(
OMICS
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Background: The prevalence of obesity in Qatar has reached an alarming rate. In addition,
high prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) was observed
in Gulf countries. In the early 1960's an ...
Drill string nonlinear vibrations: Experimental studies and finite-element analysis
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In the present work, nonlinear vibrations of drill strings are studied. A laboratory scale arrangement consisting of a flexible rod with rotor-stator system is used to study the system dynamics. A finite-element model has ...
