There are mainly two methods of deep drawing analysis; experimental and analytical/numerical. Experimental analysis can be useful in analyzing the process to determine the process parameters that produce a defect free product, and the analytical/numerical modeling can be used to model and analyze the process through all stages of deformation. This approach is less time consuming and more econom...

Computational study was carried out to determine average heat transfer coefficients and friction factors for turbulent flow through rectangular ducts with ribs. A commercial finite volume package ANSYS FLUENT 12.1 is used to analyze and visualize the nature of the flow across the ribbed duct The fluid in the duct was air, and the average heat transfer coefficients were determined by measuring t...

A preliminary study of structural concepts for noncircular fuselage configurations is presented. For an unconventional flying-wing type aircraft, in which the fuselage is inside the wing, multiple fuselage bays with non-circular sections need to be considered. In a conventional circular fuselage section, internal pressure is carried efficiently by a thin skin via hoop tension. If the section is...

This study introduces the free vibration analysis of multilayered symmetric sandwich Timoshenko beams, made of functionally graded materials with two edge cracked, using the finite element method and linear elastic fracture mechanic theory. The FG beam consists of 50 layers, located symmetrically to the neutral plane, whose material properties distribution change along the beam thickness, accor...

plan irregularity causes local damages being concentrated in the irregular buildings. progressive collapse is also the collapse of a large portion or whole building due to the local damages in the structure. the effect of irregularity on the progressive collapse potential of the buildings is investigated in this study. this is carried out by progressive collapse evaluation of the asymmetric mid...

Abstract In this work, we study the transversal vibration of thin periodic elastic plates through asymptotic homogenization. particular, consider soft inclusions and rigid with coatings embedded in a stiff matrix. The method provides general expression for dynamic surface density plate, which compute analytically circular or numerically two-way ribbed plates. Through homogenization, find that b...

The pullout resistance of reinforcement is an important parameter in the design reinforced retaining structures. At incipient failure, kinematics failure a structure shows that sliding mass soil pulls obliquely along slip surface. response to oblique pull can be considered made up equivalent axial and transverse components pull. Accordingly, tests were conducted on geostrip, metal strip (both s...
