this paper is an attempt to numerical modeling and experimental study of air flow in the yazdi wind-towers. wind towers has been known as one of the most effective climatic elements in iranian traditional architecture. this paper is an attempt to evaluating yazdi wind-tower to discussion the two main questions: 1. what is the role of orientation of wind-towers span, regarding to climate and hei...

<span lang="EN-US">Nowadays, smart devices have become a major part of human life, and this need has led to an increase in the demand for these devices, prompting telecommunications companies compete with each other acquire bulk market. This competition significant number mobile towers, expand coverage area. Each communication tower transmitters receivers connect subscribers within networ...

As one of the main characteristics of seismic waves, apparent wave velocity has great influence on seismic responses of long-span suspension bridges. Understanding these influences is important for seismic design. In this article, the critical issues concerning the traveling wave effect analysis are first reviewed. Taizhou Bridge, the longest triple-tower suspension bridge in the world, is then...

In 1972, J.T.P. Yao introduced the modern control theory into vibration control of civil structures (Yao, 1972), which started the new era of research on structural active control in civil engineering field. During the development of nearly 40 years, Active Mass Driver/Damper (AMD) control, with the better control effect and cheaper control cost, has taken the lead in various active control occ...

this article is a comparative evaluation of airflow in two kinds of yazdi and kermani wind-towers. in the late decades of twenty century regarding to high population growth rate and energy crisis, vernacular architecture and its passive methods for gaining thermal comfort, has been strongly focused. moreover, a huge scientific movement setup for researches deep in exploring passive cooling and ...

This paper presents a novel Monte-Carlo based model for the analysis of backflashover rate (BFOR) on high voltage transmission lines. The proposed model aims to take into the account following aspects of the BFOR phenomenon: transmission line (TL) route keraunic level(s), statistical depiction of lightningcurrent parameters (including statistical correlation), electrogeometric model of lightnin...

High speed data over power line seems as unique solution for the sparsely populated areas. Several research and field experiments have been done to investigate the feasibility of this communication channel. The aim of this article is to simulate the high speed data communication via power cables. The effect of physical properties of power line on data communication is investigated. The research...
