In this paper, numerical simulation of FRP composite cylinder tubes progressive crushing processes is conducted using LS-Dyna. Details on the numerical modeling strategy are given and discussed. It is found that triggers introduced in the numerical simulation can effectively model the bevel trigger at the end of the tubular specimens. It is also found that two-layer finite element model based o...

background: the monte carlo method is the most accurate method for simulation of radiation therapy equipment. the linear accelerators are currently the most widely used machines in radiation therapy centers. methods: in this work, a monte carlo modelling of the siemens oncor linear accelerator in 6 mv and 18 mv beams was performed. the results of simulation were validated by measurements in wat...

introduction superficial x-ray therapy is one of the most important treatment methods in radiotherapy especially in the treatment of superficial skin lesions (up to 300 kvp). quality of the x-ray beam that can be expressed by half-value layer (hvl), are important indices for this type of treatment effective energy of photon and homogeneity coefficient (hc). materials and methods the hc of the s...

background: the assessment of rbe quantity in the treatment of cancer tumors with proton beams in treatment planning systems (tps) is of high significance. given the significance of the issue and the studies conducted in the literature, this quantity is fixed and is taken as equal to 1.1. objective: the main objective of this study was to assess rbe quantity of proton beams and their variations...
