in this paper, a rectangular sandwich plate with a constrained layer and an electrorheological (er) fluid core is investigated. the rectangular plate is covered an er fluid core and a constraining layer to improve the stability of the system. the two outer layers of the sandwich structure are elastic. the viscoelastic materials express the middle layer behavior under electric field and small st...

Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) is a powerful method for analyzing elemental, chemical, dielectric, and other information. The technique can be extended to produce quantitative images useful for interpreting the spatial distribution of this information. This paper describes an implementation of a new method of quantitative mapping...

Due to Lorentz invariance of General Relativity gravitational interaction is limited to the speed of light. Thus for particles, moving within a matter field, retardation leads to loss of energy by emission of gravitational radiation. This ’gravitomagnetic’ effect, applied to motion in homogeneous mass filled space, acts like a viscous force, slowing down every motion in the universe on the Hubb...

The loss of distribution networks caused by various electrical motors including transformers and generators can significantly affect the efficiency economical operation power grid, especially for new systems with high penetration renewable energies. In this paper, potential using an energy storage system (ESS) reduction is investigated, where a novel two-stage method key-bus selection ESS sched...

in this research, in order to develop new relationships with reasonable accuracy for estimation of the ‎submerged hydraulic jump characteristics, a study has been conducted experimentally. experiments have ‎been done in a rectangular channel with a length of 9 m, a width of 0.5 m and a depth of 0.45 m. froude ‎numbers in these tests range from 3.5 to 11.5 and between submergence ratios of 0.1 t...

Background and objectives: The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of a progressive resistance-training program beside an energy deficit diet on body Composition, insulin resistance and plasma adiponectin levels in overweight adult men. Methods: Twenty-five overweight men (age =32.1 ± 4.3 years, BMI =28.9 ± 1.3 kg.m-2) were randomly assigned into one of the two groups: resis...

industrial energy consumption lies between 30% and 70% of the total energy consumed in selected countries. cement production is one of the most energy intensive industries all around the world. this paper deals with an energy audit analysis in a cement plant in iran. in all recent works, after performing an energy audit, different strategies are offered to reduce energy losses. generally, these...
