because of fluctuation in leg tension, pitch motion is very effective fatigue and life safety of leg elements in tension leg structures (tlss). in this paper an exact solution for pitch vibration of a tls interacting with ocean wave is presented. the legs of tlp are considered as elastic springs. the flow is assumed to be irrotational and single-valued velocity potentials are defined. the effec...

tension-leg platform (tlp) is a vertically moored floating structure. the platform is permanently mooredby tendons. surge equation of motion of tlp is highly nonlinear because of large displacement and it should be solved with perturbation parameter in time domain. this paper compare the dynamic motion responses of a tlp in regular sea waves obtained by applying three method in time domain usin...

treated sea water is the most significant source of water and surfactant floods. the various chemicals employed in treatment plants should be compatible with surfactant systems. based on surface tension experiments, the activity of these chemicals is examined over a wide range of concentrations in different solutions, including distillated water, sea water by using three types of surfactant mix...

a statistical mechanical based equation of state has been employed to calculate the liquid density of lead, mercury, bismuth and lead-bismuth and lead-lithium eutectic alloys.the equation is basically that of song, mason and ihm [ihm g, song y, mason ea. j. chem. phys.1991; 94: 3839] which is modified by ghatee and boushehri. three temperature dependent parameters are required to use this equat...

background: the existence of a pathophysiological link between headaches and muscle activity pattern is still being debated. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pain on the timing pattern of the masseter muscle in patients with tension-type headache (tth) and migraine without aura (moa). methods: 57 women (22 controls, 19 moa and 16 tth) participated in the study. the ele...

measurement of the loads exerted on the limb is a fundamental part of designing of an assistive device, which has been done by using strain gauges or a transducer. although calculation of loads applied on an orthosis coefficients achieved from calibration is a standard way, most of researchers determined the loads based on available equations. therefore, the aim of this research is finding the ...

In this research, Sauter-mean drop diameters and the flooding behavior have been investigated experimentally in a pilot scale Kühni extraction column. The experiments were carried out in the absence of mass transfer for two different standard chemical systems. In the experiments operating parameters including agitation speed, flow rate of both liquid phases and interfacial tension have been stu...
