This article demonstrates a new approach for nonlinear finite element analysis. The methodology is very suitable and gives very accurate results in linear as well as in nonlinear range of the material behavior. Proposed methodology can be regarded as stress based finite element analysis as it is required to define the stress distribution within the structural body with structural idealization a...

Topology optimization has been an interesting area of research in recent years.  The main focus of this paper is to use an evolutionary swarm intelligence algorithm to perform Isogeometric Topology optimization of continuum structures.  A two-dimensional plate is analyzed statically and the nodal displacements are calculated.  The nodal displacements using Isogeometric analysis are found to be ...

introduction: raising the knowledge of skeletal and soft tissue changes with aging has been highly essential due to an increasing demand for aesthetic facial surgery following aging. the aim of this study is to evaluate the three dimensional computed tomographic images and process of changes in mandible with aging. materials and methods: in this descriptive study, the facial ct scans were obtai...

turbocharging an engine boosts its power by increasing the amount of input air. this task is accomplished by using the exhaust gas to power a turbine which is engaged with a compressor. the variable geometry turbocharger, vgt is a unique turbocharger that the diffuser vane angle can be changed over a wide range of positions. the mathematics of turbomachinery flow analysis is intensive and uses ...

The paper is concerned with the study of magneto-thermoelastic interactions in three dimensional thermoelastic medium under the purview of three-phase-lag model of generalized thermoelasticity. The medium under consideration is assumed to be homogeneous orthotropic medium. The fundamental equations of the three-dimensional problem of generalized thermoelasticity are obtained as a vector-matrix ...

The importance of similarity in comprehending things and reasoning about them was recognized before the time of Plato. Similarity continues to be important in philosophy, science, and technology to this day. The historical roots of the concepts of similarity, ratio and proportion will be accorded a brief mention in this article order to provide a fuller understanding of the relationship between...

We propose a new method of discriminant analysis, called High Dimensional Discriminant Analysis (HHDA). Our approach is based on the assumption that high dimensional data live in different subspaces with low dimensionality. Thus, HDDA reduces the dimension for each class independently and regularizes class conditional covariance matrices in order to adapt the Gaussian framework to high dimensio...

I describe a version of so-called naive dimensional analysis, a rule for estimating the sizes of terms in an effective theory below the scale of chiral symmetry breaking induced by a strong gauge interaction. The rule is simpler and more general than the original, which it includes as a special case. I also give a simple qualitative interpretation of the rule. Research supported in part by the ...

introduction: a study model is a precise three dimensional replica of patient’s dentition and plays an important role in treatment planning. many digital multi-media applications have become available to the clinician and his or her staff to facilitate standard procedures in practice and management. the aim of this study is to evaluate reliability and validity of dental measurement made on digi...

exergy analysis of a system is a method for recognizing the value and type of system availability against surrounding environment. it also helps to find how macroscopic properties of the system change during a process. this analysis is based on first and second laws of thermodynamics. by exergy analysis proportion of each process in the internal availability transmission and the places of usefu...
