3-D wall panels are used in the construction of exterior and interior bearing and non-load bearing walls and floors in all types of construction. The present paper investigates the mechanical characteristics of 3D wall ...

A new approach, based on a Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN), has been proposed to predict the unsteady forces and moments of two different models; a 70degree swept delta wing in subsonic incompressible flow and ...

This paper presents a new method for optimization of the dynamic response of structures subjected to seismic excitation. This method is based on the concept of uniform distribution of deformation. In order to obtain the ...

In this paper, a new approach for solving partial differential equations by means of multiple Laplace transforms is developed. The theorem regarding the independence of the final image (final original) on the sequence of ...

A highly convergent Genetic Algorithm (GA) for pipe network optimization is presented in this paper. An artificial genotype passing mechanism, an alternative penalty cost calculation method, an iterative setting of the ...

A numerical analysis has been performed to investigate the ground effects on the main parameters of a two-phase unconfined cloud of fuel and air to study its detonability. Equivalence ratio, turbulence intensity, cloud ...

Large volumes of potable water are imported into almost all urban areas of Iran at extremely high cost, while considerable volumes of urban stormwater are disposed of out of the cities and wasted, mostly into bodies of ...

In this paper, a simple and efficient analytical method, combining elastic large deflection analysis and rigid plastic mechanism analysis, is presented for derivation of the average stress-average strain relationship of ...

The unsteady viscous flow in the vicinity of an axisymmetric stagnation point of an infinitely long rotating circular cylinder is investigated, when the angular velocity varies arbitrarily with time. The free stream is ...
