impact is one of the most important subjects which always have been considered in mechanical science. nature of impact is such that which makes its control a hard task. therefore it is required to adopt a safe and secure mechanism for transferring the impact to other vulnerable parts of a structure, when it is necessary. one of the best methods of absorbing impact energy is using thin-walled tu...

metallic nanoparticles can exhibit very large optical extinction in the visible spectrum due to localized surface plasmon resonance. spherical plasmonic nanoparticles have been the subject of numerous studies in recent years due to the fact that the scattering response of spheres can be analytically evaluated using mie theory. however a major disadvantage of metallic spherical nanoparticles is ...

the static strain aging is a phenomenon that can change the mechanical properties of low carbon steels. thus, the static strain aging behavior of low carbon steel wires after drawing process is studied. to do so, the wires are austenitized at different temperatures and cooled in different rates. then the wires are drawn and aged at a specific temperature and time. before and after aging of each...

purpose: altered kinematics of the scapula or scapular dyskinesis (downward rotation, anterior tilt, and protraction) contribute to impingement syndrome by decreasing the subacromial space. given the critical role of scapular position and movement in the function of the shoulder, the aim of this study was to compare scapular position and dyskinesis in individuals with and without rounded should...

based on three-dimensional theory of elasticity, static analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (fg-cntrc) cylindrical panel subjected to mechanical uniformed load with simply supported boundary conditions is carried out. in the process, stress and displacement fields are expanded according to the fourier series along the axial and circumferential coordinates. from ...

a key parameter for the application of polymer gels in water shut off treatment is the adsorption of polymer gel onto the rock surface. so, the adsorption properties of a nanocomposite hydrogel were discussed in this research by crosslinking of sulfonated polyacrylamide/sodium montmorillonite aqueous solutions with chromium triacetate. the x-ray diffraction patterns indicated that exfoliated ty...

inclined retaining walls with slopes less than perpendicular are appropriate candidates in several engineering problems. yet, to the knowledge of authors, only a few analytical solution for calculation of active earth pressure on such walls, which will be usually smaller than the same pressure on vertical ones, has been presented neither in research papers nor in design codes. considering limit...
