The influence of the sample size (diameter while keeping the length constant) in equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) of pure aluminum is examined using finite element method (FEM) and experiment. Different sized aluminum rods were processed via ECAP and the effect of sample size on the strain homogeneity, process load, and the ratio of the friction to the total force were evaluated. The resul...

The soil reaction of the monopile foundation subjected to lateral loading in offshore wind turbines is typically assessed relying on p-y curves advocated by API. However, this method inadequate for gradually increasing diameters and significantly underestimates confinement. In present works, a 3D pile-soil interaction finite element model was first established, considering suction strain harden...

to determine the most important traits affecting root yield and sugar content in monogerm germplasm of sugar beet, 75 monogerm f1 hybrids were evaluated in three separate experments conducted in randomized complete block desing (rcb) with four replications at abdo–al–rasoul research farm, karaj in 2004. root yield, root length, root diameter, crown height, crown diameter, sugar content, α–amino...

fecundity is one of the important indicators of reproduction biology in fishes especially in rearing and restocking management of endangered species such as sturgeon. the fecundity of stellate sturgeon (acipenser stellatus pallas, 1771) was studied in 50 specimens captured by gill net (mesh size= 100 mm) and seine net in different fishing areas along the southeastern part of the caspian sea fro...

in order to evaluation of squash (cucurbita pepo) seed yield per fruit and its relations with other characteristics of fruit include: length, diameter, length: diameter ratio (fruit shape), flesh thickness, thousand seed weight and fruit weight, an experiment was conducted using 24 accessions of squash as a randomized complete-block design with three replications. morphological traits were eval...
