Abstract. In this paper we are giving a quantitative description of two different configurations for noncontact gears. We consider the solutions from a perturbative calculation for two semitransparent parallel plates and concentric cylinders both with corrugations on the inner surfaces. In the case of corrugated parallel plates we discuss results from firstand second-order perturbation calculat...

Abstract: Based on the characteristics of box girder with corrugated steel webs, the existing prestressing force, the effect of shear deformation of composite girder on the deflection, “folding effect” in longitudinal direction of corrugate steel webs and the arrangement of external tendons were considered comprehensively. With the experiment results of five literatures integrated, N/fcA (the a...

The use of concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns is highly encouraged nowadays in modern multistory structures. major reason the extensive resistance offered by hollow column to high compression. Nevertheless, further studies and data are desirable exhaustively characterize these members their connections other members, such as beams. This paper investigated behavior connected I-beams throu...

This paper presents experimental research on structural behaviour of normal and recycled aggregate concrete filled steel tube (RACFT) columns externally strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets and subjected to axial loading. A total of 22 specimens were tested to investigate the influence of the following variables: (1) tube configurations, circular or square, solid or h...

The behavior of steel structures subjected to seismic actions depends directly on the connections behavior. There are two current tendencies for ensuring the structural ductility: allowing the formation of plastic hinges in the beams by using reduced beam sections or reduced web sections or by ensuring the plastic hinge formation in the connection by using dissipative elements. This paper prese...

dye sensitized solar cell was fabricated from a double layer photoanode. first, tio2 nanoparticles  were synthesized by hydrothermal method. these tio2 nps were deposited on fto glasses by electrophoretic deposition  method in applied voltage of 5 v and epd time of 2.5-10 min. then tio2 hollow spheres (hss) were synthesized by sacrificed template method with carbon spheres as template and ttip ...

in the present study, turbulent flow in channels of a plate heat exchanger with corrugated chevron plates has been simulated numerically using the commercial cfd package, fluent. unstructured mesh is used for discretizing the computational domain and simple algorithm is utilized to solve the pressure and velocity equations. there is a wide selection of different plate heat exchangers within the...
