in this research, the numerical method of computational fluid dynamics and dimensionless parameter of froude number have been applied to determine the flow regime over ogee spillways.froude number is a dimensionless dynamic parameter calculated using the square root of the ratio of inertia force and gravitational force. considering that the study of the regimes of flow over hydraulic structures...

In this study, two-dimensional electro-mechanical analysis of a composite rotating shaft subjected to non-axisymmetric internal pressure and applied voltage is investigated where hollow piezoelectric shaft reinforced by boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). Composite structure is modeled based on piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (PFRC) theory and a representative volume element has been cons...

Overflow spillways are essential structures of dam projects, releasing surplus flood water to ensure safety. The discharge capacity these depends mainly on their geometry; the mos...

Dynamic behavior of a circular shaft with geometrical nonlinearity and constant spin, subjected to periodic axial load is investigated. The case of parametric combination resonance is studied. Extension of shaft center line is the source of nonlinearity. The shaft has gyroscopic effect and rotary inertia but shear deformation is neglected. The equations of motion are derived by extended Hamilto...

High-voltage circuit breakers are mechanical switching devices which connect and break current circuits (operating currents and fault currents) and carry the nominal current in closed position. As a result of multi-running, the shaft sleeve in operation mechanism could slip and even strip from the shaft at the hinge joint, which decreases the system reliability. In this work, investigations on ...

in this paper we investigate the mechanism of internal erosion caused in the right abutment of the shahghasem dam’s spillway. shahghasem dam is an earthen dam located in yasouj, in southwest of iran. a significant hole and pipe have been observed in the corner of the right abutment from upstream view. the foundation is marlstone, which has low cohesion and susceptible for internal erosion and p...

Analysis of genotypes for genetic predisposition of diseases has profound and widespread clinical application and has become a fundamental tool in the study of molecular epidemiology. In this study, we report a convenient and completely noninvasive approach to perform genotyping using terminal cephalic hair shaft. The average and median DNA amounts purified from the hair shaft are 112 180 (1 SD...

-In the present work an attempt is made to evaluate the suitability of composite material such as E-Glass/Epoxy and HMCarbon/Epoxy for the purpose of automotive transmission applications. A one-piece composite drive shaft for automobile is designed and analyzed using ANSYS software respectively for E-Glass/ Epoxy and HM-Carbon/Epoxy composites with the objective of minimization of weight of the...

Guaranteeing transaction semantics in a highly available and fault tolerant manner is desirable to application developers. Besides, it is a very valuable feature for database-backed applications. SHAFT is a pessimistic concurrency control protocol for partitioned and replicated data, which can be distributed across multiple datacenters. Laying its basis on the Paxos algorithm, the SHAFT protoco...
