the aim of this study was to evaluate sound and decayed wood of iranianbeech (fagus orientalis) with a nondestructive stress wave method. wood samples,with dimensions of 9 by 19 by 200 mm were decayed in laboratory soil-bed tests,based on european pre-standard env-807. the decay was evaluated by measuringbending dynamic modulus of elasticity (moed) and longitudinal dynamicmodulus of elasticity ...

abstract: in this paper, the results of experimental and numerical simulation of low velocity impact process have been carried out to investigate energy absorption of composite sandwich panels with 3d woven fabrics of glass fibers and epoxy resin. for this purpose, diagrams of force-displacement of the quasi-static and quasi-dynamic impact tests were studied. for the finite element simulation, ...

In the present article a numerical procedure is developed for dynamic analysis of single and double autofrettage of thick–walled FG cylinders under transient loading. The governing differential equations are discretized and presented in explicit Lagrangian formalism. The explicit transient solution of discrete equations are obtained on the meshed region and results for stress and strain distrib...

The Taguchi method is a useful technique to improve the performance of products or processes at a lower cost and in less time. This procedure can be categorized in the static and dynamic quality characteristics. The optimization of multiple responses has received increasing attention over the last few years in many manufacturing organizations.  Several approaches dealing with multiple static q...

in order to provide the data needed for the design of saffron processing equipment, physical properties of its flower were investigated. these properties included dimensions, mass, true and bulk densities, porosity, static and dynamic coefficients of friction, and terminal velocity as a function of moisture content. the average range of these properties for the three different parts of saff...
