This study aims to investigate the effects of geometric imperfections on buckling of thin cylindrical shells due to global shear. To this end, more than 320 finite element models of cylindrical shells with different diameter to thickness ratios were prepared. Random imperfections with different amplitudes were applied to numerical models. The results revealed that global buckling of cylindrical...

the concept of geometric-arithmetic indices (ga) was put forward in chemical graph theoryvery recently. in spite of this, several works have already appeared dealing with these indices.in this paper we present lower and upper bounds on the second geometric-arithmetic index(ga2) and characterize the extremal graphs. moreover, we establish nordhaus-gaddum-typeresults for ga2.

continuing the work k. c. das, i. gutman, b. furtula, on second geometric-arithmetic indexof graphs, iran. j. math chem., 1(2) (2010) 17-28, in this paper we present lower and upperbounds on the third geometric-arithmetic index ga3 and characterize the extremal graphs.moreover, we give nordhaus-gaddum-type result for ga3.

‎in this paper first we define the morphism between geometric spaces in two different types‎. ‎we construct two categories of $uu$ and $l$ from geometric spaces then investigate some properties of the two categories‎, ‎for instance $uu$ is topological‎. ‎the relation between hypergroups and geometric spaces is studied‎. ‎by constructing the category $qh$ of $h_{v}$-groups we answer the question...

iran is believed to occupy the second place, following turkey, among the apricot producing countries in the world. iran is faced with problems in export of apricot due to little or non-observance of drying principals and inattention to world market requirements. the physical and mechanical properties of agricultural products are the most needed and important parameters for design and developmen...

Left ventricular (LV) longitudinal and transverse geometric changes during isovolumic contraction and relaxation are still controversial. This confusion is compounded by traditional definitions of these phases of the cardiac cycle. High-resolution sonomicrometry studies might clarify these issues. Crystals were implanted in six sheep at the LV apex, fibrous trigones, lateral and posterior mitra...

Surface-architecture-controlled ZnO nanowires were grown using a vapor transport method on various ZnO buffer film coated c-plane sapphire substrates with or without Au catalysts. The ZnO nanowires that were grown showed two different types of geometric properties: corrugated ZnO nanowires having a relatively smaller diameter and a strong deep-level emission photoluminescence (PL) peak and smoo...
