generally, fatigue failure in an element happens at the notch on a surface where the stress level rises because of the stress concentration effect. the present paper investigates the effect of a notch on the fatigue life of the hsla100 (­high strength low alloy) steel which is widely applicable in the marine industry. tensile test was conducted on specimens and mechanical properties were obtain...

laffer curve indicates relationship between tax rate and tax income. the aim of this paper is estimating of laffer curve in iranian economy. to do so, we have used threshold regression method. empirical results indicate that since the tax rate is low (the threshold value is less than 0.0848) in two-regime model, tax rate and tax income have a significant positive relationship, but when the tax ...

a method has been presented for finding the solution surface of the npde: u  c , bounded by a general space curve. the method is based on the geometric characteristics of the surface, and is called the “cone-slot method”. it has been shown that such a surface can be obtained by movement of a cone inside the slot formed by the boundary space curve. an algorithm has been suggested on the basis ...

In this study, the incomplete gamma function, an exponential function, a mixed-log function and a polynomial function were evaluated to describe the lactation curve in Moroccan Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. Data from 1990 to 1999, comprising 77130 monthly milk yields of 6029 dairy cows in 280 dairy herds, were used. Edits were carried out by considering the lactation length (5 d and
