during the design and development of truck cabins, the safety of the driver and the front seat passenger in an accident is an important task and should be considered. the cab must be designed in such a way that in an accident a sufficient survival space is guaranteed. the aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of iran khodro (ikco) 2624 truck subjected to a complex crash test accordin...

A new nite element method for elliptic problems with locally periodic microstructure of length " > 0 is developed and analyzed. It is shown that the method converges, as " ! 0, to the solution of the homogenized problem with optimal order in " and exponentially in the number of degrees of freedom independent of " > 0. The computational work of the method is bounded independently of ". Numerical...

sandwich sheet rolling process is investigated using an analytical method (slab method) and a numerical method (finite element method). the horizontal stress distribution in the layers, the rolling pressure along the contact interface and the neutral point between the roll and the sheet are investigated. then the affects of the parameters such as the friction between the sheet and the roll, she...

in this paper, the axisymmetric corrugated diaphragm using finite element method will be discussed, so that half of these diaphragms’ cross sections and later the applied pressure will be considered. following this, using the consequent equations and visual basic software, a computer program will be provided which receives the diaphragms’ particulars such as diameter, thickness, pressure and th...

condition monitoring of bldc motors due to their important applications is gaining more and more significance. rotor eccentricity is one of the most important sources of faults in these motors. up to now, detection methods of this fault under nonstationary conditions are limited to complicated and time-consuming methods using wavelets and cohen class algorithms which are difficult to implement ...

An extension of the contour integral method (CIM) for the computation of stress intensity factors for loaded cracks is presented. Numerical solutions of the two-dimensional linear elasticity equations are computed with the p-version of the generalized finite element method. Polynomial enrichment functions as well as enrichment with near crack tip asymptotic expansion are used. The robustness of...
