballistic data acquisition system.
This weight reduction results in improved mobility, fuel efficiency and transportability of armoured vehicles [1].
This instrument was connected to a ballistic data acquisition system to record the responses from the impact test.
The test machine consists of five main components, which are the catch chamber, ballistic data acquisition system, pressure reservoir unit, the firing mechanism unit and the launching unit.
The response signals from each test specimen were recorded using a ballistic data acquisition system.

Using secondary data, the paper identifies the benefits of vegetation in and around buildings to include improvement of indoor air quality through the aesthetics quality of the environment and concludes that vegetation in and around building will in no small measure contributes to saving energy consumption.
According to [2], the building sector has the largest potential for delivering long term, significant and cost-effective greenhouse gas emission reductions and thereby recommended improving building energy efficiency to mitigate greenhouse gas emission and climate change.
The paper employs secondary data to elicit information on the impact of vegetation on solar control towards enhanced thermal comfort and energy performance in building Building Envelope and Thermal Comfort in Buildings The building envelope is the intermediate barrier (separating boundary) between the outdoor and the indoor environment.
The large-scale use of cool materials in urban areas leads also to indirect energy savings due to the increased solar reflectance that contributes to the reduction of the air temperature because of surface heat balance at the urban level.
