Abstract

Airborne hazards in the workplace cause illness and fatalities when dust and chemicals are inhaled at a workplace (UKHSE 2015). Besides breathing in airborne dust, another danger is that explosions start when dust ignites from sparking machinery especially from circular saws (Hedlund et al. 2014). The amount and type of airborne dust is regulated by the HSE. The Quantitative Risk Management Framework was identified as practical method for evaluating and finding solutions to control airborne dusts that cause explosions and health problems. Another evaluation tool is the Control Banding Tool that was developed specifically to assess the risk of ...

Concrete – one of the most common materials used in the construction of residential buildings, industrial, administrative, social, commercial buildings, etc. an important step in the construction of certain buildings is the reinforcement of concrete. Not so long ago, the reinforcement was made with metal or steel rods.

The main types of composite reinforcement

The rods made of glass, carbon, basalt or aramid fibers and those that have undergone special processing, are called non-metallic fittings. There are several varieties. The classification is based on the fiber ...

History of Manufacturing Engineering

The history of manufacturing engineering can be raced back to the 19TH century in the United States and to 18TH century in the United Kingdom when home based mass production gained roots in the industrial productions in the two countries. However, many historic scholars view Matthew Boulton Soho`s manufactory that was established in Birmingham in 1761 as the beginning of the modern production firms. There are similar claims attributed to John Lombe`s silk mill that was constructed in 1721 at Derby or 1771 Cromford mill done by Richard Arkwright (In Quickenden, In Baggott & In Dick, 2013). Significant ...

The European renaissance was a time for people to rediscover philosophies from the Greek and Roman culture. These influences changed aspects to the English literature for the better. During the medieval times, dramas consisted of focusing on religious themes but with the rebirth the renaissance brought tragedies and comedies became the norm for stories and plays. Authors, such as William Shakespeare and Chaucer, began creating works that the held their beliefs on what the world and life were like. This paved the way for many other authors to base their literary works off of what they believed instead of ...

Introduction

Reciprocating engines is a well-known technology which can be used in automobiles, trucks, construction equipment, marine propulsion, and backup power applications. It involves the expansion of hot gases to push a piston within a cylinder, converting the linear movement of the piston into the rotating movement of a crankshaft to generate power. While the steam engines that powered the industrial revolution were driven by externally-produced steam, modern reciprocating engines used for electric power generation are internal combustion engines in which an air-fuel mixture is compressed by a piston and ignited within a cylinder. Reciprocating internal combustion (IC) engines are characterized by the type of combustion: ...

Summary overview:

The manufacture of beers has been in existence for quite a long while. Similarly, Keg beer has also been around for decades, although it has gone through a series of evolution to make it more desirable to consumers. In the process of all the evolution, the keg has become cost efficient and significantly reduced in its weight. From its initial manufacture, kegs were stored in wooden materials. This later changed as technology advanced, to usage of synthetic kegs which can withhold high pressures. The assembly of keg is simply a process of few steps such as collection of the keg components, ...

Construction of a Fire Pit Ring

There has been an increase in the number of people constructing a fire pit ring around their homes or camping sites for leisure purposes. The choice of material used in such projects is dependent on the financial impact it will have on the overall project. Many people, therefore, choose cheaper but most effective materials for construction. The ring makes the pit stable as well as increasing its ability to sustain a fire for log hours before it goes out. I am interested in this project because of its neat appearance, solid construction and it is very easy to build. The ...

Production processes have been revolutionized by technology. This is because technology has shaped the way products, processes and goods are produced. Technology has enabled people to simulate designs of very complex engines, aircraft models, combustion components and control centers of large ships. Though very complicated, such processes have been understood by carrying out an analysis of the product’s commodity chain. This helps in understanding the production and development of the product. Commodity chain refers to a chain of activities that consist of the labor and production activities, aimed at producing a finished product (Bair 2). These key areas work independently ...

Introduction

D1.3 welding code was developed to encompass structural arc welding of strip or sheet steels, incorporating other members of cold formed processes collectively known as sheet steel. The nominal thickness of the sheet steel worked on should be less than or equal to 4.8 millimeter. Furthermore, this code incorporates three categories of welding that are distinctive to sheet metal. They include arc plug, arc seam and arc spot welds.

This welding code is appropriate to the welding of mechanical sheet steels to similar structural steels or other supporting members.

The general stipulations of the code are relevant to a wide range of situations as provided for in the code’s fundamental premise. Approval principles for fabrication of welds diverse from ...
