In this study, Hydrus-1D model was used to simulate the evaporation from the soil surface for different wetting intervals for northern region(sandy loam and clay loam) using input for climatic data , and data of class A pan evaporation. The results showed that data of pan evaporation class A can be relied on in simulating and calculation of evaporation from the soil surface, where the standards of statistics (IOA, R) calculated on the basis of evaporation pan class A data are better for the wetting intervals (2, 4, 8, 16 ) days compared with the values of those standards based on full climate data and both types of soil. The study also showed that the wetting intervals and their impact on evaporation from the soil surface and evaporation stages reasonably agree with the results of field experiments that have been made in this area.

In this research, a functionally graded polymeric matrix composites (FGPMCs) were produced using centrifugal casting method. These composites were fabricated from unsaturated polyester resin as a matrix and reinforced with silicon carbide particles (SiCp) of (106μm) and (6%)bulk volume fraction, using different mold rotational speeds(400,500,600 R.P.M) at room temperature (22Co). Additional (3) samples of pure polyester were manufactured at the same conditions for comparison purpose . The aim of the present research was to study the effect of mold rotational speed on local values of volume fraction, hardness and Young modulus at specific points along the graded samples. Hardness was measured at these points then graded samples were cut to eight portions . Density and volume fraction were evaluated, then standard homogenous samples of constant but different volume fraction were manufactured. Results shows that local values of volume fraction, hardness and Young Modulus decreased in nearby positions of the center of rotation and increased in positions far away from the center of rotation with increasing mold rotational speed.

The use of wood shavings, as a recycled waste product from the wood furniture industries is an interesting technique to produce lightweight cement composites. This study aims at examining the mechanical properties of wood shavings-cement lightweight composites. First, the wood shavings were pre-treated with water or superplasticizer or Cement Based Bitumen Emulsion (CBBE). Then, the compressive strength and tensile strength of the wood-cement matrix were experimentally evaluated. Finally, it is shown that the addition of wood shavings to cement paste gives a composite with satisfactory mechanical strengths with respect to its weight and higher toughness in addition to environmental and economic benefits.

This study was conducted to investigate the properties of lightweight concrete produced by the inclusions of polystyrene beads and perlite that can be used for production of Canoe. Different percentages of polystyrene (20, 35, 50 and 65%) were used. Besides, the 50% of polystyrene beds with different percentages of perlite (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60%) as partial replacement of sand were used. The fresh density, compressive strength, flexural strength and absorption capacity of the mixes were tested. The results show that the uses of 50% of polystyrene with 50% of perlite as partial replacement of sand exhibit suitable ranges of density, compressive and flexural strengths of lightweight concrete used for canoe production. Thus, the Canoe produced from these inclusions of polystyrene and perlite show a clear success in terms of floating.

Copper is one of the few metals with significant commercial uses. Although frequently used as a pure metal or with small amounts of metal additives, copper can form 82 binary alloys. Two of the most common are brass (copper-zinc) and bronze (copper-tin). This research work tries to study the ultrasonic behaviour in one of the important brass alloys represented by (α + β`) brass alloy. Specimens of (α + β`) brass were machined to cylindrical shape with different thicknesses in order to study the effect of the sound scanning distance on the acoustic attenuation of the ultrasonic waves. The results indicate that it is plausible to inspect (α + β`) brass using both 2MHz and 4MHz frequencies, and that the acoustic attenuation of ultrasonic waves has increased when 4MHz probe was used. In addition, the results illustrate that the acoustic attenuation increases as the sound path distance increases.

The main objective of this investigation is to obtain performance efficiency and the coefficient of discharge for Piano Key weir with downstream overhang. One hundred thirty five experiments were conducted on models of Piano key weirs. Three slope of the inlet key (Si = 0.7, 0.6, 0.46), three different ratios for the inlet key width to the out let key width (Wi/Wo= 1, 1.61, 1.81) and three heights (p = 30, 25, 20) cm for each weir were used. The results showed that the slope of the inlet key (0.7) gave a lower values of performance efficiency and a highest values of coefficient of discharge than (0.6, 0.46) keys while ratios of inlet key width to the out let key width (Wi/Wo = 1.81) gave a highest values of coefficient of discharge. An empirical relationship was found for estimate the coefficient of discharge and performance efficiency in relation to the non dimensionless variable.

Abstract The work concerns a laboratory study to investigate the effect of changing the bed roughness of the main channel on the branching discharge and separation zone formed in the main channel as a result of discharging flow through a branch channel. The ratio of main channel roughness to the roughness of the branch channel bed has been changed between (1.7 – 3.9) for two branching angles (30 ̊ , 90 ̊ ) and for different values of main channel discharge ranged between (7 – 17) L/sec. Laboratory result shows that branching discharge ratio increases by the increasing the total discharge through the main channel at roughness ratio less than (2), where's the branching discharge decreases at roughness ratio greater than (2), and stay constant at roughness ratio about (2) for all discharge passing through the main channel. The result shows that the length of the separation zone decrease with the increasing in the roughness ratio and total discharge through the main channel.

Ultrasonic metal welding (USMW) has become an efficient technique covers a wide range of applications of metals. Because of recent light weight of the parts, an efficient technique like (USMW) has become more applicable, because it considers more accurate, more minimised welding method than before. Welding horn must be designed on satisfying many criteria: vibrate longitudinally at operating frequency, isolated the axial mode from other nearest vibration frequencies, uniformity of vibration amplitude at the working surface and high amplitude of the operating mode. This research presents an approach to the design and simulate of the horn configuration which satisfies these criteria. The simulation and vibration mode shape characterisation of the horn is discussed and the analysis is accomplished using FE-package (ABAQUS), whilst the vibration modes are classified using experimental data from 3D laser Doppler vibrometer measurements. Modal and harmonic analysis are completed successfully to examine the frequency for the welding tuned horn
