Lali sub-surface structure, with a NW-SE Zagros trending is located in Dezful Embayment. To determine the folding mechanism, structural geometric parameters including limbs dip, amplitude, wavelength, and crestal length were determined in four stages during deformation. In order to investigate the lateral folding mechanism, these geometric parameters were analyzed in three parts in the Lal...

Experiments on oscillating flow at the abrupt transition between a two-dimensional channel and essentially infinite space are presented. It is shown that phenomena associated with the transition are functions of three independent dimensionless parameters including the dimensionless radius rounding the edge of the end of the channel. The effect of each of these three parameters on the time-avera...

This paper presents a computational method for generating organic textures. The method first tessellates a region into a set of pseudo-Voronoi polygons using a particle model and then generates the detailed geometry of each of the polygons using Loop’s subdivision surface with fractal noise. Unlike previous particle models, which are designed for creating hexagonal cell arrangements, this parti...

The purpose of this study is to investigate a small centrifugal cooling fan applied on notebook computers, which is consisted of a forward-curved impeller and a centrifugal housing. First of all, a basic rotor impeller is designed with the cascade theory. To manufacture the mock-up for experimental verification, the design fan will be expressed in the CAD/CAM format for the CNC machine. All exp...

Context. Two fundamental questions regarding our description of the Universe concern the geometry and topology of its 3-dimensional space. While geometry is a local characteristic that gives the intrinsic curvature, topology is a global feature that characterizes the shape and size of the 3-space. The geometry constrains, but does not dictate, the spatial topology. Aims. We show that besides de...

this paper presents the findings of experimental investigations into the effects of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and approach angle on the machinability of titanium (grade-5) alloy. also the comparison for the two different cutting materials inserts polycrystalline diamond (pcd) and cubic boron nitride (cbn) with similar tool geometry for similar machining parameters is also carried o...

in this paper, by considering a squint angle for synthetic aperture radar in the strip-map mode, a method is proposed for estimating parameters of a fixed acceleration moving target. non-zero doppler centroid and range-azimuth coupling in the squint mode add complexity to estimation equations of moving target parameters and cause doppler ambiguity. this, in turn, causes to lose the efficiency o...

the objective of this research is geometrical optimization of half toroidal continuously variable transmission (cvt) in order to achieve high power transmission efficiency and low weight. after dynamic analysis of the system, the contact between the disk and the roller is modeled according to elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication principles. accordingly, a computer model is created with geometric, th...
