چکیده
Continuously Heated Greenhouses: A production or retail greenhouse with a constantly maintained temperature of 50 degrees F or more during winter months. Such greenhouse must also have a maintenance attendant on duty at all times or an adequate temperature alarm system to provide warning in the event of a heating system failure. In addition, the greenhouse roof material must have a thermal resistance (R) less than 2.0.

A Simple Approach for Determination of Actuator and Sensor Locations in Smart Structures Subjected To the Dynamic Loads
The present work demonstrates the successful application of a simple active vibration control procedure based on structural dynamics. Based on mathematical and structural dynamics’ theories, the appropriate locations of sensor and actuator locations of the smart structure are predicted. Also, the optimum value of actuator force which controls the structural vibrations as quickly as it is possib...
متن کاملStructural Fatigue Reliability Based on Extension of Random Loads into Interval Variables
According to the problem that for a structure under random loads, the structural fatigue life can’t be directly calculated out by S-N curves and linear Miner cumulative damage rule. Owing to the uncertainty of loads, and the problem of the inaccuracy of calculated structural reliability index for the existence of deviation between measured data in projects and real data, the research method for...
متن کاملStructural Design of a Horizontal-Axis Tidal Current Turbine Composite Blade
This paper describes the structural design of a tidal turbine composite blade. The structural design is preceded by two steps: hydrodynamic design and determination of extreme loads. The hydrodynamic design provides the blade external shape, i.e. the chord and twist distributions along the blade, which result in optimal performance of the tidal turbine over its lifetime. The extreme loads, i.e....
متن کاملBuckling Analysis of Structures with Uncertain Properties and Loads Using an Interval Finite Element Method
In order to ensure the safety of a structure, one must provide for adequate strength of structural elements. In addition, one must prevent large unstable deformations such as buckling. In most analyses of buckling, structural properties and applied loads are considered certain. This approach ignores the fact that imperfections and unknown changes in properties, albeit small, are required for on...
متن کاملTOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF DOUBLE LAYER GRIDS FOR EARTHQUAKE LOADS USING A TWO-STAGE ESO-ACO METHOD
A two-stage optimization method is presented by employing the evolutionary structural optimization (ESO) and ant colony optimization (ACO), which is called ESO-ACO method. To implement ESO-ACO, size optimization is performed using ESO, first. Then, the outcomes of ESO are employed to enhance ACO. In optimization process, the weight of double layer grid is minimized under various constraints whi...
متن کاملTOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES UNDER TRANSIENT LOADS
In this article, an efficient methodology is presented to optimize the topology of structural systems under transient loads. Equivalent static loads concept is used to deal with transient loads and to solve an alternate quasi-static optimization problem. The maximum strain energy of the structure under the transient load during the loading interval is used as objective function. The objective f...
