this paper deals with evaluating the thermal behavior of exterior walls in dwellings of a particular place. today, there is a huge increase in constructing multi-storey apartment buildings and single-family houses in the city of yazd, a city with hot dry climate and a rich historical architecture in iran. unfortunately, the new methods that are used nowadays to make the envelopes of these dwell...

abstract: a time domain semi-analytical solution to study thermoelastic creep behavior of  functionally graded rotating axisymmetric disks with variable thickness is presented. the rate type governing differential equations for the considered structure are derived and analytically solved. to solve these  equations, the disk is divided into some virtual sub-domains. general solution of  equilibr...

In this study the interaction between self-excited and paramet rically excited oscillations in two-degree-of-freedom systems with quadratic nonlinearities is investigated. The fundamental parametric resonance of the first mode and 3:1 internal resonance is considered, followed by 1:2 internal and parametric resonances of the second mode. The method of multiple time scales is applied to derive f...

Abstract Laterally confined marine outlet glaciers exhibit a diverse range of behaviours. This study investigates time-evolving and steady configurations such glaciers. Using simplified analytic models, it determines conditions for states, their stability expressions the rate calving-front migration three widely used calving rules. It also effects ice mélange when is present. The results show t...

conclusions the assr can accurately predict the degree and configuration of hearing loss and discriminate the normal hearing from mild or moderate hearing loss and mild from moderate hearing loss, except for 500 hz. the air-conducted assr could not define the type of hearing loss. results the assr accurately estimates the behavioral thresholds as well as flat and sloping configurations. there w...
