in this paper, first design and analysis history of full metal cng cylinders for vehicle are investigated. next with respect to the cng worldwide standards, a full metal type cylinder is designed and analysed. then the numerical analysis results and practical results are compared, and the correctness of the investigation is verified. in the end, the most suitable alloy with respect to the dimen...

In this paper, free and forced vibration analysis of functionally graded material cylinders was carried out by mesh-free and finite element method. In this analysis, MLS shape functions are used for approximation of displacement field in the weak form of motion equation and essential boundary conditions are imposed by transformation method. Resulted set of differential equations are solved usin...

An infinite row of periodically spaced, identical rigid circular cylinders is excited by an acoustic line source, which is parallel to the generators of the cylinders. A method for calculating the scattered field accurately and efficiently is presented. When the cylinders are sufficiently close together, Rayleigh–Bloch surface waves, which propagate energy to infinity along the array are excite...

This paper describes an underwater object discrimination system applied to recognize cylinders of various compositions from diierent angles. The system is based on a new combination of simulated dolphin clicks, simulated auditory lters and artiicial neural networks. The model demonstrates its potential on real data collected from four diierent cylinders in an environment where the angles were c...

We investigate the errors associated with the use of circular cylinders as surrogates for hexagonal columns in computing the optical properties of pristine ice crystals at infrared (8-12-microm) wavelengths. The equivalent circular cylinders are specified in terms of volume (V), projected area (A), and volume-to-area ratio that are equal to those of the hexagonal columns. We use the T-matrix me...

in this paper, the effects of carbon nanotube (cnt) orientation and aggregation on the static behavior of functionally graded nanocomposite cylinders reinforced by cnts are investigated based on a mesh-free method. the used nanocomposites are made of the straight cnts that are embedded in an isotropic polymer as matrix. the straight cnts are oriented, randomly or aligned or local aggregated int...

numerical study has been carried out for slot air jet impingement cooling of horizontal concentric circular cylinders. the slot air jet is situated at the symmetry line of a horizontal cylinder along the gravity vector and impinges to the bottom of the outer cylinder which is designated as θ=0°. the outer cylinder is partially opened at the top with width of w=30mm and is kept at constant tempe...

This work is intended to investigate the accuracy of modelling simple cylindrical vegetation structures for microwave remote sensing applications. Plane wave scattering by dielectric cylinders of finite length and circular cross section is examined. Cylinders with a radius that varies linearly along the cylinder length — hereafter referred to as tapered cylinders — are also considered. Exact ex...

The peer-reviewed publications contained within this thesis describe studies that have contributed significantly to the understanding of long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) for Australian Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients. My personal contribution to each of these studies ranged from the initial development of the hypotheses and design and execution of the investigations, submis...
