in this paper, the effect of autofrettage process parameters on the ultimate pressure that functionally graded spherical vessel can tolerate are investigated. fgm properties and autofrettage pressure are considered as important parameters. assumptions are variation of properties of fgm in radial direction, the residual stress in the absence of bauschinger effect with the operation of variable m...

purpose: doing plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion is an effective practice for rapid increase of muscles strength their hypertrophy. we evaluated the effects of plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion on electromyographic parameters. methods: in this quasi-experimental study, 22 females were selected through convenience sampling method. they were randoml...

This research pertains to the three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) of the stress intensity factors (SIFs) along the crack front in a spherical pressure vessel coated with functionally graded material (FGM). The vessel is subjected to internal pressure and thermal gradient. The exponential function is adopted for property of FGMs. SIFs are obtained for a wide variety of crack sha...

Introduction: This paper addresses a method for automatic detection of blood vessels in color fundus images which utilizes two main tools: image partitioning and local Radon transform. Material and Methods: The input images are firstly divided into overlapping windows and then the Radon transform is applied to each. The maximum of the Radon transform in each window corresponds to the probable a...
