The Uniform Commercial Code: A Reply to Professor Beutel

Achievement of Minimum Seismic Damage for Zipper Braced Frames Based on Uniform Deformations Theory

When structures are subjected to strong ground motion excitations, structural elements may be prone to yielding, and consequently experience significant levels of inelastic behavior. The effects of inelastic behavior on the distribution of peak floor loads are not explicitly accounted for in current seismic code procedures. During recent years, many studies have been conducted to develop new de...

Investigating the distinction of commercial endorsement deadlines with civil commercial documents Iranian law and Geneva and UNCITRAL conventions

One of the common ways of transfer of commercial documents, ownership (bill of exchange, promissory notes and cheque) is endorsement. If the endorsement is subject to Commercial Code, it is considered a commercial endorsement. And if it is out of the scope of this Code, it should be regarded a normal and on the basis of request (claim) transfer. The question that arise here are “how long are th...

بهینهجسازی لایهجچینی ورقجهای کامپوزیتی تحت بار ضربهجای کوبش با بهرهجگیری از روش الگوریتم ژنتیک

Optimisation of stacking sequence for composite plates under slamming impact loads using genetic algorithm method is studied in this paper. For this purpose, slamming load is assumed to have a uniform distribution with a triangular-pulse type of intensity function. In order to perform optimisation based on the genetic algorithm method, a special code is written in MATLAB software environment. T...

Basics and some examples of acceptance of transnational commercial law in Iranian law

Transnational trade usage is the most important source of international commercial law which is based on the course of conduct and practices. Despite the acceptance and application of trade usage in commercial relations, there are some ambiguities regarding its nature, identification and its binding force as a legal rule in national courts procedure. Lack of an international legislative body i...
