Improvement in computer hardware and Finite Element (FE) software have made it possible to simulate complex phenomenon such as the behavior of automobiles and roadside hardware during crashes. In this paper, the performance of a modified 3"x3" slipbase sign support system is evaluated using Finite Element simulations. The first task of the study consisted of developing an accurate finite elemen...

   Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) technology is a solution for implementation of the nanometer sized circuits and it can be a suitable replacement for CMOS. Similar to CMOS technology, designing the basic computational element such as adder with the QCA technology is regarded as one of the most important issues that extensive researches have been done about it. In this paper, a new eff...

in this study a series of ambient vibration tests on the triple ferrocement elevated water tanks with 150 cubic meters volume, is carried out. in order to verify the dynamic characteristics of full, half-full and one full tanks (mass eccentric system), the different arrangements of sensors are used. the effects of base rotation are also considered in the tests. natural frequencies and mode shap...

The main goal of this research is to extract the full mechanical properties of stitch biax and triax composite materials which are necessary for finite element analysis, based on limited available experimental data and without performing full static characterization tests. Utilized experimental data are limited to elastic modulus of two 0o and 45o directions. Using presented technique and afore...

Abstract A natural coupling of a circuit with an electromagnetic device is possible if special boundary conditions, called Electric Circuit Element (ECE), are used for the field formulation. This contribution shows how these ECE conditions can be implemented into 3D-finite element method solving coupled full-wave (EM) field-circuit problems in frequency domain. The response allows extraction re...
