knowledge of energyconsumption has many uses in industry. factors that are energy dependent have already been studied hence decision making on them are easier. energy demand studies of industry helps us to learn factors that are responsive to this demand. therefore planners can use these collected data in their decision making using the above factors. another use of energy demand can be used as...

in this study, first energy absorption of axial and bending loading is considered. next, thin walled structures under oblique loading are investigated using abaqus computer simulation, where 180 different cases are simulated. simulation results of the thin walled structures under oblique loading were compared with the experimental results of nagel, and good agreement was perceived. simulation r...

the current study presents a new analytical method for buckling analysis of circular plates with constant thickness and poisson’s ratio, made of functionally graded material subjected to radial load. governing equations are based on energy method for thin plates. the boundary conditions of the plate are assumed to be simply supported and clamped. the stability equations were obtained by using c...

a medium scale structural macroeconometric model is constructed to investigate the effects of energy price liberalization on the main macroeconomic variables. the analysis is conducted under 3 different scenarios of increasing the price of energy sources to the level prevailed in the countries of the persian gulf region. these 3 scenarios are a sudden increase, a gradual increase within a 5 yea...

energy consumption in the residential sector is a complex socio-technical problem that can be explained using acombination of physical, demographic and behavioural characteristics of a house and its occupants. in this paper, byusing the energy consumption data for the residential sector of shiraz in iran, the effect of built area (ba) andoccupant number (occ) on annual energy consumption (ec) w...
