the basic strategy of reduce the ductility demand and related concentrated tensions at moment resistance connections is reduce the section of the beam at connected region to column. by this method plastic hinge done at the reduced cross section and this local reduction decreases the demand of the components of connection. on this basis, in present study a new beam-to-column moment connection wi...

concrete filled steel tube columns (cfst) are a kind of composite columns according to advantages of cfst relative to reinforced concrete and steel columns. use of these materials is common in recent years especially in high building, unnecessary of molding, high ductility, proportionate resistance with low volume, economical, low deformation relative to steel columns are among advantages. in t...

metal forming processes, compared with machining ones, reduce production steps and increasemanufacturing speed in addition to saving raw material. in this paper, forming process of column ofa steering mechanism is investigated by finite element analyses and experimental tests; andoptimum die design parameters are found. forming process parameters including die opening angle,bearing length, clea...

An electron microscope study was made of Deltotrichonympha and Koruga, two closely-related hypermastigote flagellates that live in the hindgut of the Australian termite, Mastotermes darwiniensis These symbiotic protozoans have a typical flagellated rostrum and long body flagella. Their "giant centrioles" (centriolar apparatus) are large, fibrillar, and granular bodies which do not resemble typi...
